In physics, teleportation means creating a replica of an object,...

Replica? What about relocating the original from one place to another?

Sorry, New York Times here. I'd have more faith in an "Enquirer" article on the genetic similarities between Hillary and Bat-boy.

I'll check for other references, though and post them if I find them. NYT just doesn't cut it on credibility anymore.

DOH! Several references...

Financial Times

Indy Star

Still, it's probably for the best I don't take anything straight from the NYT anymore.

Now if we can just get that transporter to Brasil working...work all day, Samba all night...

As far as I can see, it's not going to happen."

He is in the same league as teh "scientists" who claimed that the sound barrier could never be broken.

Scientists Teleport Not Kirk, but an Atom

Sigh, the phenomenon of entanglement is not teleportation.
