Quantum Teleportation Is a Reality
PC World ^ | April 16, 2011 | James Mulroy

Beam me up, Scotty; scientists have finally done it! Using what looks like an incredibly complicated setup, scientists have not just figured out how to transport information using the quantum highway; they have actually made it happen.

>

To do this, the researchers developed a "broadband, zero-dispersion teleportation apparatus" and a whole new set of "hybrid protocols involving discrete- and continuous-variable techniques in quantum information processing for optical sciences," along with some other things that I completely do not understand. In the end, the researchers managed to 'remove' the quantum information from space, and it was resurrected in another place.

>

Elanor Huntington, a professor at the University of New South Wales who participated in the study, says that "one of the limitations of high-speed quantum communication at present is that some detail is lost during the teleportation process. It's the Star Trek equivalent of beaming the crew down to a planet and having their organs disappear or materialise in the wrong place. We're talking about information but the principle is the same--it allows us to guarantee the integrity of transmission."

Is she saying that not only will we be able to transport information on a global scale almost instantly but that we might also be able to transport objects? It sure sounds like it.

It's a reality. Wait, no it isn't. Oh, there it is again. Nope, gone. Wait...

And yet ... if you read the Bible account of Jesus dematerializing and rematerializing, it can be done! ... And yes, God uses technology to accomplish His miracles, because without time events do not occur and without space things do not exist. All stuff requires a where/when to exist in our universe or any parallel realms. [HINT: fifth chapter of Daniel, the hand writing on the wall]

I 100% disagree, if God need physical machines then he could be defeated, or destroyed or thwarted. And I don't believe that for one second.

I posted this yesterday. It didn't appear because you thought about it.

I posted this before you posted the article.
