The new movie Jumper features people who have the ability to teleport from one place in the world to another in the blink of an eye. A few weeks ago MIT hosted a panel discussion between the film’s director and star, and two physics professors, about the prospect of real teleportation.

At the event, actor Hayden Christensen and director Doug Liman were kind enough, and brave enough, to talk to us about their understanding of teleportation in the real world as opposed to their film. We offer their comments as a preview, a coming attraction if you will, of a ScienCentral News story, “Real Teleportation,” which will appear Tuesday 2/12, and feature the work of NIST physicist David Wineland.

    With cell phones ubiquitous in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health care providers have put two-and-two together to help the weight-conscious send photos of their meals to nutritionists for analysis.

    Complimenti per idea del sito. Anche noi siamo amanti del trekking. Perche non organizziamo un incontro di appassionati per delle escursioni insieme? Magari non piu di 6-8 in tutto? Un saluto.
