Samsung will have flexible displays at some point, for unknown prices, in theoretical products. November 15, 2012, 3:27 PM — Photo via Engadget.
Whoa now! Did you see the Wall Street Journal report on Samsung's upcoming flexible displays? By using plastic instead of glass, by utilizing OLEDs, and working toward a new concept of devices, Samsung could make our gadgets "unbreakable, lighter and bendable. " First teleportation between macroscopic objects leads the way to a quantum internet. The long-range teleportation barrier has already been broken multiple times, but the information being transported, such as a single quantum bit (qubit), has always been relatively small, usually between two photons.
This time around, a team of physicists have managed to transport information from one macroscopic (visible to the naked eye) object to another for the first time, potentially leading us towards the first quantum network routers. Qubits — the basis for quantum networking and computing — are highly unstable, and are destroyed by a single measurement. However, physicists have figured out how to send a qubit without destroying it through the use of teleportation, managing to send them over large distances in the past — once over a distance of 60 miles, and another over a distance of 89 miles.
However, up until now, each successful teleportation has been between either two microscopic objects, or one micro and one macroscopic object. The Institute for Creation Research. UFOs and Nuclear Weapons. How Long Will The Sun Last? Recent solar activity caused great concern among many people, including "New Age" prophecies that the sun was burning out, and the end was near.
While we don't know the timetable for end-time events, we do know that giant solar flares shot far into space, producing beautiful displays of Northern Lights while disrupting the functions of communications satellites worldwide. We also know that such flares happen from time to time on the sun, related to its 11-year cycle of sunspots, and its rotating magnetic field. This series of flares in late October, however, was perhaps the largest ever record-ed, causing many to wonder, "just how long will the sun last? " Despite the pronouncements of overly enthusiastic astronomers, processes within the sun are not fully known, and controversy swirls around even their nature. Stellar evolution proposes that a star goes through many stages during its life, and astronomers can point to stars which appear to be at each stage.
