Teleportation
iindigo:
Even if teleportation of living objects never happens, the idea of ordering something from Amazon and having it arrive in on my teleport pad in an hour or two is tantalizing.

Don't black holes teleport stuff all the time by string theory?

Hopefully before they invent teleporters we will have replicators and be able to pirate physical objects.

In theory, most commonly its thought that they "teleport" matter into another dimension. At least as best as I can remember.
At any rate, whatever goes through a blackhole is torn to pieces. The matter comes out, but thats it; the matter.

The practical application of this will be in communication. Communication to just the other side of the planet here can take several seconds (those who watch world news will have seen this), but communicating to Mars takes several minutes. I think its applications will be in low latency communication.
