CAN TELEPORTATION TURN INTO REALITY?

For decades, people had dreamed of the technology which can transport them to somewhere else. A teleporting machine is a device that would bring you from point A to point B just in a snap of a finger.

But the main question remains the same: will this technology ever exist? And if yes, what would it look like?

What exactly is the teleportation concept?

Some say it is the famous expression, the quickest way from point A to point B in a straight line. And the idea of teleportation is no line.

Some say in the idea of teleportation, you are being beamed at one location and then beamed to another location instantaneously at the speed of light.

Some people believe that it is some device that we step into or step on, and when you arrive somewhere else usually a matching device where you rematerialize on that side.

There are so many movies that have been built around the theory of teleportation, like Tron (1982), Crosswords (1996), Galaxy Quest (1999), The One (2001). We have ‘Power Rangers’ where we watched teleportation for the first time as kids. But probably the most iconic representation of teleportation — the transporter in ‘Star Trek.’

Star Trek made us believe that teleportation could be the future of technology, something we wanted. And the idea of being able to get some place superfast is something we are all obsessed with.

But teleportation is one of those things that it is so far off as a technology to achieve, and those things are possible only in science fiction.

What is the aspect of a teleporter?

One of the most important aspects of a teleporter is that it must completely disassemble and reassemble you in the exact right place every time. But what would it take on a physics level to build a machine with that type of accuracy?

But when we talk about teleporting tiny things like a photon, that is possible with quantum entanglement. Sounds crazy? Isn’t it?

Teleportation is just an exaggeration of something which is possible, or is it completely impossible?

We cannot precisely visualize what teleportation technology would look like if the teleporting object is dematerialized down into atoms.

What if, at some point, we believe that the object is dematerialized down not in the form of atoms but in the form of a light beam? If we transport a light beam, we might end up in a scattered mess that would be bad.

Atoms act differently from light, so in theory, atoms will be less scattered going through the teleportation pathway; they are also easier to put back together. But, when scientists performed several experiments, they found that an atom can act as both waves and particles when in motion. And till this day, scientists have no clue why an atom can work both ways when in motion. Observing your atoms in action can change their destination, which would be bad for the person teleporting.

Conclusion:

So, we are still very far away from actually being able to teleport, but what if we could achieve almost the same experience without even leaving our homes?

Through 3D visual display goggles, one can immerse in new worlds. The experience of virtual reality is similar to teleportation.

Your body, consciousness, and awareness were somewhere else, and instantaneously; you are in a completely different environment.
