Yes that's true - although the scientists and media can be accused of stretching the word "teleport" beyond its original or general meaning. It's more accurate to consider one photon puffing out of existance and simulatneously an identicle, second photon puffing into existance elsewhere - rather than a single photon actually moving from one place to another.Did you know they teleported a photon and more recently an atom???
Well that's not quite right either. Nothing really poofs into and out of existance. They are just intrinsicly linked through a weird phenomonon called entanglement. The particles act like evil twins for the entire time they exist. Their spins are always opposite. No matter how far apart they are.Blob wrote:Yes that's true - although the scientists and media can be accused of stretching the word "teleport" beyond its original or general meaning.

Another thing to note is that according to quantum theories all photons and fundamental particles "jump" small distances all the time anyway. Things do not glide smoothly like on our scale of things.
Some questions about sealand.Blob wrote:The Principality of Sealand
"Sealand was founded as a sovereign Principality in 1967 in international waters, six miles off the eastern shores of Britain. The official language of Sealand is English and the Sealand Dollar has a fixed exchange rate of one U.S. dollar. Passports and stamps have been in circulation since 1969."

"Sealand is occupied by the family and associates of Paddy Roy Bates. The population of the facility rarely exceeds five, and its inhabitable area is 550 m²."
