http://www.ted.com Inventor and MacArthur fellow Saul Griffith shares some innovative ideas from his lab -- from "smart rope" to a house-sized kite for towing large loads.

    how about a bit more reverence for the english language?

  • sad to see this with only 10k views.. were as tony robbins gets millions for 1 TED vid..

  • How would you extract a string?

    Oh btw. it would be replication, rather than teleportation, and would raise ethic issues if you'd be able to get that string by decomposing the being to extract the information.

  • From 1992 to 2002, Wolfram worked on his controversial book A New Kind of Science (NKS), which presents an empirical study of very simple computational systems. Additionally, it argued that for fundamental reasons these types of systems, rather than traditional mathematics, are needed to model and understand complexity in nature.

  • Wow, amazing!

  • great stuff

  • MIND FREAKIN' BLOWING----just like most of the stuff on TED!!!!!!!!!

  • wow an analogue man in a digital world!

  • could this be applied to teleportation? I mean to make out of a 3D object that string of info with their polarities, transmit the string and at the other end reconstruct the 3D object based on the polarities
