Australian teleport breakthrough

news.bbc.co.uk...

It is a long way from Star Trek, but teleportation - the disembodiment of an object in one location and its reconstruction in another - has been successfully carried out in a physics lab in Australia. Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) made a beam of light disappear in one place and reappear in another a short distance away. The achievement confirms that in theory teleportation is possible, at least for sub-atomic particles; whether it can be done for larger systems, such as atoms, remains to be seen. The more likely applications will come in telecommunications, enabling much faster transfer of data and the use of encryption that can never be broken. Will we ever be able to teleport humans? Teleportation has been one of the hottest topics among physicists working in quantum mechanics - the study of the fundamental structure of matter. Some 40 labs around the world are currently trying to teleport a laser beam after pioneering work in 1998 at the California Institute of Technology showed it should be possible

Don't know if this one ever made it to the board...probably somewhere though..

seeing the tractor beam thread made me think of this one

I haven't seen this one yet, but I have seen all the others.
Unfortunately for these scientists I'm an impatient human that really doesn't care any longer that they can send info a "short distance" away.

Someone should tell them to com back to me when they transfer data around the world, that's the ticket.
Then impress me with physical teleportation of I don't know lets say a small frog or a virus even.
Until then I'm about as impressed with their breakthroughs as I am with NASA.

Also I might add that I hate the way the media always relates quantum teleportation to star trek. They really have absolutely nothing in common.

The Chinese beat them to it earlier this morning...

This is the same thread is it not that was on ATS a few months ago?
There was another one that talked about sending "info" 10 miles away. I thought this was the same one. though I didnt know it was the Chinese.

teleport breakthrough

Why do we keep having this "amazing breakthrough" every couple months for the entire past decade? This was first done 13 years ago.

This is NOT news, but it seems like we can't go six months without some journalist proudly proclaiming how new and original it is.

Don't know if this one ever made it to the board

Yes, in fact there are seven pages worth of people announcing this "exciting new breakthrough.

Sorry, guess i should have did a better search on the subject...here on ATS...

Thanks for sharing this, i hadn't seen this one...

Maybe the media is really as clueless as they seem to be and it isnt just a conspiracy.
I'm honestly tired of and bored with the science of BS teleportation.

I think after 10+ years of wasting time and money we should have accomplished a little more.

Yeah i makes you wonder if some Black ops Program has picked it up and made greater strides

i wouldn't be surprised

reply to post by tspark


Exactly, moreover it may even become suppressed technology like so many other great inventions that never see the light of day.

After all why make this world a better place when most of the "CONSUMERS" in the world are happy living in a stagnate society.

Sad really.

Not in so many words but .....it's about time the Philadelphia Experiment is getting public recognition! It's been what....?.....almost 70 years?

Just know, science is about 50-100 (probably more) years ahead, technologically, than what they admit to. And when the secrets slip out they just shroud, file and disguise it under the 'conspiracy' veil!

Yes folks, the truth is seriously stranger than fiction!

Hey...you know whats really really sad?

That sooooooo many people out there are so willing to accept fiction over facts.
What I mean by that is that often times like you said truth is far stranger than fiction.
Sometimes often in fact, a conspiracy theory or a "KOOKY" idea is actually the truth.
Its really too bad people cant own up to reality sometimes. Where this teleportation is concerned I really think it will be withheld fro the public for some time if not already.

True true.

The sad fact is, people are trained not to be free thinkers almost from conception!

From the moment they're born they learn to listen to and obey others.

So they go to school believing what they're taught is gospel. Some get involved in religions. Again, trusting someone else is telling the truth. Then they grew up taking orders from the authority, scientists and celebrities. The 'training' cycle never ceases.

So if anyone of us decides to think outside the proverbial box and questions authority (or 'official stories') then, we're deemed wackos.,

Personally, I'm more comfortable being the minority free-thinking wacko than the majority herd-mentality sheeple.

Thought i read about this a long while back?

Wasn't this on here about a year ago, or is this another breakthrough?

I'll have a search.

reply to post by Human_Alien


Well where all this technology is concerned my only question is what purpose does it serve to suppress, I mean to what end?
I know it is off topic of the thread, Just curious that's all.

reply to post by snowen20


Perhaps there's not one Carte Blanch answer to that.

Maybe they're saving it for a rainy day? Maybe they're saving it to use against the enemy? Maybe they're suppressing it because if we knew the technology they possess then we'd know they've had contact with off-world entities?
Maybe they're suppressing it for their own underground survival and existence?
Maybe they have a treaty with another species and perhaps they have the equivelant of NAFTA program with 'em?

Who knows. All I know is I don't trust nor believe any agency that controls this world.

Asked and answered already in this thread. This has done the rounds on many an occasion here on ATS.
Thought it might be a new, new breakthrough for a while..ah well.

Think of all that lovely oil revenue that would be lost if people didn't need to drive cars, or fly in jets.

Space travel would be wide open too. Planet Mars, would be a blink of an eye away, so would every other planet in our system.

The military implications are staggering too, teleport an army right into enemy HQ. Or a bomb for that matter.

Oh yes, there's plenty of reasons to suppress human teleportation breakthroughs.

BBC News has raised irresponsible reporting to a new level. The article cited in the OP bears no resemblance to other articles on the same topic. Most of them refer to the experiment as a "tractor beam". They managed to move tiny particles thru a hollow tube of laser light very rapidly, but far below the speed of light. Here's a more accurate report: Tractor Beam Team Transfers Particles With Laser 'Pipeline'

There is a current ATS thread on the topic: Tractor Beams becoming a reality..

Mine was about a teleport technology ....not the tractor beam technology....
