Are You Ready To Be Teleported To Another Galaxy?
If you think "Beam Me Up Scotty" is a silly Startrek fantasy, meet Christopher Monroe of the Joint Quantum Institute, who has teleported an atom a distance of one meter.
Scientists are making progress with a process called "quantum entanglement", which may someday allow us to teleport an object all the way across the galaxy.
Quantum entanglement occurs even faster than the speed light, so objects could possibly be transmitted very long distances instantly.
According to the theory, when two electrons are placed close to each other, they vibrate at the same rate. You can then separate the electrons, and then will continue to match each other's vibration rate.
Christopher Monroe of the Joint Quantum Institute has been able to "entangle" two atoms approximately one meter away from each other.
This technology is in it's infancy and has a long way to go, but the possibilities it presents are intriguing.
