Re:Magnetic wormhole created for first time by krapp on Thursday September 03, 2015 @02:04PM (#10166547)
I wish it could become standard operating procedure around here to place quotes around scientifically linkbaiting terms like "wormhole" in article titles, lest they be mistaken for fact.

Also, to save everyone the trouble of getting their hopes up in the future:

- It's not a wormhole. It's never a wormhole.

- Quantum teleportation and quantum entanglement don't mean what you (probably) think they do, and neither allows for faster than light communication anyway. No, not even then.

- It doesn't really make things invisible, it just makes a narrow part of the electromagnetic spectrum difficult to detect under experimental conditions, and that part probably doesn't include visible light.

- It can't really read your thoughts.

- It's (probably) not really artificial intelligence.

- It's not antigravity. It's never antigravity.

- It's not a warp drive. It's never a warp drive.

- They almost certainly didn't get cold fusion working this time.

- All solutions to the Fermi paradox are handwaving nonsense until proven otherwise.
