Assuredly, we must all hang together, or assuredly, we shall all hang separately.
At the moment it's experimental, so no.
And just to be clear, this cannot be used to move information faster than the speed of light, ever.
In theory it might have application as a sort of tamper-evident seal for digital encryption.
You must think I'm a joke
I ain't gonna be part of your system
Man!
Pump that garbage in another man's veins!
In the November study, the researchers successfully “beamed” polarization between a photon pair, and they could do this because the particles were entangled.
Equating quantum (information) teleportation with physical teleportation of objects really just reveals that the author has no idea what they're talking about.
I am you and you are me.
Second, that reincarnation frameworks usually also include a structure where it's not random what you reincarnate as next time around. Karma doesn't usually boot people back down to bacterium right after human. It's usually more of a leveling up in order to experience deeper and more meaningful lifetimes. But YMMV.
That sounds extraordinarily arbitrary. Who decides what counts as a "level up"? Does that mean if you start as a bacteria you're stuck like that for a few thousand or million cycles? How would you earn enough karma points to level up from being a bacteria? What counts as "deeper and more meaningful lifetimes" if you are a bacteria?
A well-reasoned and thoughtful response, with a clear demonstration of an experienced writer's capacity for nuance.
*Edit: sarcasm aside, my point is that the comic should be interpreted as an indictment of a socioeconomic system which forces people into situations where they must burn themselves up in order to survive. It should not be interpreted as an indictment of Margaret's life choices. Margaret is doing her best in a world that has not provided her the opportunity to really flourish as an individual. To judge Margaret for this is at best narrow minded.
This is an expression of privilege.
Beatrice comes from a background where she has access to affordable housing that doesn't require her to work a high-income high-effort career or multiple jobs just to pay rent. She has a stable enough life that provides time to spend on personal hobbies rather than constantly working to cover expenses. Beatrice's lifestyle is being subsidized by someone else. Beatrice does not have to work for a living.
Margaret is providing for herself, at the cost of luxury time. Her housing situation is less stable, and she's aware of it, and feels trapped by the cost of it, which is her personal life and free time. Margaret has to work for a living.
Beatrice is privileged, and is judging Margaret's life from her own place of privilege. Margaret is realizing that no matter how hard she works, she will never gain access to Beatrice's level of privileged lifestyle, and that is crushing her soul.
+1 for Torque, pay once and it does exactly what it's supposed to do and doesn't bother you with anything else.
