I wonder what Randi had answered if the scientist who discovered the photon teleportation had applied for the million dollar challenge.
It could have paid the donuts for every morning in the lab it was run.
I guess being skeptical must have a limit, and I guess anyone can be more skeptical than others just by interests: e.g. releasing a million dollar hehe, or pushing for a higher cause like saving people from scammers.
What is Randi's stake at teleportation now that is proved?
Would a magician STILL find fault in such a giant axe research facility?
or in other words, would a magician manage to make people believe the photon really didn't teleport because it broke one of the non-stablished quantum laws that the same experiment was trying to test? Like, basically the photon "didn't" teleport at the moment of the experiment because the new quantum or whatever law it might have led to discover teleportation wasn't declared as such until after the data collection, so whatever happened before wasn't called "teleportation" because the word as such didn't exist yet… you got the point.
I'm being just skeptic here, at the many ways words can be bent to deny something due to interests (marketing).
