what'll be cool, will be when you can order stuff from the internet and have it teleported directly to your house. No more waiting for the mail to bring it.

Get your bearings together... teleportation is EONS away from any practical usage, and even then I very much doubt it will be possible to beam people and stuff like in ST.

I actually did quite a lot of resaerch into this (and other ST technologies), and I can tell you this....

I VERY, VERY much doubt it....

Gah, I can't do it.  Sorry TrashMan.

Any research into "Star Trek Science" is a complete waste of time.  You'll learn more useful information by reading an 11th grade Physics textbook, and you won't have to contend with factual stretches at all.

Nifty.  I don't think we'll see quantum computers on our desktop anywhere close to within our lifetimes as most scientists I see interviewed about that kind of stuff seem to think we've hit the limit as to how small we can make technology of that sophistication.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Likely not going to be teleporting Starbucks coffee to your kitchen table but as the articles coming out mention, this may provide for a very fast method of quantum computing and rediculously fast computers in the future.

yeah  the application's most likely going to be more technological, and not as much noticeable.

No offense, but that's bull. Not just ST specifically, but sci-fi in general is responsible for the original ideas that lead to numerous scientific breakthroughs. Don't diss sci-fi - it's more accurate than you may think (although the timing is generally way off :p).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Duh... I have consulted physics books and several renowned physics professors, of whom one of them is actually leading the antimatter project at CERN...
I was researching the plausability of ST science...:ick:

And NO...people will not be a ble to teleport...sorry kiddies!:D

just as well. with quantum teleportation, you don't actually go anywhere. a copy of you is made, and the original is killed.
