science boner time!

And so Gordon Freeman was born.

i would really like to know/understand how this stuff works ... how do they tell a photon "where" to teleport to ? does the universe have an x y z coordinate system ? i think not !

Maybe they found a way to convert the universe's coordinate system into X Y Z?

The teleportation device looks like a fucking mess imo. How do they intend to convince people inside that machine? I wouldn't enter it for less than 20 billion dollars o__O

They probably don't use a coordinate system, but rather use velocity measurements.

I bet you the actual event is far less... "stellar" than the article makes it out to be.

and badass decryptation, due to the obnoxious speed it possesses for brute-force type problem solving.

Very interesting read.

And as for the "where" question, the two points have to be quantum-ly "linked" - I won't pretend to understand it, but let's just say it first requires the creation of a quantum pair(through some insane scientific hoobaleydoo), and manipulating one results in the other one changing state.

And that rail gun is insane. For us on the imperial system of measurement, 1600m/s is equivalent to a mile a second. a MILE in a SECOND.
