Teleportation : Immortal life of discoveries.
Ever since the wheel was invented more than 5,000 years ago, people have been inventing new ways to travel faster from one point to another. The chariot, bicycle, automobile, airplane and rocket have all been invented to decrease the amount of time we spend getting to our desired destinations. Yet each of these forms of transportation share the same flaw: They require us to cross a physical distance, which can take anywhere from minutes to many hours depending on the starting and ending points.
According to parapsychologists and ghost hunters, an apport is the paranormal transference of an article from one place to another,
Paranormal is a general term (coined ca. 1915–1920[1][2]) that designates experiences that lie outside "the range of normal experience or scientific explanation"[3] or that indicates phenomena that are understood to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure.[1][4] Paranormal phenomena are distinct from certain hypothetical entities, such as dark matter and dark energy, insofar as paranormal phenomena are inconsistent with the world as already understood through empirical observation coupled with scientific methodology.[5]
But what if there were a way to get you from your home to the supermarket without having to use your car, or from your backyard to the International Space Station without having to board a spacecraft? There are scientists working right now on such a method of travel, combining properties of telecommunications and transportation to achieve a system called teleportation. In this article, you will learn about experiments that have actually achieved teleportation with photons, and how we might be able to use teleportation to travel anywhere, at anytime.
In cinemas……Many of us were introduced to the idea of teleportation, and other futuristic technologies, by the short-lived Star Trek television series (1966-69) based on tales written by Gene Roddenberry. Viewers watched in amazement as Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy and others beamed down to the planets they encountered on their journeys through the universe.
Wormholes and dematerialising
There are essentially two ways in which fictional teleportation devices work: "dematerialising" and "wormhole".
Dematerialising
The "dematerialising" version is used in Star Trek or Doctor Who. In this idea, the person or device "teleported" is dematerialised, possibly by an external device, and transmitted as data, possibly to a receiving device, and reconstructed there. In the Star Trek universe the common use of this device is to transport from orbit to a nearby planet, and faster-than-light transmission is not necessary.
The use of this form of teleportation to transport humans would have considerable unresolved technical problems, such as recording the human body with sufficient precision to allow reproduction elsewhere. The uncertainty principle alone would appear to provide an insurmountable barrier.
if a person is scanned and reproduced, they could presumably make multiple copies. It would also present the philosophical problem of whether destroying a human in one place and recreating a copy elsewhere would provide a sufficient continuity of existence. Many of the relevant questions are shared with the concept of mind transfer.
Wormhole or gateway
A wormhole is a hypothetical shortcut through space and time, which is proposed to allow transit that is not locally faster than light (thereby saving conformity with accepted science) but which nonetheless allows near-instant transport between points potentially many light-years apart.
Sometimes the fiction allows wormhole pairs to be created that allow instant transport between them, but the "far end" of the wormhole still has to be transported at sub-light speeds in accordance with the normal laws of physics, for example in The Stone Canal [4] or The Algebraist.
In more esoteric fiction, the wormholes may even connect entirely different universes. Such a mechanism may also be used in theories about time travel.
To find the possibility …..In 1993, the idea of teleportation moved out of the realm of science fiction and into the world of theoretical possibility. It was then that physicist Charles Bennett and a team of researchers at IBM confirmed that quantum teleportation was possible, but only if the original object being teleported was destroyed. This revelation, first announced by Bennett at an annual meeting of the American Physical Society in March 1993, was followed by a report on his findings in the March 29, 1993 issue of Physical Review Letters. Since that time, experiments using photons have proven that quantum teleportation is in fact possible.
Quantum teleportation is the transferring of tiny units of computer information, called quantum bits or qubits, from one location to another. The technology is referred to as a type of teleportation because the information teleported behaves more like an object than normal information. It is quantum information, which cannot be copied and cannot appear at the new location without being destroyed at the old location.Scientists treat quantum information as if it were an object. The fact that the information cannot be conveyed without first being destroyed also differentiates quantum teleportation from faxing a document, which makes an imprecise replica of the original at another location and leaves the original intact.
