Well actually, this is not all a hoax. The method described in the message is known as Quantum Teleportation. It is being seriously researched and has been demonstrated in controlled experiments. The following links will take you to sites that describe the theory better than I ever could. I only study Quantum Physics for fun. :) It is a real effect, and while the story is based in reality, the announcement that Lucent has succesfully built a device that uses this method of communication is quite doubtful though. The following links are however, not hoaxes. We have nothing to fear, as this technology is still quite a ways from actual commercial use. http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/ http://www.sciam.com/explorations/122297teleport/index.html

Actually the Bell labs website has quite an extensive slab of info on this work-up, it appears it ports to optical and wireless technologies. Just do a search on "quantum" when you get there. THZ's man.... cooool. On Tue, 31 Mar 1998, Chris Parker wrote:
