VIDEO: Is Teleportation Real?!

What are your thoughts on teleportation? Well, this video might be proof that it is a real thing!

Watch carefully what happens just seconds before the truck would crash into the motorcyclist. Out of nowhere, the rider disappears and a second later appears on the other side of the street completely unharmed! It is certainly something unusual.

According to Wikipedia, teleportation or teletransportation is the theoretical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. It is a common subject in science fiction literature, film, video games, and television.

Since 1993, teleportation has become a hot topic in quantum mechanics, namely state, energy and particle teleportation.

The earliest recorded story of a “matter transmitter” was Edward Page Mitchell’s “The Man Without a Body” in 1877.

In episode 20 of the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson children’s program, Fireball XL5, produced in 1962 before the advent of Star Trek and its ‘transporter’, the Nutopians have a “matter transporter” used to dematerialise and rematerialise people between the planet and an alien ship not unlike the later transporter of Star Trek fame.

In the Star Trek transporter, which brought the concept of teleportation into popular knowledge, two essential stages of the process are dematerialization and rematerialization; created in an era before any CGI was possible. The visual effects communicating these processes to the spectators “were created by dropping tiny bits of aluminum foil and aluminum perchlorate powder against a black sheet of cardboard, and photographing them illuminated from the side by a bright light. […] In the studio lab, after the film was developed, the actors were superimposed fading out and the fluttering aluminum fading in, or vice versa.” According to an informal survey carried out by Lawrence M. Krauss on his campus “the number of people in the United States who would not recognize the phrase ‘Beam me up, Scotty’ is roughly comparable to the number of people who have never heard of ketchup.”

Scientists believe it is not possible to teleport macroscopic objects such as human beings, but there may be teleportation in the microscopic world. Three possible kinds of teleportation in quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics have been proposed: state teleportation, energy teleportation, and particle teleportation.

In 1993, Bennett et al proposed that a quantum state of a particle could be teleported to another distant particle, but the two particles do not move at all. This is called state teleportation. There are a lot of following theoretical and experimental papers published. Researchers believe that quantum teleportation is the foundation of quantum calculation and quantum communication.

In 2008, M. Hotta proposed that it may be possible to teleport energy by exploiting quantum energy fluctuations of an entangled vacuum state of a quantum field. There are some papers published but no experimental verification.

In 2016, Y. Wei proposed that particles themselves could teleport from one place to another. This is called particle teleportation. With this concept, Superconductivity can be viewed as the teleportation of some electrons in the superconductor and superfluidity as the teleportation of some of the atoms in the cellular tube. Physicists are trying to verify this concept experimentally.
