Is Teleportation Possible? - http://clapway.com/2015/11/11/teleportation-possible/

You’re sitting at your desk with a one-hour lunch break fast approaching. You truly love that hour of lunch, for there is nothing more therapeutic than the sound of food being chewed, I repeat, nothing. Trembling with excitement, you suddenly realize, that you have done the unthinkable; you left the lunch you packed the night before in your refrigerator at home.

You look up towards the ceiling and cry, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!”

If only there were a way to teleport home retrieve your lunch and teleport back to the office in a moments notice, a true adventure. It sounds impossible; teleporting is a myth, a child’s wish. It’s a trend seen only in TV shows and films such as Star Trek and Jumper. Well think again, Dutch scientists may have unlocked the secret.

Professor Ronald Hanson of Delft University and his team successfully caused an atom to vanish and reappear nearly 10 feet away. The Irish Times reports, in this experiment, information encoded into sub-atomic particles was teleported between two points with 100% accuracy for the very first time.

Hanson says that, if a particle can be teleported, there’s no reason to believe the same cannot be done for a human being. He further explained, “If you believe we are nothing more than a collection of atoms strung together in a particular way, then in principle it should be possible to teleport ourselves from one place to another. In practice it’s extremely unlikely, but to say it can never work is very dangerous. I would not rule it out because there’s no fundamental law of physics preventing it.”

Hanson states that he will continue to push the limits of teleportation. In his next experiment he will attempt to teleport information from one building to another, over 4,000 feet away.

Although Hanson may have taken a step towards teleportation, it still lays a long ways away. Who knows how long it will be until we can travel from point A to point B in a flash of a second. Jump back to the man who lacks lunch in his office. I apologize for getting your hopes up, maybe you should try to be more responsible and less forgetful.

Meet Homo naledi, Our New Human Ancestor - http://clapway.com/2015/10/06/homo-naledi-skulls-found-in-africa-darwin/

Meet Homo naledi

Cavers Steven Tucker and Rick Hunter were spelunking in South Africa and uncovered one of the most significant discoveries in human evolution in last 50 years – the skulls and remains of Homo naledi.

Not Quite Human, But Close

The new hominin species was announced in September by an international team of more than 60 scientists led by American paleoanthropologist Lee R. Berger, also a professor of human evolution studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. The species name, H. naledi, signifies the cave where the bones were discovered. “naledi” means “star” in the Sesotho language.

Homo Neladi, although close to being human, it is not. The species had a tiny brain, around half the size of a humans, and a large ape like body. Tucker and Hunter were exploring the Rising Star cave outside of Johannesburg, aka the Cradle of Humankind, two years ago and found a trove of human-like skeletons.

Although the cave had been traversed many times in the past, these remains were distinguished for having small wiry frames.

The Details

Hunter and Tucker knew the importance of the discovery and immediately set out to find a team to help extract the remains. They made a post on Facebook that quickly skyrocketed, and they received many supporters. From those, they strategically chose 6 women to form a team and extract the skeletons.

Altogether the team extracted 1,550 specimens. They were able to recover four partial skulls, two males and two females. They also found nearly complete skeletons. There were adult, juvenile and infant remains extracted,

Approximately 20 scientists from 15 countries studied the findings both on and off site and are sharing their discoveries as they happen.

Homo Neladi is even closer to being human than its found predecessor, Homo erectus, which is dated to having lived 1.6 million years ago.

Homo neladi has not been carbon dated yet.

The creatures were practically half human. The teeth were close to being human; the back half match while the front half does not. The hip’s top half is human like and the bottom half ape like.

Humans are partially defined by their logical processes, so Darwin, eat your heart out.
