Either this is a world changing discovery that breaks everything that I'm hearing about only in.. checks.. the BBC Science Magazine
Or.. it's complete wank clickbait nonsense
OH WHICH IS IT GOING TO BE?!
The second one, of course:
(enphasis mine)
So, yeah, we didn't break any laws of physics.
Oh so this is teleportation?
It's not teleportation, it's clickbait nonsense
But it says it's teleportation. Are you calling them a liar?
Well... I think the idea is once you can reliably send a photon, you can start sending entangled photos. Then you can use those to build networking hardware that transmits bits instantly.
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to transmit bits "instantly" i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can't transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we'd be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.
Quantum mechanics do "bypass" the speed of light from my understanding.
It's not that you're moving anything or actually bypass the speed of light. You just have basically a value that's "entangled" so when it's changed in one place it's instantly changed in the other; it's really freaky.
