You are correct.

But data can also be teleported. And while it is not tangible, it does exist.

Instantaneous transport of data across space is a big step.

Quantum entanglement has been known of for quite some time now, I am glad that its potential for communication is being explored publicly.

I would like to see this sort of experiment done with the transmission of data across large distances.

We can already transmit data into the past - before it hes been sent.
Here is how it works:

"Let's say that Alice on a space station sends a signal to Bob, who is on a distant space ship. Let's call Alice's frame of reference S, and Bob's frame of reference S'. If Bob's space ship is traveling away from Alice at a significant portion of the speed of light, then in S' event B can happen before event A, so according to Bob, the signal is received before it's sent, just as we said could be the case. More importantly, by choosing Bob's speed fast enough, we can make B occur as long before A as we want. Since, according to the principle of relativity, the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference, Bob should be able to use the same technique Alice did to send a superluminal signal back to Alice, and he can make it have the same speed according to S' that Alice's signal had according to S.

Ok, so here's the trick, if we make sure Bob is going really fast, then he can receive the signal long before it's sent, so when Bob sends his superluminal signal back to Alice it will arrive back at Alice's space station (event C) before Alice ever sent her signal in the first place (event A). What's more, since events A and C both happen at Alice's position, and Alice is moving at less than the speed of light (by assumption), then A and C have a timelike separation. This means that if C happens before A in frame S', then C happens before A in every frame of reference. Put another way, C is inside the past light cone of A, which will be true in every frame of reference. So as long as she has a fast enough moving relay station, like Bob's space ship, Alice can send messages into her own past. "

*We already have the technology that reflects an incoming signal in just one direction, always - no matter what... And it is also old technology. This would make sure that the beam always went to the right place in the past.

what's more: the efficiency of this technology has been increased by over four (possible five) orders of magnitude over the past 28 years.

We are just sick of having to walk to the fridge to get our beer... so Australia has been leading the race to develop teleportation technology.

Think of all the great uses!

Then imagine how to get to a place anywhere in the world its exact details. It can take you there. But the exercise has to be learnt and it can take over a year.
It is actually based on the energy part. You have to remember every minute detail of yourself and the place you want to go.
I did not describe what the ringing cedars book said it exactly so do not attempt to do it on your own.

Very intresting i have never heard of this, i will do some research and hopefully find a guide to post here without having to read the entire book

I will try and find the chapter and scan it and put it on scribd so you can read it online.

While they are currently able to teleport light waves, the issue of teleporting molecules is another matter (pun intended). While I am not very learned in Chemistry or Physics, I would be willing to bet that the teleportation of matter is a much more complex task than that of light waves.

I was speaking to a friend about the possibility of teleportation becoming a reality in our lifetime. My friend raised some interesting issues that would arise if teleportion one day became the norm. Millions of people in the car industry, public transport, private transport, aeroplane, concorde industry etc. would all be out of work. Also, this would be one step closer to time travel, which if achieved could lead to all sorts of problems.

Overall though, glad to see such an advancement in technology and hopefully these Aussies can raise the bar in the technology industry.

Great find Cygnus Hunter!

This is very interesting news. Can't wait to see how this develops.
