U.S. Air Force Takes a Look at Teleportation

[Psycho4Bud]

It seems that mere stealth technology is not enough; the United States Air Force wants to get from here to there without even traversing the space in between. Are they looking for a Star Trek(TM) transporter? Or maybe even a farcaster from science fiction writer Dan Simmons' awesome novel Hyperion, which lets you step from one planet to the next?
Not quite: but, lest you think that our friends at DARPA are the only ones interested in science-fictional possibilities, the USAF recently took delivery of a new study regarding the military potential of teleportation.

The Teleportation Physics Study was done by Eric Davis of Warp Drive Metrics. Its purpose -

"This study was tasked with the purpose of collecting information describing the teleportation of material objects, providing a description of teleportation as it occurs in physics, its theoretical and experimental status, and a projection of potential applications. The study also consisted of a search for teleportation phenomena occurring naturally or under laboratory conditions that can be assembled into a model describing the conditions required to accomplish the transfer of objects."

I do believe that we "unofficially" tried this before! :eek:

Sounds like a very good escuse to feed another trillion dollars down a bottemless pit, Like we need another. Fuck, I spent 4 years on an AB destroyer, A 3 billion dollar ship, 100 dollars a minute for fuel, My (and 300 other guys) training. That was my epiphany, that they could have sent us all to Harvard far cheaper........

Kirk to bridge, beam me up Scotty. :thumbsup:

Now quick, somebody get lordbushit on the transporter pad and send him into deep space. Oh, and make sure Condom Rice and Colon Bowels are with him.

Fucking insane! :D
