Is it possible for you to teleport from your place to another place? Imagine if you press a button and you can travel thousands of miles. No air travel, no traffic jams, no need to wait. Is this really true? Is there any scientific proof for this?
In this blog, I will explain it clearly.
Although this may sound like science-fiction, many scientists have been asking questions for many years.
Similarly, in the current situation, despite the technological updates, why is this not possible?
Teleportation in Fiction: Movies, Magic, and Gaming
This is often heard in the film industry, stories and gaming world.
- Star Trek – When people say “Beam me up, Scotty”, they transform into energy and arrive in a spaceship.
- The Fly – When a teleportation experiment goes wrong, DNA gets mixed up.
- Harry Potter – Wizards use Apparition to teleport magically.
In popular game Valorent:
- Yoru teleportation → Use rift to trick enemies.
- Omen teleportation → Vanish in the dark and appear anywhere instantly.
Although this is fiction, it creates curiosity in science.
The Science Behind Teleportation
As science says, teleportation technology does not teleport a person from one place to another. It transfers information. This is called information transfer.
In reality, Quantum Entanglement is happening here. In other words, two particles are connected to each other and no matter how far apart they are, when the state of one changes, the other also changes. In 2017, Chinese scientists teleported a photon to a satellite 1200 km away. In other words, a small-scale quantum teleportation experiment is possible.
Is Human Teleportation Possible?
Is Human teleportation possible? This is the question that has been asked in the era of technological advancement. If we ask this as a question, Human teleportation experiment? The answer to this is that 37 trillion cells in a human body need to be scanned and data transmitted, which is not possible with today’s technology. And another one is the original body needs to be destroyed and a new body need to created. Does it sound interesting? So the answer to the question of is teleportation possible is no.
Teleportation Technology Today
Although human teleportation does not exist, quantum teleportation is already revolutionizing the quantum communication field.
- Unhackable networks
- Secure communication
- Future banking & government data protection
Right now, only high speed teleportation is possible. It’s a pod that transports you from one place to another at high speed. That company was started by Richard Branson. Unfortunately, it’s shut down on 2023.
Teleportation vs. Fiction
Here’s where things get interesting. In fiction, teleportation is possible very quickly. If you get into a pod and press a button, if it doesn’t work, say a spell, and boom! You’re on the other side of the world. But in science, teleportation is not a human transfer, but rather a transfer of information to another place. This doesn’t diminish the excitement. You think about it like this: Was an airplane possible 500 years ago, humans hadn’t even thought of it, and isn’t it possible now? Similarly, it can’t be said that it’s impossible in the coming years.
Pop Culture Meets Science
The reason why teleportation is so fascinating to us is because it combines science and imagination. In the now very popular game Valorant, the agent Yoru teleports behind enemies and attacks them, and the character Omen can also teleport from one place to another. This is a question that everyone can feel when seeing. Movies like The Prestige, The Fly, and Star Trek encourage us to explore the dangers and possibilities of teleportation further.
Final Thoughts
Is teleportation possible? Yes, at least for particles, thanks to quantum physics and teleportation experiments. But for humans to travel from one place to another, in the current situation, it is only possible with cars, trains or airplanes. I believe that one day science fiction will become possible, because technology is moving very fast. Is the transportation we have now the same as it was 500 years ago? It will happen in the future as well.
