What's new

NASA Announcement/Discovery

That kind of entanglement based teleportation is probably not possible for transference of physical goods. Let me dig in my post history to find where I explained the phenomenon since I don't have as much time to explain now.



So the "teleportation" of properties across two particles happens instantaneously, and not at the speed of light. However, information is bound by the speed of light. You can't just entangle the particles of a human being and teleport them to a different place. What you'll get is a particle soup with similar properties, which doesn't really help. For teleportation to work, one side has to know the exact attributes of the particles in a person, and their relation to one another, transmit the information to the receiver, and then have the receiver construct a new human. I guess it is similar to the method used in Star Trek.

But the computing power and general level of technology required to do this is unfathomable. It won't happen in the next few decades, and I doubt it happens in the next few centuries. By the time humanity is able to teleport matter across such distances on such scales, off-Earth expansion will have become trivial eons before.


Guess Siro beat me to it, LOL. Nice job.
 
What scientists refer to as "quantum teleportation" is light years away from what lay people think of as teleportation. Don't hold your breath.

I will take your and Siro's word on it lol.
