Teleportation

Semnae:
Yes! They have done it! It's actually old news. The article was published in 2007, but it's the first I've heard about it. In this experiment, a photon was teleported 144km, to another island. This hasn't been tried on anything more complicated than photons, but just the idea of being able to teleport matter is very exciting.

i'll start celebrating when i get a tardis.

Burkingam:
Don't get too excited over what can be done by quantum physicians. Quantum particles can be at more than one place at a time or nowhere or even everywhere (in theory). What's possible at this level isn't necessarily possible on a macroscopic level.

kitamesume:
i'd start clapping when they teleport a banana and its still edible, i mean *cough* steins;gate *cough*.

Why is that? We are all made of quantum particles after all. Why are these properties lost as things get bigger?
