It's a breakthrough in science to be able to transfer the information from one photon to another. Where one was in the Gobi desert and the other in the satellite in space. It's not really moving the objet but replicating in space the same information as in the photon on earth. Apparently that also holds some incredibly fascinating possibility's...

According to Hooke Professor of Experimental Physics at Oxford University, Ian Walmsley: "this discovery can later potentially be used to create a cloud based quantum computer. It would also allow to send information secure, without it being tampered with or at least not without you knowing about it. " Image the what that would mean for all of internet and cryptos!
Quantum physics brings the mystery of our very universe to our doorstep and applying that to improve technology in a way that will blow the brains out of or minds in a few years, in the same way a person from the 1800th would flip totally if you would show them your Iphone.
I my personal view, which I'm not alone sharing. Everything comes down to energy, and that energy is itself consciousness. That's most likely why an object or photon can have it's properties changed instantly from any distance, since it's all within the great thought of the universe. Some of our greatest scientist as Albert Einstein, We all know speak of such.
Along with:
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” – Max Planck, theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918
“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.” – R.C. Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University , “The Mental Universe” ; Nature 436:29,2005)
Super excited!
