BREAKING NEWS: Teleportation Has Been Achieved
I just HATE having to drive across town to pick up things I need for the house, don’t you? Well, that’s a thing of that past, as the age of physically transporting matter from one place to the other is no more!

Ok, so that statement might be jumping the gun a little bit, but Chinese scientists have made big moves forward in figuring out how to teleport matter over long distances!
In a situation referred to as “quantum entanglement”, two photons are formed at the same instant and place in space, hence they share the same existence. The identities of the photon is “downloaded” at the receiving location (in this case, a satellite in space) where the identifying characteristics are set and linked to the second photon, which takes on the identity of the first.
Obviously, there are a lot of steps that need to be taken before we’re shipping cargo across the globe in a matter of seconds, but it’s intriguing science nonetheless.

Thanks for reading!
I went and read the article and teleportation is accomplished in a way I would have never thought of. When people are asked what superpower they want to have you get the standard. I have always wanted to be able to teleport ever since I saw Star Trek as a kid. It would literally open up the universe to us. Not to mention, I would love to see my parents every day.
Nice catch and share! Ty.
Thanks for the comment! I agree, I would love to see teleportation like they show on TV, but sadly that will have to wait for now. As for superpowers, I always thought I would go with mind reading, but teleportation is another good one worthy of consideration. I could only imagine what it would be like to travel places in an instant!
Not only in an exploratory function, but real teleportation would change our world in an instant. Hard to imagine what that might look like in everyday life.
Mind reading would be an interesting superpower too. I do agree teleportation would be life changing. It would affect every industry in the world just like the blockchain!
I actually read about this today lol. they Teleported a photon 314 miles to space. Thanks for the read.
