Oh yes, it says this team did it once before and people have done it since 1997. I missed that the first time I read through it :-/. I suppose I just skimmed it incorrectly.

I read about it in a book once, there's an issue with maintianing the quantum entanglement over long distances. I think it's something to do with preventing the wavefunction from collapsing. I don't know, I'm not a physicist and I read this some time ago. The team in Hungary managed to do it over the Danube, so this is a consderable improvement I'm guessing.

It's also worth mentioning that when an American soldier is issued an M4 it costs what, $4000? When a Russian soldier is given his AK-12 it'll cost just $50. The AK-12 is comparable if not superior to the M4. The Russians in this example get to spend 1/80th as much money to effectively achieve the same results. The additional funds needed by the US military aren't even considered a part of the 20-25% budgetary waste that occurs. Again, considering the sizable budget of the US military they really aren't doing anything impressive. Couple that with the fact that the Russians are telling bold faced lies about their own military budget (they claim to only be spending $70 billion annually yet they just completed a $46 billion dollar missile system and approved an additional $200 billion modernization project that will run parallel with at least one other such project) and you get an idea of the type of conflict we're facing. It's as if somebody is levelling the playing field as to assure mutual destruction.

Edit: I don't even need to get into what the Chinese are accomplishing at a fraction of the cost.

2nd Edit: The latest military modernization project in Russia totals approximately $650 billion, which is not adjusted for purchasing power parity. This project will run parallel to the aforementioned $200 billion (also not adjusted for PPP).

Its more like TRILLIONS

Just google    "US GOVERNMENT CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS"

Seriously if you make a small mistake they take your home etc but they can loose 8k dollars per U.S. citizen? .....

then there is  the "2008  9trillion dollar disaster"  etc.

the  biggest factor in why the USA is going down  =  THE FEDERAL RESERVE is not a FEDERAL Bank its a private owned business that gets paid by the government  to print money for the government  plus  the FED Reserve just wants PROFIT.  How can a country hand over the whole control of the money to a private company ?!?!

Back to topic.

I would also want to know if this sort of teleportation  could clone people.  You know like in the movie  PRESTIGE.  But would it even be possible to clone my memories etc? I guess it would.

Sorry but:

A) I'm terrible at linear conversation.

B) Our species will never survive long enough to witness such technology anyway.

C) If we did, I'd never step into a teleporter because I'd be annihilated and a copy of me would be created in my place. That's just plain unacceptable. I remember that a class-mate of mine from college joked that I'd be the last person still using the shuttle craft for away missions.

Pah....

Sounds more like radio waves than anything else...Teleportation, my arse!
