the hokey pokey.. what if that really IS what it's all about ??

so here we are, all pondering life's great mysteries.. if you ask me, our existence on this rock is merely a blink of an eye.. whether it be our individual existence, or 'mankind' in general.. amazing we've come so far. And all the things "WE'RE" going to miss.. like teleportation..

Quantum information teleported from light to matter

LONDON (Reuters) - Beaming people in Star Trek fashion is still in the realms of science fiction but physicists in Denmark have teleported information from light to matter bringing quantum communication and computing closer to reality.

Until now scientists have teleported similar objects such as light or single atoms over short distances from one spot to another in a split second.

But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.

"It is one step further because for the first time it involves teleportation between light and matter, two different objects. One is the carrier of information and the other one is the storage medium," Polzik explained in an interview on Wednesday.
