OLD News

Okay, so…

Every now and again, we see news articles about scientists having developed technology that could lead to teleportation, or (more likely) instant communication. It involves paired particles that, regardless of the distance between them, react in exactly the same way if one of the pair is subject to an outside force.

Can someone give me a more detailed description and explanation of this process, and the theory behind it? More importantly, it needs to be an explanation that’s at least mostly comprehensible by a layman who’s barely qualified to take a high school physics class. 😳

Again, as explained to somebody woefully ignorant of any actual, y’know, science…

What are the real-world scientific underpinnings (weak and unrealistic as they might be) behind the general science-fiction conception of hyperspace/subspace?

So I don’t know if I’d be any less of a geek without Star Trek, but I’d certainly be a different geek.

Thanks, guys. Happy 45th. Live even longer and prosper-er. Or something like that.

Is it horribly egotistical of me to be so psyched that I actually have a page on Wikipedia now?

It’s not very comprehensive, but it’s there.

(And no, I didn’t write it myself. 😛 )

I wanted to offer my congrats to all the 2011 Hugo Award Winners–but most specifically to Lou Anders of Pyr Books, easily one of the top three editors I’ve worked with to date. 😀

Great job, Lou.

(So do we all get raises, now?) 😉
