Huh? The difference as far as I am concerned is that 1) they have done the math--all of the above results are consistant with quantum mechanics, etc. And 2) these are reputable scientific experiments, with enough information published that 3) the results have been duplicated. As for the Nimtz (superluminal communication) there have been a number of papers challenging whether or not it is a practical method. I think it can be developed into a technique where you have alternating forbidden and amplifying regions in a waveguide. The average data velocity would then be in the 2 to 3x lightspeed range. But there is no bogus science in any of the papers or results I mentioned. (The original quantum teleportion result involved only a single photon at a time, but people are working on scaling it up. I think an electron has now been teleported, and the next project is to teleport a single atom.) Startrek like teleportation of people is decades if not a century away, but at this point it is engineering, no new physics required. -- Robert I.
