Over the past 15 years, astronomers have identified more than 200 planets outside our solar system, but the new ones identified by the Hubble are at least 10 times as far from Earth. That planets can be found at the center of the galaxy, as well as near our solar system, has...http://birdonthemoon.com/Archives/2006/10/index.html#010723 First Teleportation Between Light and Matter- October 9, 2006 At long last researchers have teleported the information stored in a beam of light into a cloud of atoms, which is about as close to getting beamed up by Scotty as we're likely to come in the foreseeable future. More practically, the demonstration is key to eventually harnessing quantum effects for hyperpowerful computing or ultrasecure encryption systems. Quantum computers or cryptography networks would take advantage of entanglement, in which two distant particles share a complementary...http://birdonthemoon.com/Archives/2006/10/index.html#010722 My life in random, internet comic- October 8, 2006 Bogged with school, et cetera.
