...million followers in the Philippines, who believe he is a reincarnation of Jesus Christ. AUSTRALIA Just Another Trick of the Light In an experiment straight out of Star Trek, two Australian scientists teleported information between two laser beams a meter apart. The scientists made use of a phenomenon called quantum entanglement to dismantle a signal-transmitted in photons, or particles of light-in one shaft of laser light and instantaneously rebuild a replica of it in a second laser beam. Star Trek-style transporters that could move objects through space are still remote, however. "Teleporting of that kind is very...

...major problems of high energy physics today are in finding a theory of gravity that is consistent with quantum mechanics,” Minwalla said. “Gravity is a force that applies to large fields and quantum mechanics is important in small scales and although we understand each piece very well, we actually haven’t managed to find a theory that is consistent when we go to very short distances...
According to Cabot Professor of Chemistry Roy G. Gordon ’61, the new course will be less mathematical in focus than Chem. 10, which included a section on quantum mechanics requiring high-level math...
...mysteries of quantum physics are rarely understood, much less contemplated, by nonscientists. But uncovering the exact nature of a 1941 meeting between physicists NIELS BOHR, top, and WERNER HEISENBERG is a challenge that has enthralled many theatergoers, thanks to the Tony Award-winning play Copenhagen. Michael Frayn's drama imagines what might have happened at the meeting in occupied Denmark between Heisenberg, chief of Hitler's atom-bomb program, and Bohr, his Jewish mentor. Did Heisenberg, postulator of the uncertainty principle, attempt to extract information from Bohr? Or did he use the meeting to confess his anguish over helping Hitler...
