Anyone know where I can find more info on Quantum teleportation? I heard on TV that they've managed to teleport light from one location to another. Any links on this? I want to read more about how it works and what are its limitations. I heard on TV that Quantum Teleportation is probably not possible for humans but it can work for computing and communication technology. Another question I have is would Quantum teleportation remove the limits of radio technology? Will we be able send information free of signal loss? That would be a huge break through in communications and computer processing efficiency (and make processors produce practically NO HEAT).

By any chance, are there any quantum physicists in here? :wink:

sorry i dunno antying about telportation.

i do know how a Standard Starfleet transporter system functions though.

Yes, I know this is far out but maybe in a couple of decades we'll all have quantum teleporters in our cell phones and computers.

There are some minute "fake" things they add to Star Trek (such as the sounds outside the ship in space, space has no atmosphere so you cannot hear any sounds), but generally it does represent some possible technologies that may appear in the future.

Actually, warp technology folds space rather than physically moving through space faster than light. In theory, moving faster than light speed through "conventional" means would send the ship back through time, so new theories such as warp, are being considered. Any one have links to warping space?

Of course this isn't going to happen in the real world any time soon but with theories, you're allowed to think far out, as long as you have some research to back it up.

First of all, I suppose teleportation might be possible one day, but right now we don't even understand the geometry of space. If you consider small distances euclidean geometry stands true and simple laws like the inverse square law of light work. However, if you consider cosmological distances it fails ever so slightly. The geometry seems to be that of a sphere or something of that nature so if you look at something close you might see an angle of parallax and as it moves away that angle of parallax will get smaller (as pera any 101 astro class). However if you move even farther away you can prove that the angle will start to get larger again. Grab a globe and try this yourself. If you pick the north pole as earch and pick something between the equator and yourself you get one angle. Draw a line on the globe or put a peice of tape on it. Then observe the angle as you get farther away. The angle gets smaller until you reach the equator. Once you go past the equator and into the southern hemisphere the angle will start to increase again.

Hey man! Now's our chance for a thread like this.

Quantum teleportation would probably be of the sort of phenomena known as QM tunnelling. I'm too lazy to type it all up now, but do a google search and you'll find some neat things about quantum mechanical tunnelling.

Then there's the whole "entangled pair" phenomena. Very cool stuff, but unfortuneately, I don't know too much about it.

Interesting, but I doubt we will ever truly know the shape of the universe. The problem is that we're not getting the whole picture. The farther we look, the more distorted our picture of the universe gets. Remember we're not seeing the universe as it is today, but we are seeing the past. When the hubble space telescope looks at an image of a distant galaxy, it's millions of light years away. What that means is that we're looking at that galaxy as it was millions of years ago. That might easily explain why we're not finding any planets similar to earth. It's because we're looking into the past before such plants existed. Until we can find a way to image Space faster than the speed of light, we will never truly know how the universe looks until we can actually develop propulsion to get us there. Even in Star Trek, they don't have the means to travel millions of light years. In fact, in Star Trek: Voyager, Voyager was stuck in the Delta Quadrant, 70 000 light years from earth, and even with warp drive, it would take them a life time to get home. Of course, I doubt we truly know the limitations of a theoretical warp drive.

Yes, and just our galaxy is bigger than that (100,000 ly). In Star Trek they apparently haven't even left the galaxy.

The human mind can't even comprehend the depth of our galaxy let alone the universe so it's very hard to try to develop and understand these ideas.

LOL When I took quantum my prof blew over Quantum Tunneling in one lecture and he didn't put anything on any of the tests. He wasn't very fond of the idea I guess.

Well, I dissagree with the "planets may not be formed yet because it is millons of light years away, hence millions of years older than what we see idea" Wy?
Well the principle is absolutly true but the methode is wrong. It is not necessary to look millions or even thousands of light years in space to look for planets! Without being certain of this , I would say in a radius of 500 light years there could be 100 or more star sys. Some may well have planets. The problem is a star is just by nature much easier to optically detect than a non luminous celestial body as a planet.

That's very true. It has to do with what we can see and detect. If you want to look back 9 billion years there surely exist planets, but they are long gone now. The same will be true for us one day.

If you look back too far you might run into the universe when it was just an ionized gas. There then was a period in which not much really is known, a short void, and finally the time we know today in which galaxies, star sytems, and planets exist.

I think if someone could come up with a quantum manifold pre-processor to compensate for the heisenberg uncertainty doohicky, then run the output through the inverse duotronic transducers...
