you got me on that one more research needed on my behalf

hat off to you.

I cannot articulate how significant this discover is. Breathtaking and such a new feet for humanity. Very vital for the development of a permanent manned base on the moon, NASA should pay attention to the construction of this technology.

Great thread

We can already transmit power to moon bases from the earth using laser beams.

It is like having a wire hooked up to the moon, but instead of transmitting electricity directly; we convert the energy to a laser for transmission and reconvert it back to electrical energy once it is received on the moon.

We also have solar powered sodium lasers.... so we can use non-photovoltaic means to collect the sun's energy and to activate sodium lasers, which we then fire at the moon where we reclaim the energy from the lasers using photovoltaic cells.

The project that tested these concepts is known as SELENE.

Lasers can also be used to extend the lifespans of dying satellites - there orbit can even be restored in some cases... .

A quantum entanglement-based communications system would be great for real-time communications with space missions.

We would be able to control our mars probes and receive data as it was collected without the delay.

They could theoretically teleport matter, but what about thoughts, memories, etc. What if the first person to try this comes out the other end a complete vegetable and would be dead in minutes because his brain doesnt know how to breathe.

Please god that this works!!

I want to be in the Maldives within a minute.

Come on the Aussies!

Well if this actually teleported in the future there will be a whole lot of Doctors out of jobs, why?

In order to do it you would need every cell mapped out ect. obviously, however you could at the same time use it to give yourself plastic surgery or even completely change your identity including finger prints although not sure you could change your blood type. Possible DNA manipulation?

Then there is always going to be the "Hey this use to be an apple but I needed an orange so I changed it's molecular make up while teleporting it!"

Then those of us saying, "It causes cancer stop it it's bad for you!" Grocery stores labeling food as "Teleport free"

On second thought lets just scrap the teleporting of organic objects and living organisms it would mess things way up in the end. Data I'm good with.

Not to mention you really wouldn't know if the person you are married to or dating every really was a guy/girl sense the DNA is changed itself, in my scenario.

Heck you could modify any virus to be more resistant by just programing it into the teleporter. No manual labor needed the computer/teleporter does the work for you.

Want your lawn mowed or hair cut? Just teleport an inch of it into a bag.

I wouldn't suggest trying to change your tires with it though might do more damage than it's worth.

Oh no more engine mechanics either cracked piston? Just teleport it in place causing it to repair itself.

Man I could go on but just a little worried about a few of the implications of a real teleporter.

What i believe is the most important answer to this tech is :

Yes you will be able to play an MMO with out crazy lag!

Im sorry,just had to put that out there.

Meanwhile,back at the entanglement fortress of solitude.......

I wonder how long it will be before ASIO will magically teleport this project to the black vaults

Are you sure that is not a mistype as in...

"Australian scientists have just worked out the mystery of transportation?"

...They've just figured out why Britain kept transporting all its criminals out to Australia in the 19th Century?

I traveled to Aussie in a ambassador program in 2005, it was a great place with highly intelligent and genuinely nice people. It doe not surprise me that they would come up with something like this.
