BAtty77 has really gone off the deep end on this one:

... It is also interesting to note that we can only “destroy” a photon in these quantum teleportation experiments. No one has “created” a photon as of yet. I firmly believe man shall never do as such, since I hold only God is infinite, and perfect, in information/knowledge.


I am creating and destroying infrared photons as I sit here typing.  I must be God.

...traveling at the speed of light only gets us to the place where time, as we understand it, comes to complete stop for light, i.e. gets us to the eternal, “past and future folding into now”, framework/dimension of time. This “eternal” inference for light is warranted because light is not “frozen within time” yet it is shown that time does not pass for light.


Total, blathering hogwash.  Photons carry their own clock, i.e. their frequency, which keeps perfect time in spite of the fact that they are traveling at lightspeed.

Mass becomes infinite at the speed of light, thus mass will never go the speed of light. As well, distance in direction of travel will shrink to zero for mass at the speed of light (i.e. the mass would disappear from our sight if it could go the speed of light.).

-unless we look at any angle other than perpendicular. Besides, photons have finite mass: they have momentum, they are accelerated by gravity, they exert a force when deflected. They simply have no "rest mass", and they certainly don't "shrink to zero in the direction of travel", as evidenced by their wavepacket description.

BAtshit crazy77, if you are going to spout off about "quantum teleportation", learn some freakin' physics first, for cripes sakes.  You are embarrassing yourself.
