“Teleporting quantum information is now a practical reality,” asserts Deutsche Telekom. The firm’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware to demo quantum teleportation over 30km of live, commercial Berlin fiber, running alongside classical internet traffic. In an email to Tom’s Hardware, Deutsche Telekom’s PR folks said that Cisco also ran the same hardware and demo process to connect data centers in NYC.

      Thanks, that’s an interesting read. Still stand by my opinion that your statement is overly confident in explaining consciousness.

        Penrose published a book on it in 1989.

        For literal decades the only thing that ruled it out was the ability for quantum entanglement in the brain. Less than 2 years ago we proved not only was that possible, but quantum super position could be sustained for as long as we’re awake.

        It’s a pretty safe time to be confident, even without accounting for Penrose being the literal smartest person on the planet.

        Like, I’m not big on “appeals to authority” but if Sir Roger Penrose spends 37 years saying something is true, and just continually gets proven more right over the decades…

        It’s not as far reaching as you seem to believe.

        Like, gravity is just a theory too, shit is harder than people realize it is to prove.
