Right -- I've heard of the experiments, just forgot what they were called. It's upsetting because it implies that supraluminal transfer of information is possible. There was a related article in which the conclusion was drawn that they had actually "ported" a particle from A to B without having to go through the space in between, which of course has terrible implications for Newtonian space addicts who would fall to pieces if their continuum turned out not to be so contiguous after all!

But it was only a quantum event; there's no reason to assume it could be scaled up to micro- or macro-scale. It's be pretty neat, though, and it could give a whole new meaning to the old idea of space exploration! Well, I know this is just speculation. But that's what I do best.
