We have all wanted to teleport, It would be one of the most useful technologies of any century: Transportation fees and released smoke by cars and other transportation methods would drop down to a zero. Effective traveling would be in place, and the world may have an easier way to transport people out of the exosphere into places beyond. While not possible for humans yet, in the subatomic world it is very much possible. In the quantum world, the \u201cteleportation\u201d process involves the transportation of information from one object to another one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2019, scientists conducted a successful experiment testing such possibilities and found that quantum \u201cteleportation\u201d was indeed possible. These scientists managed to transfer information (which could be traded between photons) through computer chips when the photons were not even linked in any physical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physics Time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photons are subatomic particles that makeup light or any other radiation from the electromagnetic spectrum, whilst having no mass. Simplified, this means that on an atomic level with quarks (the things that makeup hadrons) Photons are any type of energy that is emitted from light or the E<\/strong>lectromagnetic S<\/strong>pectrum (Light is part of the ES, it is known as visible light. Infrared, X-Ray, and Ultraviolet are part of the ES.). To better understand the physics of relations between energy and mass, we will look into the faithful formula that Einstein blessed us with. E = mc2<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>. You know the formula that everyone memorizes, but doesn\u2019t care to understand. Yeah, that\u2019s the one. This equation describes how mass and energy are related by stating that Energy is the same as Mass multiplied by the speed of light (a constant) squared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we understand the physics behind this, we could talk about the future of teleportation. We could call teleportation in more technical terms: matter transference. The transfer of matter between two different places, however, as one may expect, the possible things that could go wrong are ample. You may come out dead, from the messed up transference of matter. The biggest problem would come from the source of energy, after all, only nuclear energy would be capable of long-distance teleportation. We may have to wait for nuclear energy to be more common than fossil fuels. Once that is popular, the chances of teleportation would be extremely high. If I had teleportation I would sleep in until the last minute, and maybe get some refreshing drinks along the way. What would you do with the newfound technology?<\/p>\n
