General / Off-Topic First Object Teleported to Earth's Orbit

This sounds more like a way in which to have instant communication over vast distances than "teleportation" as we know it like in Star Trek...

Perhaps this is the way of future communications?

that is so cool, maybe the thargoids could do it as a cool nod to the real world

That's nothing I had a faulty toaster once, subsequently the Uk have successfully launched two slices of toast into a geo-stationary orbit. Those two slices are always above my house.

What a terribly misleading title. The long range quantum entanglement is a really neat trick though. It's too bad this won't allow us to eliminate lag however.

Not instant. That would break relativity.

It`s nice to see that entanglement can now be repeatedly experimentally tested over "large" (still just our orbit) distances

It's only a matter of time before we have an ansible for Galactic communication

This is quantum psychic and not relativity. (just saying.)

Did you read the article?

Whatever you say Quantum entanglement is a proven phenomenon.

Well I didn't refute that at all.

What I am saying(or rather the article) is you cannot transport information(or anything) FTL.

Yes.... The article, but despite what the article saying it does possible. Otherwise for example we can't have quantum computers. But we already have some working prototypes.

Also, you right about one thing Theory of relativity, and Quantum psychic are contradicting to each others, and yet both are proven true, beyond doubt. The resolution of this problematics is simple. Quantum psychic are only working on the world of atoms and below that, while theory of relativity are talking about the macro cosmos, and problematics of lightspeed. To put it simple they are dealing with different levels our reality.
