Not long ago, in the early 1990s, scientists only speculated that teleportation using quantum physics could be possible. Since then, the process has become a standard operation in quantum optics labs around the world.
The satellite, called Micius, is a highly sensitive photo receiver capable of detecting the quantum states of single photons fired from the ground. Micius was launched to allow scientists to test various technological building blocks for quantum feats including entanglement, cryptography, and teleportation.
This teleportation feat was announced as one of the first results of these experiments. Not only did the team teleport the first object ever from the ground to orbit, they also created the first satellite-to-ground quantum network, smashing the record for the longest distance for which entanglement has been measured.
In a small town near the breathtaking Lake Titicaca in Peru exists a large collection of mushroom-shaped carved stones. Upon closer inspection, it seems more likely that they are representations of penises. Is this truly the case? No one knows for certain but with this comparison of the Peruvian site and other similar phallic phenomena around the world, you can decide for yourself.
