The name of this website should be changed to "sciencefiction forums". I don't mind educating profoundly ignorant people, however, you people don't want to be educated since you prefer to be profoundly ignorant. It would not be possible for you to ever be educated or be raised above your current level of profound ignorance so there's nothing I can do to help you.

If you read the posts by this person called "One" then you see why I used the language I used before. It's just exasperating. You can't talk sense into these people. It's very unfortunate that the word "teleportation" was ever used to refer to this quantum entanglement phenomenon. I wish they had called it something else. You can tell that everyone else on this board sincerely believes that this has something to do with Star Trek teleportation. That is what everyone in the world other than a few quantum mechanics researchers mean by the word. No photon was ever "teleported" in the sense that everyone on this board is using the word. The fact that in an unfortunate coincidence, the word "teleport" appeared in a scientific paper is more than enough excuse for the nutcases out there to say that we are on the road that will lead to Star Trek transporters. There are so many ignorant people out there who know nothing about science, but think they do just because they watch science-fiction, which isn't any more scientific than any other work of fantasy. There are people against human cloning just because they are confusing it with science-fiction cloning. I don't know how to get it through these people's skulls. If you think "teleportation", in the sense that everyone uses the word, will ever be possible, then you are a total idiot. No one has "teleported" a photon or anything else, nor will any such thing ever happen.

Oh Jesus Christ....I know infinitely more about Bell's Inequality than you, and I don't use the phrase "quantum teleportation" since it confuses uneducated people. I've written extensively about this subject. In the so-called EPR paradox, information could be said to instantly transfer from one location to another. It does not involve a particle instantly disappearing from one location and reappearing at another location. If you look at the other messages in this thread people are talking about "teleporting atoms". These people are not talking about anything having to do with quantum mechanics or entangled wavefunctions. They are talking Star Trek, which is what 99.9% of people think of when they hear the word "teleportion". Gene Roddenberry just made that up, because it was such a low budget show, he couldn't afford to show the shuttle landing, taking off, every time someone had to go to a planet. It would have taken too much time out of a one hour show to do that every single time the characters went from the ship to the planet, and vice versa. So he just made up a thing where matter magically disappears and reappears at a different location. It's not different than the TV shows Hercules and Xena where the gods could disappear and reappear somewhere else. That is utterly impossible, and will always be impossible. That is what everybody else is talking about.

No such thing has ever been done, nor will ever be done, since it's impossible. No one has ever claimed that any such thing has ever been done. You watch too much Star Trek. "Teleportation" is a flight of fancy made up by Gene Roddenbury. No such thing will ever exist since it's impossible.

You're a moron. Anyone who thinks there's such a thing as "teleportation" is retarded. http://www.geocities.com/jefferywinkler
