edlib Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Originally posted by Rogue 9: if your talking about the Australian Experiement, it was conducted on Photons not Quantum particles, unless they are the same thing that is in which case I'm a Moron , but only for a few minutes Like I said, I don't remember the exact details of the experiment, only that it's possible. Either way it's still a quantum level event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it may have taken the fiction a bit too far at some points. The quantum theories are most exciting because, as pointed out, they do throw many of the old rules out the window. And I can't recall which parts of the book were fact, and which were bent a little bit, but I thought there have actually been quantum teleportation experiments performed successfully somewhere? ------------------ "With the blast shield down, I can't even see.

Poor Bastard Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 I thought this thread was boring. It's nice to see I was right. ------------------ "I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species.

Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 firstly ive never even heard of that book and secondaly i watched a BBC tv programme about time and teleportation what they said was if you take 2 twined quatum particles (that is two quatum particles that were created at excatly the same time and are excatly the same) then they can copy other partilces from one of the quantums to the other however this destories the orignal, the other interesting thing is this happens instantanistaly (sp - meaning right away, no time taken) and can be done with electrons therefore you could have a Quantum Computer thats speed would be infinite, now that would produce some nice graphics!!! ------------------ iM. diSleXIc. sO. pLeaSE. tRanSlaTe.

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I read that in a magazine, though it was a few years ago and I'll never remember which one! The quantum computer (which was just an idea, a few decades short of ever being built) was supposed to use the teleportation trick to calculate simultaneously all possible results. Tricky, tricky stuff. Can you imagine what that would do to the science of ballistics? We'd be able to determine everywhere the shell could go before firing it...

Guest Rogue 9 Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 that sounds like something out of Popular Science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AceAzzameen Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Well, ok Jabba, then the show you watched is getting its info the same place Michael Crichton did. Because all the things you mention are in the book. There's actually a thread about it here somewhere, I think, from way back when a few of us were reading it... ------------------ "With the blast shield down, I can't even see.

Guest Redwing Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 In Popular Science they documented an experiment in which scientists actually slowed down light.
