Different way to look at porn

it was just later discovered it was the goal line.

I took a while to read through that article (granted, I'm drunk) in order to better understand the purpose behind the experiment and results.

Ultimately, it sounds as though we're making significant progress in understanding the wave-particle duality of light, and potentially making steps to define it as something else entirely (which, in all likelihood, it is). Thanks for posting this!

This is somehow being hailed as an amazing discovery. I just want to know how we as a human race or a society in general are better off because of this "amazing" discovery. I mean besides the whole light saber thing.

To build a quantum computer, he explained, researchers need to build a system that can preserve quantum information, and process it using quantum logic operations. The challenge, however, is that quantum logic requires interactions between individual quanta so that quantum systems can be switched to perform information processing.

"What we demonstrate with this process allows us to do that," Lukin said. "Before we make a useful, practical quantum switch or photonic logic gate we have to improve the performance, so it's still at the proof-of-concept level, but this is an important step. The physical principles we've established here are important."

To act as though the process of understanding matter itself is a trivial pursuit is itself a demonstration of a lack of scientific understanding and curiosity.

Predicable I suppose.

Or rank stupidity. I kinda give that a lean.

Never stated any of that. Just asked how we are better because of this or what wa the benefit of it. Listo actually answered the question. Thanks for not doing that.

That's just it, right now nobody knows.

Scientific discovery is a building block effort ... one thing leads to another and another. This could be nothing or it could lead to something completely unconsidered at this point. Maybe this new matter isn't anything BUT this new process leads someone else to discover a complete new matter which turns into a new form of energy that changes our entire world.

you jaded ****er :p

Oh and thanks to listopencil for the post. I'd have a man crush on him but he is a donkey after all.

Uhh, he quoted the article that he already posted.

You're suggesting that this research as no "usable" outcome, and I'm saying that research of this kind has the potential to produce the most "practical" knowledge that there is to be gained.

Jaded? ROFL I am on a voyage of discovery! My question is a building block for my heightened understanding of how we benefit from this.

The easy fruit is already off the tree. The stuff of today is far more complex. As Laz said no telling where it may go.
