Pyrotex Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Teleporters? Faster than Light travel? Qubits? Entangled particles? Ha Ha Ha! Don't go laughing too quickly. On Father's Day evening, my wife and I went out for a special dinner at Zeo's, here in Houston. I ordered a bottle of 1997 Teleporter. It was wonderful, even though a tad drier than I ordinarily like. The odd thing about it was, that at the instant the cork was popped, the wine disappeared from the bottle, and appeared in our glasses. No ****. In fact, the wine was in our glasses a fraction of a second BEFORE it left the bottle--a kind of superposition of vino states. I picked up my glass and swirled it gently--and noticed that the wine in my wife's glass was also swirling in the same direction. Entangled grapes? Anyway, we had a good time, and I highly recommend picking up a bottle or two of Teleporter the next time you're at Speck's Liquor. Jay-qu 1 Quote
Qfwfq Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 :confused: the wine in my wife's glass was also swirling in the same direction. Entangled grapes?But to be a singlet state, it would have been spinning in the opposite direction!!!!! Quote
TheBigDog Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 :confused: But to be a singlet state, it would have been spinning in the opposite direction!!!!!Don't forget that because his wife was sitting opposite him, in the opposite direction, the swirling was opposite relative to her. I would also bet that they only needed to pour the wine into one glass to fill both. Bill Quote
TheFaithfulStone Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 The best part about the whole thing is you're only drunk if someone OBSERVES you acting like an ***. "Were you driving under the influence sir?" "Well, I wasn't..." TFS Jay-qu 1 Quote

LOL, doubtless you ordered another bottle then went home and got down to the singlets and whole load more entanglement, ha ha ha. Quote

New-ideas Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Thats a stupid idea, if you travelled faster than light, time would cease to exist, which undermines all the relativity theories, seems stupid 2 me ;) Quote

You would cease to experience the passage of time while traveling faster than light. When you decelerated you would experience time again. And it calls into question the need for the concept of time when contemplating instantaneous events, like the reaction time between entangled particles. Bill Quote
