Full Body Teleportation System
- jammygit 7y agoWhich patent officer reviewed and granted this?
- astrodust 7y agoThe one who was in a rush to clear out their backlog of applications and go home on Friday.
- Dude2029 7y ago...go or better teleport and ideally in full body.
- imglorp 7y agoIf that application was any more hand-wavy, the author could take off and fly to their destination with all the flapping.
- jameskilton 7y agoIt was never granted, it's "Abandoned" (as of today!). Great example of why Occam's Razor is so important. The poor guy probably was day dreaming or for some reason blacked out for a few minutes, but wow. This thing is quite the read.
- dibujante 7y agoLuis A. Hecht Rosas reviewed it, but did not grant it. It was abandoned.
- greensoap 7y agoNone. The application was rejected by the USPTO. And the applicant Abandoned the application. It will never become a patent. This is a non-story. The application was filed by someone who willingly spent their money. The USPTO rejected it. And now its on the front of Hackernews.
- derefr 7y agoWhy are you interpreting this post as an attempt at news? It's almost-certainly an attempt at ridicule.
- kfrzcode 7y agoThere's a sidebar (on desktop version) that has a timeline of events including when the inventor abandoned the idea
- fortran77 7y agoIt says this is an application for a patent. No patent was ever granted.
- 52-6F-62 7y agoOh boy. This could be hours of fun down the rabbit hole. Profiles on the "inventor" include: https://steemit.com/history/@scubasteve/who-is-inventor-john-quincy-st-clair https://steemit.com/history/@scubasteve/who-is-inventor-john... https://zapatopi.net/blog/?post=200604284330.st_clair_hyperinventor https://zapatopi.net/blog/?post=200604284330.st_clair_hyperi... And you don't wade in. It's a hard head-first dive off the 30-footer.

- PavlovsCat 7y ago> a pendulum (A) held in the left hand over the right hand will spin in the counterclockwise direction due to the hyperspace energy vortex (B) emanating from the palm of the right hand. This vortex arises because human beings are hyperspace energy beings that live in physical containers located in this universe. The vortex might be considered a wormhole between space and hyperspace. Notice that the angular momentum vector of the vortex points up out of the palm of the hand. If the hand were spinning from left to right, then there would be a force exerted, as shown by the above equation, that would bring hyperspace energy into the right arm. http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&p=1&S1=20040200925 http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&u=%2Fn... I see stuff like that and I'm out -- without the feeling of having missed anything.
- ineedasername 7y agoGuy daydreams, walks past his bus stop. Attributes the event to spontaneous teleportation due to pulsed gravitational waves generated by a nearby plane. 15 years later, the internet (well, HN at least) gets some lolz.
- Groxx 7y ago>It is obvious from the above scenario that the airplane momentarily crossing perpendicular to the road generates the aforementioned pulse. Many lolz
- edoo 7y agoI didn't think they gave out patents for hallucinations or science that can't be reproduced.
- pdonis 7y agoYour faith in the sanity and diligence of the patent office is touching, but misplaced. :-)

- BinaryIdiot 7y agoThey do not [usually]. This patent was rejected and abandoned.
- nabla9 7y agoSometimes mental illness leaves trail of legal and technical documents behind. Patent was never granted.
- mv4 7y agoSafety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.
- newsreview1 7y agoand again we see the effects of LSD upon work creativity.

- bhmckendrick 7y agoI was preparing myself to go on a rant about the evils of the US IP infrastructure - copyrights, patents, etc... Until I checked the patent application again and saw it was REJECTED. Why are we talking about this ? If I want to glimpse into the mind of a lunatic, I'll call my mother ... (love you mom)
- maitredusoi 7y agoTo share fun ,you know like being together and have good fun ;)
- aeternum 7y agoMaybe given the state of US IP infrastructure, the system working properly for once is actually newsworthy.
- oneepic 7y ago<points at nearby mountain>"Wanna see me run to that mountain and back?" "...Wanna see me do it again?" -- Spongebob Squarepants, aka The Quickster EDIT: This got downvoted in <1 minute, so I have to assume the Quickster was watching this thread too
- joemi 7y agoIt probably was downvoted because humorous comments that seem to be just for humor's sake usually aren't considered to add to the discussion. That's not to say that they never can, but it seems fairly uncommon.
- Belphemur 7y agoQuite interesting to see his other "works": * Walking through walls training system * Internet accessible mail box system * Permanent magnet propulsion system * etc... https://patents.google.com/?assignee=St+Clair+John+Q https://patents.google.com/?assignee=St+Clair+John+Q
- itcrowd 7y agoI was interested in why it was rejected, the answer was funnier than expected: The invention is not supported by a credible utility or well established utility because the claims call for the generation of gravitational waves and the interacting of the waves with hyperspace and the effects which are asserted to come from such interactions. The existence of hyperspace is not well proven or shown to exist in accordance with credible science and physics. The use of hyperspace and gravitation waves in the claims therefore must be backed up with significant scientific experimental data to firstly prove that hyperspace interacting with gravitation waves produces some effect and secondly that the applicant has the ability to harness such interaction for a useful purpose and can demonstrate such on demand. Also the existence of wormholes and the generating of wormholes is in question currently in the scientific community and as such these claims must be backed with proof through scientific data and description [...] The examiner maintains that the present invention does not conform to known scientific principles [...] etc. etc. edit to add the source: https://globaldossier.uspto.gov/#/details/US/10953212/A/87539 https://globaldossier.uspto.gov/#/details/US/10953212/A/8753...

- jobigoud 7y ago>> the present invention does not conform to known scientific principles Nutjob aside, does that mean you can't patent an invention if you don't fully understand why it works? I wouldn't be surprised if there were patents granted for things physically impossible. And on the other hand I would bet there were inventions in the course of history that defied the then-current known science.
- idrae 7y agoYou can patent things even if you don't know exactly why it works. However a patent has to enable others to create the thing that is patentend. That is to say, somebody who is up to date in the field should be able to create the invention using the knowledge from the field plus the details in the patent.

- Rexxar 7y agoWe have all seen a lot of accepted but impossible patents but is there any known refused patents of valid invention because the examiners didn't understood the science behind it ?
- batcan 7y agoWhat's funny is we are trying to Pierce through into a mirror dimension in Tennessee right now, for science, and you guys think this dude's a lunatic for his ideas lol.
