i thought they had already done a variation on this last year?

similar experiment, too...  around the same time they stopped a
photon of light and restarted it later on (although it was a different
photon with exactly the same properties as the original)...

at least they aren't trying to claim quantum tunneling is
teleportation...

and until they can do this at something other than a subatomic
level, teleportation isn't here... all this is just playing up already
existing properties in quantum mechanics...

not that i'm a physicist or anything...

i'm not...

in case you were wondering...
