Oooo... teleportation.... I like!

But on the flip side... I will never want to get into a pod even if it works. How do we know if the pod merely destroys the current me and recreates a fake (but completely similar) me at the other end? Hmmm...

teleportation is ... time travel.

you prefer to teleport to the past, or to the future ?

No lah... teleportation is not related to time travel
It is transportation of people/material between 2 distinct points in space, NOT time.

But sorry, I digress. Back to the main topic.

A more viable “teleporting” possibility could be like the “Avatar” movie?

Currently we have synthetic arms that communicate some sensations to the wearer. Wearer can feel certain coarse sensations through the synthetic arms. synthetic arm is connected to the stump via some wirings and wearer move the synthetic arm like how they used to move their actual arm- signals from brain to the stump and continue through wires into the synthetic arm. And it is wired network.

Now we have wireless 5G. Quantum technology could be like wireless 5 “trillion” G - instant signal across space and I read, almost across time.

Just like wearer wired control their synthetic arm and get some coarse sensations, next time we can “quantum” control (wireless 5 trillion G) our avatars on moon and get instant sensations as if we are on the moon ourselves.

Yeah. I think the idea of teleportation will be used for cryptography, where it is possible to "connect" 2 particles, separate them across any distance, and when you observe 1 particle, that observation automatically set the spin state of the other particle. So if messages are encrypted at one end, you'll be able to capture the message at the other end AT ANY DISTANCE. And you can tell if the message was intercepted by just looking at the spin state of the particles.
Very spooky. But apparently true. The last I heard, the Chinese was able to send a message using this system...

whoa this discussion is still going on ha ha
looks like started a interesting topic lol

[AHsDad]

Yes, thanks so much, AHsDad. Actually, we still have a blank space for our DSA choices so we are quite hesitant to remove RGS from our league. But then I heard that sequencing is also considered? If so, should we just put RGS up front or some school like NJC that might be easier to get into? Thank you!

I think u may have misunderstood some stuff
1) DSA does not discriminate foreigners
2) Appeals after S1 posting also no difference
(Both are at sole discretion of school and unaffected by nationality status, unlike S1 posting)
3) Priority of choice applies to S1 posting but not DSA. For DSA, u have 3 slots for application. Only after getting CO or Waitlist then u rank your acceptance.

Hope this clarifies.

Actually we spent most of our time thinking about the past and future. We seldom live in this moment. We have enough of past and future already. I wish more for a machine that ground me to this moment,

Dear AHsDad, the school gave some talks and apparently that was what they informed us. We might have misunderstood. But still, I'm concerned about our nationality status, especially when applying through the Leadership domain. They would want to accept those with potential to lead the country, not us. We cannot contribute to SG, and so I feel like they might most likely consider nationality status/citizenship. Her teacher agrees as well.

Hi AHsDad

Thank you for sharing.
Do you mind share what are the 3 sports achievement with national level? Do you mean represented school at national games?
Due to pandemic, most national games have been cancelled these couple of years.

Thanks. Bear with me pls . Reportbook is not so comprehensive so exact duties (school-based) are also included and expounded. Community events >> role in school art sales charity donation & healthcare+Public transport heroes appreciation (art club) , NTUC book donation drive (prefect volunteer event) and river cleanup (school event).

Disclaimer: 10-pointer may not exactly be the key to securing the interview, in fact ours arguably even an overkill. Anyway… here goes
1. Art club events (inc SYF team lead + above mentioned)
2. Art competitions (internal and external)
3&4. Prefect events and roles
3. Performing arts - piano grade, talent contest, represented school in MOE music video
6. Maths & science Olympiads - internal and external achievements. Invited by NUSH for MCurie2 course
7. Oratory - debate and emceeing experience
8-10. Achvements in 3 Sports at national level

No unfortunately not the NSG sports, but lesser popular ones . My girl takes part in numerous “open” grappling competitions. in this context, “National” refers to the major competitions organised by respective National Sport Associations (Wrestling Fed of Sg, Sg Judo Fed, Sg Jujitsu Assoc). Totally nil in 2020 but Wrestling had a competition in 2021.

Hopefully she can represent her school in NSG for Judo this year, as external CCA
