I’mtalking about Luc Montagnier, the guy that first isolated HIV. He recently “published” this [load of crap](http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.5166) that seems to claim that the information from DNA can be teleported from one place to another.

Is there any reasonable explanation for this other than the guy is a binaries scam artist? Can I expect him to be endorsing HIV curing magnets anytime soon?
