Light Changed to Matter, Then Stopped and Moved

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 8, 2007 -- By converting light into matter and then back again, physicists have for the first time stopped a light pulse and then restarted it a small distance away. This "quantum mechanical magic trick" provides unprecedented control over light and could have applications in fiber-optic communication and quantum information processing.

In quantum networks, information optically transmitted over the network is converted into matter, processed, and then converted back into light. The physicists at Harvard University hope that their discovery could provide a possible way to do this, since matter, unlike light, can easily be manipulated. Their findings were published this week in the journal Nature.

"We demonstrate that we can stop a light pulse in a supercooled sodium cloud, store the data contained within it, and totally extinguish it, only to reincarnate the pulse in another cloud two-tenths of a millimeter away," said Lene Vestergaard Hau, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

if i read it right then all light information is stored in the deepest of space.because the deepest of space should be bose condensate .which means we could be inside a bubble of bose condensate.
just a theory

I like Your theory, robo.  [smile]

All I know for sure is...  I think, therefore, I AM.  LOL!

after i made that post leonard on big bang theory stated the same thing.my jaw dropped.if the condensate is made of hydrogen then we are inside a metallic ball.google metallic hydrogen i think?
