Alpha Crusis is 230 light years from earth. If we could find a reflecting element in that system and digitally zoom in, we could watch history as it was in the Revolutionary period. Wait... right now Alpha Crusisians are seeing our Revolution. However, by the time that light gets back to us 230 light years later, it'll be the end of 2227, right? So, that means whatever we would see now would be 460 years ago. - Jeff

Kevin: Back in 93 I heard a fellow by the name of Bennett, I believe, from IBM speak at the Informart in Dallas. Or it could have been some other IBMer talking about Bennett who had proposed, that the distinct reality, rather, than as a theory, the construction of a quantam transporter. Todays issue of Nature has an article by Austrian scientists who have spatially transported light photons and earlier in the week I heard that some Italian guys were doing the same thing and would be reported in some journal. I'm not qualified to debate quantam theory, I just read about it. Thought you and Jeffers and Andrew might toss this one around for a while.......ggg Given sufficient energy, I would suppose the "beam" could serve as a time travel device. Regards-----Nemer
