In this paper deals with the nature of the liar paradox as a cognitive entity, a consistently testable configuration of properties. It elaborates a quantum mechanical model that has been proposed to analyze the dynamics involved, and focuses on the interpretation and concomitant philosophical picture. Some conclusions favor an effective realistic interpretation of cognitive reality.

Recent nonlocality results support a new picture of reality built on the ideas of John von Neumann.

Recently it was claimed in the press that "quantum teleportation has been achieved in the laboratory'' (T. Sudbery, Nature, 390, p. 551). Here, the author briefly reviews this research focusing on the connection to nonlocal measurements, and question Sudbery's statement. A philosophical inquiry about the paradoxical meaning of teleportation in the framework of the many-worlds interpretation is added.
