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.

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.

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

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 ;)

Time would not cease to exist. 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.
