Starcraft Roomates

mgittle says...

This is like...the frat guy's idea of what would make starcraft funny...if any of you watched the Plinkett review of Star Trek, it's like they're going through the list of what people know about SC purely by osmosis.

Might as well have just been: Oh no, Scotty! You beamed up a Zerg rush instead of Spock! Now we're infested!

Lame...sorry. Collegehumor has hilarious crap sometimes, but I can't vote for this one =x

I often wonder if some of the conclusions that we come to about history, archaeology, and anthropology are way off. This tied in well with that but it sort of overdid it, and not in a way that particularly added to its entertainment value.

However, good enough for an upvote for John, Paul, George, and Scottie Pippen.

The theory: Going from here to somewhere else without passing through anywhere in between.

The science fiction: Beam me up, Scotty.

In practice: Take two particles of light and entangle them - now you can teleport quantum information - such as what their spin is - from one to the other, instantaneously.

The layman's explanation: Photons, particles of light, have a property called "spin". This can be up, down, or a mixture of the two. Alice has a photon, and she wants Bob to have one with the same spin. She can't send him hers because the Post Office is on strike, and she can't measure her spin and phone him, because the measurement can change the spin.

Fortunately, the last time she met Bob she gave him one photon from an entangled pair, and kept the other. "Entangled" means that the two photons were prepared so that their states were related in a special way. Alice lets her photon interact with her other photon from the entangled pair. This instantly teleports information about the spin to Bob's half. However, he can't "read" that information until a message arrives by more conventional means. A quick call on Alice's mobile, telling him some measurements she has made, now puts his entangled photon into the desired state.

Quantum "teleportation" destroys the original state and can't be used to send messages faster than light. It doesn't actually teleport matter - just quantum information.

Coming to a store near you?: In 1998, the quantum optics group at Caltech used "squeezed light" to teleport the state of a photon in a laboratory. It's now been done with atoms, too. In 2004 Austrian physicists teleported the state of a photon across the Danube river. Within another century it will be an amoeba. But be warned: when you are teleported, your body will be ripped to shreds and rebuilt at the other end.
