View Full Version : Teleportation: Sci-Fi or real life?

So, after years of tests and improvements, and a whole new groundbreaking way of using lasers to read and transfer quantum information has lead to the ability to "teleport" particles from one place to another....
it started with being able to move one or 2 particles about an inch or so...
now they can do it over a few feet....

they use lasers to make readings and calculations of the object on the quantum level, then on the other side, an exact duplicate is created....

the one fundamental flaw... it's not you moving, it's actually just a copy.

These breakthroughs have created a new way of sending more information [data] faster and over a greater distance with accuracy. It will lead to a huge rise in microship technology, and the whole tech industry.

Do some searching in google... it's pretty cool!

Probably watched Heroes every Monday night, like I have. I think it's a good show. As for Star Trek, and teleportation, the Japanese guy (the teleporter man who accidentally wound up a month too far in the future) and his nerd friend are so funny. "Give him the Death Grip!" he yells as Hiro gets dragged back to his cubicle by his supervisor, hahah!!

if its just a copy, then its not a teleporter...its a replicator, or a duplicator, or whatever u wanna call it...thats bad...

ps: star treks cool!!! i have a giant blinking light hard poster on my wall...wut now?!

the problem is to duplicate a large object, you have to do it one particle at a time...

no, the problem is youre duplicating, not teleporting...say you were to do this to a living organism...wouldnt that be cloning?

basically, but you would have to dissasemble to make the clone... so theoretically it's possible...

kinda scary because one of the principals of quantum mechanics is the uncertanty theory... so it's hard to understand how you can basically "give a shape to something we know nothing about".

But they have been able to teleport atoms filled with thousands of particles in them several feet, and they came out correct and identical on the other side...

I would post the link, but it's pretty interesting how they did it.

Wait. So can you duplicate objects?? Because I wouldn't mind having 2 Civics....

you'd need a huge amount of storage space to store human dna, not to mention all the other cells that make up your body.


once we have it we can store ourselfs, onto a "hard drive" and program it to regenerate years later...

i never could get into star trek for some reason. just boring to me really
