ScienceBlogs Whoops - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum A bit OT in that it has nowt to do with Land Rovers, but today saw me add some good photos to my collection so I thought I'd post them Crossing a valley close to town this morning to do a 5 minute job, a rather large Hitachi hit a bit of a soft spot Really quite deep now this would normally be quite a good photo for the collection but things were to get worse yet! First attempt to free it using a Cat D5 which just buried it a bit further - the problem being that it was sooo soft that every movement made the Hitachi sink a bit more Having decided that the only way was to dig to hard ground a second (lighter!) Trenching towards hard(er) ground.... By this time the entire machine except for the arm was below ground level and there were some major problems with slop getting into both the cab and the engine compartment and while it had the awesome power to pull itself forwards, rather a lot of goo was starting to build up in front! Gonna be a while before this grasses over again And success

Teleportation Teleportation, or Teletransportation, is the theoretical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. It is a common subject of science fiction literature, film, and television. Etymology[edit] American writer Charles Fort coined the word teleportation in 1931[1][2] to describe the strange disappearances and appearances of anomalies, which he suggested may be connected. He joined the Greek prefix tele- (meaning "distant") to the root of the Latin verb portare (meaning "to carry"). "Mostly in this book I shall specialize upon indications that there exists a transportory force that I shall call Teleportation. Fort suggested that teleportation might explain various allegedly paranormal phenomena. The word teletransportation, which expands Fort's abbreviated term, was first employed in Derek Parfit's teletransportation paradox, a thought exercise on identity published in the 1984 book Reasons and Persons. Fiction[edit] See also[edit]

Quantum teleportation Quantum teleportation is a process by which quantum information (e.g. the exact state of an atom or photon) can be transmitted (exactly, in principle) from one location to another, with the help of classical communication and previously shared quantum entanglement between the sending and receiving location. Because it depends on classical communication, which can proceed no faster than the speed of light, it cannot be used for superluminal transport or communication of classical bits. It also cannot be used to make copies of a system, as this violates the no-cloning theorem. Non-technical summary[edit] It is known, from axiomatizations of quantum mechanics (such as categorical quantum mechanics), that the universe is fundamentally composed of two things: bits and qubits.[8][9] Bits are units of information, and are commonly represented using zero or one, true or false. Single atoms have been teleported,[1][2][3] although not in the science-fiction sense. Protocol[edit] and to his qubit.
The World`s Biggests: Gustav Gun - The Largest Gun Ever Built The largest gun ever built was the "Gustav Gun" built in Essen, Germany in 1941 by the firm of Friedrich Krupp A.G. Upholding a tradition of naming heavy cannon after family members, the Gustav Gun was named after the invalid head of the Krupp family - Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. The strategic weapon of its day, the Gustav Gun was built at the direct order of Adolf Hitler for the express purpose of crushing Maginot Line forts protecting the French frontier. To accomplish this, Krupp designed a giant railway gun weighing 1344 tons with a bore diameter of 800 mm (31.5") and served by a 500 man crew commanded by a major-general. Two types of projectiles were fired using a 3000lb. charge of smokeless powder: a 10,584 lb. high explosive (HE) shell and a 16,540 lb. concrete-piercing projectile. Craters from the HE shells measured 30-ft. wide and 30-ft. deep while the concrete piercing projectile proved capable of penetrating 264-ft. of reinforced concrete before exploding! Photo
