China Shatters “Spooky Action at a Distance” Record, Preps for Quantum Internet
Results from the Micius satellite test quantum entanglement, pointing the way toward hack-proof global communications—and a new space race

https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ntum-internet/

In a landmark study, a team of Chinese scientists using an experimental satellite has tested quantum entanglement over unprecedented distances, beaming entangled pairs of photons to three ground stations across China—each separated by more than 1,000 kilometers. The test verifies a mysterious and long-held tenet of quantum theory, and firmly establishes China as the frontrunner in a burgeoning “quantum space race” to create a secure, quantum-based global communications network—that is, a potentially unhackable “quantum internet” that would be of immense geopolitical importance. The findings were published Thursday in Science.

The most interesting thing about this is that the Chinese published it in Science.

They have an inside track with our scientists only posting studies in "dark ages" journal

That's good shit.

Excellent second career, post-competition, for elite athletes; time to invest in the upper end, quality poop market?

Actually, I've heard that you can make surprisingly good money as a fecal donor. It's normally hard to qualify but these guys' shit could be a veritable gold mine.

...time to invest in the upper end, quality poop market?

I'm calling my high-end performance-based store "Brown Gold".

I think the artisinal poop market futures look pretty good, so I'm also opening a place called "Shartisinal" to corner the millennials who have their shit all wrong.

Scientists teleport photons 300 miles into space

Star Trek tech is still way off but successful test of quantum entanglement at Earth-space distance boosts hope for building an unhackable quantum internet....

Before the envirotards get their panties in a bunch, I'm not advocating for or against climate change based on this article and video, just thought the theory put forth and video was cool.

While it's nice to be protected from the sun's occasional temper tantrums, you do understand the difference between reflecting energy back out into pace where it came from and reflecting it back down to the surface where it came from, right??

Look to the sky tonight. Northern lights forecast for a good chunk of the lower 48.

I was following this closely but the storm peaked during the daylight hours yesterday. By the time dark came last night the show was pretty much done.

Largest study of CTE in former football players to date has been published. Results are not good if you played past high school.

Researchers at The Ohio State University develop groundbreaking cell regeneration technology. Read a few articles on this. Unreal. Huge potential.

its expensive but I am sure the government will buy it
