on the TV show quantum leap,did sam ever make it home and if so,how?

He did make it home for one episode but it was from when he was a boy and he hoped to save his brother from going to war.  He was unable to change his family's future,  but he realized with Al's help that he should enjoy just being there with his family and perhaps that was all that was intended for that journey.\n\nIn the end, he never got to stay home with his wife.  (I remember an episode where he actually remembered her as he had forgotten.)  According to Wikipedia, "The final episode was in fact intended to be an end-of-season cliffhanger, but after the series was not renewed by the network, it was re-edited to function as the series finale. This may account for some of its ambiguous nature. The original ending has Sam leaping into 1969 a mere minute or two after he and Al leapt out in the episode "M.I.A", to tell Al's first wife, Beth, that Al is coming home. His Vietnam-era picture begins to "leap" (this is where the final episode cuts off), and then we see a modern picture of Al sitting with Beth and their four daughters. This ending somehow made it out of the studio and has been circulated on the Internet. In the ending that was actually broadcast, we are told that Al was reunited with Beth, that they remain married, and that "Dr. Sam Becket [sic] never returned home."\n\nAlso, it mentions a show that I missed called "the Leap Back" in season 4 where Sam and Al switch roles after lightning strikes the Waiting Room. This allows Sam to return home to his wife, but when Al's is set to be killed by his lover's jealous ex-fiance, Sam must act as his hologram in order to save Al and continue to leap through time.

he moved to wichita because his mom and dad got a divorce. he was orginally going to stay in smallville but after the FBI guy beat him up and tired to get him to tell him about clark, he decided he should go with his mom so something like that wouldn't happen again. but i really wish he would come back because clark needs a "guy friend" because his dad is gone, plus lex and the green arrow aren't that great at the friend thing

I was wondering the same thing.  The last time they showed him he was in some van with the terrorists.  It showed his mother get killed but never showed what happened to him.  I kind of liked his character and wanted to know what happened.

No.\n\nThere is something often called "quantum teleportation," but it is much more analgous to a fax machine which send a set ot particle properties from one subatomic particle or atom, to another subatomic particle or atom. This is imporant work and will likely impact things like cryptography, but, despite the name which appears in popular accounts it is NOT teleportation in the Star Trek sense.\n\nEven in star trek they realize that it is fundamentally impossible to identify the position and location of each particle in a person accurately enough to be able to reconstruct it - hense the 'heisenberg compensator' they mention in some of the more recent shows.\n\nAlso the amount of energy in something the size of a person is enormous, more than all the nuclear weapons we have. (I'm guessing, but it is in that range.)\n\nSo, no, I would hope no one is working on this. At best, someone can be working on the physics which will lead to the physics that leads to the physics underlying such a device. Assuming such a device is even possible.

I posted an answer then I started thinking...\n\n...assuming Kelvin had been on the island for like two or three years, I doubt that Penny's father was bankrolling the experiment or using it as a punishment for Desmond. I think he truly ended up there by accident, possibly something to do with the magnetic properties of the island (and I liked that the magnetism that caused the crash opened up the storyline to the possibility of a new crash bringing in more characters one day...)\n\nHOWEVER, when Penny tracked Desmond down to the stadium (where he and Jack ended up running), she said, "If you have enough money and determination, you can find anyone." Maybe even enough money to have science monkeys in an igloo look for an electromagnetic signal?\n\nHow she knew to look for that is beyond me (whoops, that was your question, huh?)

Ashton Kutcher has his own production company, he's the one that plays Kelso.  He probably makes a lot more money than what they could offer them on the show.  Topher Grace has made the jump to movies.  Per an interview I saw, both Eric and Kelso will be in the shows final episodes this spring.\n\nI don't know about the new guy.\n\nSorry, misunderstood the question.  Eric is teaching in Africa and Kelso is away being a cop.  My question, whatever happened to Laurie?

You mean quantum teleportation? I can point you to some layman's sites explaining how it works. . . Keep in mind, you are only teleporting the state of the "matter" (the experiments I am aware of only move photon states, though in principle you could apply them to electrons and protons), not the energy itself. Also, entangling macroscopic quantities of matter with some stream that could teleport its state (making a copy at the other end) is currently an intractable engineering problem.

At the end of the book, Sam becomes a bird. At the end of the episode, Judith is turned to stone.

I did not see any of it coming, except for a few things I'd read about in the TV Guide.\n\nHowever, after last nights show I honestly believe that Jack's father is/was high up in the ranks of the Dharma Initative. It was all too obvious that the flashback, which was supposed to be Ana Lucia's deliberately focused on him.\n\nI'm dying to see the finale but I really don't want it to end for the season!!!

Elliot.....he needs to phone home!

Yeah, I thought CariDee was going home also.  So she couldn't speak the language they wanted her to, big freaking deal.  She still is one of the best ones on there.  I don't know who I think will go home.  Hopefully not one of the twins.

I watched it. House was shot twice and became delusional (so we thought). At the end it appeared that none of the delusions or anything else that happened during the show (except him being shot) was actually happening - when the show went off they were rolling him in to surgery. I expected so much more. \n\nPS The entire season of house will air this summer so you could probaly catch the episode again.

Are you kidding me?\n\nWho would find their socks?  Wash their socks?  Make the food?  Buy the food (chips and dip are NOT food groups)?\nWho would stay up till 1 o'clock finishing the science fair project?  Who would drive back and forth from home to the school to pick up clarinets and library books and permission forms?\nWHO I ask WHO?

a quantum leap is when an electron gets excited, moving it to the next energy level, and then falls back down.  This falling back down produces energy in the form of light. (this is the reason neon lights and similar lights light up, the electrons get excited by the electricity, and the process of them falling down produces energy in the form of light. The color is determined by which energy level it is falling from and into, and usually remains consistent for each element.) Well anyway, the electron jumping from one energy level to the next is called a 'quantum leap'

Maybe He has always just existed, or perhaps He originated from nowhere. Today, many quantum phenomenon involve particles appearing literally out of nowhere, and we take this as fact.  So, although contrary to common sense, it is not out of the question.

Oddly enough yes, but it freaked me out soo bad that by the time I could even mention it I failed to remember if anything freaky was going on in my life or in the house at that time.  What happened...\nMy girlfriend was staying over, we were in bed, all lights out.  I saw a young boy pass by the microwave(the clock was not visible when he passed) and disappear at the door to the living room.  He passed completely through the kitchen, approx. 10ft or so.  There was no one in my house it could have been, and to confirmed that I was not just merely hallucinating, right after the image vanished my girlfriend asked, "Did you see that?"  That all it took!  I was freaked out and freaked out a the mentioning of it for years.
