On PBS I believe I saw in passing that they were showing
the light teleportation experiment, but I'd have to search
the PBS.org site to be certian.
Scary thoughts given nowadays events, and threats, but
also makes for some interesting visits here and there too,
as perhaps a new mode of ham radio?

Mel...Was there not a movie out about a situation that was
to have happened in the USA in the war, where an American
warship and crew teleported from the Atlantic <forget the
location> to the Pacific, and when the ship arrived they
were all on fire, and a few were dead and those still
clinging to life were seen with flesh hanging off, etc?

If either original or copy, I wonder what might be sort of
swept up and deposited within the original or copy. Reminds
me of another movie called the "fly".

Aaah Mel. You are thinking of those days when you were
in the lookout's chair high about the deck, watching the
seas. I agree with you, I'd rather take my chances
via sea then this teleportation... Dr. McCoy used to hate
it complaining of having his atoms, all mixed up and shove
here or there and being re-essembled..which explains why
he always took the shuttle craft to the Enterprise.
It is like being fired down a runway, into the sky
in a metal tube.
Merry Christmas Mel .. to you and family as well
Happy New Year 2007, as I will not be here for that greeting!
