This is the age of miracles and wonders and storing light
byVanderleunonOctober 14, 2020
For the experiment, atoms of rubidium-87 are first pre-cooled and then transported to the main test area, which is a custom-made vacuum chamber. There they are cooled to temperatures of just a few microkelvins.
Light has, for the first time, been “stored and transported.” Let that sink in.
Physicists successfully carry out controlled transport of stored light “We stored the light by putting it in a suitcase so to speak, only that in our case the suitcase was made of a cloud of cold atoms. We moved this suitcase over a short distance and then took the light out again. This is very interesting not only for physics in general, but also for quantum communication, because light is not very easy to ‘capture’, and if you want to transport it elsewhere in a controlled manner, it usually ends up being lost,” said Professor Patrick Windpassinger, explaining the complicated process.
That being said, it is interesting to see scientists actually doing something, well, scientific. It’s a rare treat, although my pessimistic mind sees a future where some evil scientist decides it can be used for some vile political reason.
Interesting hype, which reminds me of the hype over cold fusion, or the now defunct Segway company, which was hyped as a revolutionary mode of transportation. While I appreciate what science has accomplished for us, not all the rabbit holes science goes down are worth exploring.

Right. And at what cost, and to whom?
Erase all of the gov’t welfare and the parasites it breeds, then the productive people would be better off.
I don’t believe this “light transport” thing no matter the slick language, as language is easily manipulated and now a days words mean whatever the user wants them to mean. Heisenberg theory is at the root, the ability (or lack thereof) to catalog atoms. There will always be a loss, thus, what you end up with id different than what you started with.
Bones wondered, “When men molecularly transport do their souls transport as well?”, or are they simply creating molecular copies while simultaneously destroying the original?

The thing about the rabbit holes is that one doesn’t always know until one reaches the bottom of the hole, or even years after when other rabbit holes are explored.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

I carry Light around all the time. The Bible.

The science is unsetteling.
Interesting hype, which reminds me of the hype over cold fusion, or the now defunct Segway company, which was hyped as a revolutionary mode of transportation. While I appreciate what science has accomplished for us, not all the rabbit holes science goes down are worth exploring.
