Holy shit. I just thought teleportation was fantasy. |

No really, you are just a butterfly having a dream of being a human. |

just a small primer on quantum teleportation for the quantum mechanics nubs. Basically, what happens with quantum teleportation is that you 'entangle' two atoms (we'll start with a single atom). Entanglement basically relates the two in a quantum way...err...look it up. *cough* It is then possible to "read" the spin of the first atom and transfer it to the second, without looking at it (since looking at it could change it, as we all know). This causes the first atom to be destroyed....or at least the information of its spin destroyed. So...basically....one atom's exacty properties are exactly transferred to a second atom, thereby "destroying" the first. Teleportation? Kinda. Also, it doesn't happen instantly...it happens at the speed of light. I think. But it doesn't break any laws of relativity. It's still cool...but if you scale it up to, say, humans.... You have ox standing in a cage and a blob of random atoms sitting in a cage on Mars. You hit the "teleport" button. Ox on Earth gets reduced to just random atom mush. The teleporatation "beam" flies across the solar system. A couple minutes later, it hits Mars, and the random chunk of atoms takes on the exact atomic characteristics of what was on Earth before the button was pushed. So...does that mean he teleported? Maybe. Is the real Ox dead and the new Ox a "clone"? Does he still think? Did he ever think? Did his "soul" get transferred (assuming you believe in them, and assuming Ox still has one)? Who knows. All I know is that other people get to be teleported before I do. |

If it's an EXACT physiological copy of a human being, then it'll work just fine. Not that I'd volunteer to go first or anything. The military and its grunts will take care of that problem. "Hey, you wanna get promoted to sarge? All you have to do is sit in this chair". |

Don't make ridiculous assumptions. Ox has no soul. |

speaking of souls and selling them for beer, I picked up a 3-pack of Satan beer. Expensive. However, I'm definetely looking forward to sucking down some Satan. |

Did it make you act like a peasant...a really ugly one? Satan beer is pretty good. Not spectacular, but good. I like Judas beer better when it comes to evil-sounding beers. But nothing beats Duvel! I'm planning a trip down to the Westvleteren abbey some time btw...it's supposed to be a massive beer but I haven't had it yet (because the demand is high and the supply is low you either don't get the beer or pay for it at severely overpriced rates...which I can't afford ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westvleteren |

Aw man, all this talk of beer is making me dribble. Not that i know the differences of taste. To me its all the same, but its all good. |

Ox, maybe you haven't heard it but the system in Westvleteren has changed. Instead of waiting in line they now have a telephone order system. Don't know exactly how it works though. Has to do with the monks not having time for prayer anymore with the old system. My last Satan is from some weeks ago btw |

Hehehe...everyone loves the golden liquid that is called beer! Some for its exquisite taste, some because they wanna get pissed (Derf, and all of us occasionally ). I heard about the changes at Westvleteren J...I guess I'll be checking their site for their phonenumber or something. Thanks for reminding me though! A pic of tonight's dinner Now this is what i call a meal! I feel so....satisfied and the different elements are excellently mingling in my stomach. Ftw. |
