    omgosh that is crazy. it seems weird how news that seems so ground breaking can get what seems like barely any notice even 7 years later... almost all that is ever broadcast is stuff about charlie sheen and his godessess... lololololol .. just kidding, somewhat...

    You do realize this "breakthrough" is at least 7 years old, right? That's when that story was posted.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Yes, but Dennis - the publicity manager was checking the machine out to determine what to tell the public about it and accidentally ended up on Tralfamandor - and being a bureaucracy run project, nobody realized that we don't know about it. It's all good - a lot of people watch Dr Who and will get the drift if people keep appearing and disappearing after awhile. For now -- "the aliens did it". Shhhh.

      The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

      So it goes..

        Hmm...I know people on Earth that believe as the Tralfamadorians do, that time is an illusion and life is neverending. Now I'm going to be wondering if they're really aliens every time I see them. Just in case, I think I'll line my hat with tin foil so they can't read my mind.

    Frankly, I don't even consider that "achievement" worthy of note. I'll wait until they do something like transmit a sugar molecule. HECK, it could end world hunger! IMAGINE a product that could transfer a nutrient rich drink. Just have it keep producing copies, and viola! But I doubt it will ever get to that point.

    As for transferring a person? They would have to have it scan a person on the SUBatomic level almost instantaneously. Forget the garbage, like they portray in star trek. It would have to be much faster than the blink of an eye. There are chemicals that are being changed in the body all the time. So, does ae too slow.nyone here think they will ever do THAT? In theory, the system couldn't use electricity or light, since they are too slow.

    Watch the new movie, The Adjustment Bureau! haha it had a pretty interesting spin off of what the previews are showing,

    sort of like the teleportation and mystery of who is behind all of the Deja Vu that we all experience

    Could be God, could be the Government
