I caught that punk cat and beat it’s @ss.

and how many lab dollars did THAT cost;)

It’s only “spooky” if you try to conceive of photons as classical objects. Of course, they are not. They obey Bose-Einstein statistics. Why isn’t that spooky? ( It is! ... if you think about it. )

Now, now, it keeps our betters in pin money.

The article implies, if I’m reading it correctly, that information can be passed between the entangled photons. If so, it might one day provide instantaneous communication with spacecraft. No time lag. We could drive a rover on Mars in real time.

subspace communications??? real??

These images were generated using a cat stencil and entangled photons. The really spooky part is that the photons used to generate the image never interacted with the stencil, while the photons that illuminated the stencil were never seen by the camera.

Spooky action at a distance and quantum entanglement and Schrödinger's cat!

I'll raise you one Hello Kitty!

Your childhood has been torn asunder by the Gods that once gifted you. In preparing a Hello Kitty retrospective for the Japanese American National Museum, University of Hawaii Anthropologist Christine R. Yano was given one major correction by Hello Kitty owners Sanrio (via LA Times):

“Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty.”

Indeed, after rigorously applying a variation of the “Duck test,” it all became clear: she only kind of looks like a cat, she doesn't walk like a cat, and she doesn't talk like a cat (although I can't recall her ever making a noise). She's also, according to Yano, British. Huh.

Fear not, though! We did the research, and Keroppi is still a frog.

Nifty! Thanks for posting!

I have it on good authority that it is NOT Schrodinger’s Cat! It belonged to someone else...

They are neither alive, nor dead. We don’t know.

Seriesly, this could be very important - imagine a completely undetectable radar equivalent. I would expect the military - every military - to be all over this.
