I'm also told he followed that with "And anyone who does understand quantum physics is insane."(Or some such statement.) Here's the article from Physics Web: http://www.physicsweb.org/article/news/8/6/10 They generally have the actual science rather than the sensationalized half-understood version, though some of their articles can be heavy going if you aren't up on the background. The basic problem here is that what quantum physicists are calling teleportation isn't really the same thing that Star Trek calls teleportation. If we ever reach the point where we could use this particular method on people, my understanding is that it would be more like making a copy of you somewhere else than sending you somewhere else. Maybe that's how dittoing works, come to think of it. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
