the.com/teleportation
Moving stuff by destroying it here and rebuilding it there, perfectly, instantly.
means The (still hypothetical) act of transporting matter or a person instantly from one place to another without crossing the space in between.
from Coined in the 1930s by writer Charles Fort, who smashed together the Greek 'tele-' (far off, as in telephone or television) with the Latin 'portare' (to carry, the root of transport and porter). He needed a word for the odd vanishings and reappearances of objects he collected in his books of strange phenomena — science fiction borrowed it soon after and never gave it back.
- actual science
- quantum teleportation moves information, not matter
- the catch
- original copy must be destroyed to work
- current record
- particles teleported over 1,200 km via satellite
- your body
- would need 10^28 bits of data transmitted
