I’m already beaming impressions of myself into the swamp behind my house. I expect to have an army of clones in the coming months!

Anyone brainstorm some practical applications of this? I’m to lazy to use my imagination at the moment…

“Some kind of hologram from the edge of the universe”? What does that even mean? That sounds even more surprising than “some kind of electromagnetism from the other side of a copper coil”. Nice job, Dr. Explanation.

”If you’d seen BBC 2′s Horizon programme on Reality you’d know this is MORE than normal. Some kinda hologram from the edge of the universe, etc etc.”

Lol I watched that program, it is one theory among many – I like how you condensed the entire theory to ‘some kinda hologram’ and ‘etc etc’ though. Nicely worded considering this is MORE than normal, kids stuff right? P

i thought this aspect of quantum physics was already well known…?

Ah science by press release – the hallmark of top quality research.

Sounds more like the control tube is contaminated with some of the sample DNA.

The first thing that springs to mind is that either the test tubes or the reaction equipment may have been contaminated.
Let’s see if the experiment is reproducible. If so, that’s a pretty amazing find.
