Time Teleportation

I guess this should not be a surprise...given the space-time continuum. However, for some reason it is harder to contemplate time entanglement than space entanglement.

In space entanglement, I can measure either entangled particle, and the other will be the same.

In time entanglement it makes sense that I can measure a particle in the past, and its future partner will have the same value...but this also implies that if I measure the future of a particle, I force its past into the same state. Is there a way to change the past hidden in here?

The Fourth R.

Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic, and algoRithms.  My wife and I were just brainstorming about this: how coding should be the next "basic" skill.  Of course, someone was ahead of us and posted this .  It is awesome to see Mozilla Hackasaurus referenced in this article.  It is a small world. In the early days of the printing press, scholars wrote the books; the press was simply used for production (see this article ).  As time went on, "average" people became familiar with the medium, and used it for their own messages.  We are at just that point with the Web.  Software Engineers write the code, and the Web distributes it.   Software Engineers are the algoRithm scholars of today.  They won't be for long.  Soon algoRithms will be taught starting in elementary school, along with the other three R's.

Tiny Silicon Chip Uses Quantum Physics to Slow Light Down | Wired Science | Wired.com OK - this is cool and interesting. BUT - what does it mean. Authors of articles like this one should at least attempt to highlight some real commercial applications. Why does slowing down light matter? I guess, if you can "stop" light, you can store photons as memory, which would be pretty efficient. Is that the ultimate goal?
