16 November 1998 From: Ross Little The Old Police House, Main Rd, Filby, Gt Yarmouth, NR29 3HY Dear Gus, On a different subject, reading the comments about the reliability of the mag, but not wanting to be nitpicky or awkward, I do agree it would be nice to have a proof reader, were that possible. It is a shame when such good work goes to waste. And the teleporting data thing. I heard about that too, a fair while ago. The crucial difference is that radio waves (and therefore data or information) travel at around the speed of light. This means that data can never be teleported from one place to another instantaneously through radio. However, quantum theory suggests that some particles, for short periods of time, can break the light barrier (which is, theoretically, the fastest speed attainable in the Universe). This is due to the random nature of sub-atomic particles: basically, they won't always obey the laws of physics (everything goes crazy when you go down there). So, if you could harness these particles, which are travelling faster than the speed of light and therefore BACKWARDS in time, you could, theoretically, use them to carry information. Now, the backwards bit is mainly a theoretical point. If some information is transmitted and travels backwards in time it can reach the receiver at the SAME TIME as when it was transmitted. It could, also, be received before it was transmitted, so long as the receiver was there at that time. That's the theory. And it has, supposedly, been achieved. I think it was part of the 1812 Overture which was supposed to have been transmitted, and received (rather noisily), at the same time in the lab. But it was suggested that music did not constitute information and therefore it was a misleading experiment. I don't quite understand how music is anything other than data or information, but I am more concerned with whether the claims are reliable or even a hoax. But big things are possible. The same thing can be done, theoretically, with matter itself, of course, but these are only individual particles and for a human, or anything on our scale, to be transmitted it would have to be seperated particle by particle and then reconsituted. I find it difficult to believe this could be achieved. Even if it could, it could not be used to go further back than the time it ws invented, but instant teleportation of humans would be possible. Incidentally, if you're the kind of person who believes those kinds of things must have been done by someone, do some reading on the Philadelphia Experiment of 1941. It sounds spurious to me but it was supposed to have the same secrecy rating as the nuclear bomb - and how fictional would that have sounded at the time? The other thing which quantum theory allows for is the idea of twinned particles. These are particles which are created together (I think) and will therefore remain intertwined for as long as they exist. Then, when they are seperated (even to the other side of the universe) one particle will be affected by changes on the other. So, if I store my data in some kind of binary code (like on a computer) I can then manipulate each particle in my box of particles to represent this data. Te other particles, however distant, will then change in EXACTLY the same way and the information can be read. We then have instant data transmission which could never be intercepted because they are the only linked transmitter/receivers in the entire universe! That sounds a little more practical then the experiment above so we'll see what happens in a few decades time. Perhaps the instant 'sub-space' communications of sci-fi will be with us. Enough of my drivel. Yours sincerely, Ross Little As I've said before, proof reading is a bit like quantium theory, good idea but in practice..
