Not sure if anyone heard this about a year ago but scientists were able to make the same atom appear in two places at the same time. It was only worthy of a small blurb in the Human Interest section of the paper...sad...

it wasnt an atom, it was a beam of light.

this was all over the news when it happened. i think that these type of things are not really significant when people cannot relate to it, or when it has no clear application that will affect or more importantly, improve lives.
the details of this experiment is pretty much impossible to understand without a solid grasp of quantum physics.
