Straight Line of the Day: Scientists are totally into teleportation. Unintended consequences include…
Researchers Achieve Sustained, High-Fidelity Quantum Teleportation
University of Chicago via Phys.org | 12/29/20Quantum teleportation is a “disembodied” transfer of quantum states from one location to another. The quantum teleportation of a qubit is achieved using quantum entanglement, in which two or more particles are inextricably linked to each other. If an entangled pair of particles is shared between two separate locations, no matter the distance between them, the encoded information is teleported.
.
In a paper published in PRX Quantum, the team presents for the first time a demonstration of a sustained, long-distance teleportation of qubits made of photons (particles of light) with fidelity greater than 90%.
… a fidelity of only 90% means that after a few teleports, your voice sounds like a bad drive-thru speaker.
Are you implying that there is such a thing as a good drive-thru speaker?
…keeping an eye on the lab’s practical jokers, or you’ll never find your car keys.
…deja vu like you’ve never experienced before.
Haven’t I already read this comment somewhere?

I think Albert Barise may have said it.

those pesky flies, and becoming one.

you may start pronouncing it Basil not Basil.
. . . votes being teleported from around the world in the middle of the night to swing states.
Pretty sure the results may not be ‘Unintended Consequences’ though. You know the Leftists are all about the science.
… you still end up with a tenth of those kids on your lawn.
Involuntary re-transgendering…
You never can find that large wooden badger when you need it.
You end up in 90 year old William Shatner’s body.
…You end up in a universe where everyone is sporting a goatee.
Already got one.
Okay, just what have YOU been up to?
Not shaving since I don’t have to go into the office anymore.
Nothing incriminating.
Well certainly nothing that would stand up in court.

you’ll discover that Scottie doesn’t drive a beemer.
Somehow a Shaman ends up wandering around in the chambers of the U.S. Capitol building
…cranky doctors whining about having their molecules scattered across the universe.
There’s nothing worse than a pair o’ docs.
Being forced to wear a pair o’ Crocs?
With socks.
Paging Dr. Seuss.

… Aliens randomly commenting on IMAO about the hazards of teleportation…
Well I wouldn’t say that.
… the awkwardness of arriving too early for parties…
Finding out your ass is too big, like President Scroob did.

… some uncertainty. But that’s neither here nor there.
… a sign being both on IMAO and on the moon at the same time.
That reminds me…
… cookies in your wall & nuts.
Ouch!
…all of the lab techs start to look like Michael Keaton.
