So doesn't anybody care about the cat?

No. But stuff like this, from the article, gives me a brain-ache: "Understanding how some of the characteristics of a particle can become entangled through relative motion alone when they seemed to be unentangled or unconnected when at rest could have many applications."

[VadeRetro]

Another possible application of entanglement is quantum teleportation: the ability to transfer the precise quantum state of one microscopic object to another, while using only traditional communications, such as a phone line. This technique, which has been demonstrated experimentally, requires that the sender and receiver share pairs of entangled particles.

It also requires that each particle have a touch-tone phone.

Good thing the Intelligent Designer installed the same operating system in all particles.

News reporters seem to like to hang around certain departments in certain insittutions. Wouldn't it be amazing to find a wall of cameras and microphones waiting outside the office when you are trying to go to lunch asking if you have decided whether to use rotation operators exclusively rather than general symmetry operators?

[kjam22]

Yeah... if these guys are so smart let em figure out how to make a durable heatshield for the shuttle.... and how to bring it back into the atmosphere at less than 34572394789 miles per hour. :)

[visualops]

Excellent!

[skinkinthegrass]

..at less than 34572394789 miles per hour = 51.55*c ?

[Bogey78O]

Will the ansible be far behind?

[robertpaulsen]

According to my calculations, that's almost Warp Factor 4.

KEWL!...Thanks...... :)
