Is Teleportation Possible?

                                     

Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. Teleportation is often paired with time travel, being that the travelling between the two points takes an unknown period of time, sometimes being immediate.

There is no known physical mechanism that would allow for teleportation. Frequently appearing scientific papers and media articles with the term teleportation typically report on so-called "quantum teleportation". 



Quantum teleportation is different from regular teleportation, as it does not transfer matter from one place to another, but rather transmits the information necessary to prepare a resulting system in the same quantum state as the source system. 

Another way of teleportation is "Quantum Tunneling", as the name suggests its only for atoms and not for other huge things. Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where a wave can propagate through any barrier in its way. In this way atoms cannot teleport through long distances rather they can only teleport through or tunnel through a barrier of thickness no more than around 1–3 nm and smaller.

So at the end i can only say that atoms and other particles are more fortunate than us and we humans still can't teleport and for now teleportation is only possible on quantum levels not on human level.

What are Antiparticles? Is there something that we should worry about?

  Simply put , antiparticles are the opposite of the subatomic particles but with different charge and different magnetic properties . For example the antiparticle of electron is a particle with same mass but different charge , in this case positive charge and it is commonly referred to as Positron.. While the electron has a negative electric charge, the positron has a positive electric charge, and is produced naturally in certain types of radioactive decay . The opposite is also true , the antiparticle of the positron is the electron. Particle–antiparticle pairs can annihilate each other, producing photons ; since the charges of the particle and antiparticle are opposite, total charge is conserved. For example, the positrons produced in natural radioactive decay quickly annihilate themselves with electrons, producing pairs of gamma rays . It is not possible to create an antiparticle without either destroying another particle of the same charge (as is for instance the case when an...

Time Travel Paradoxes (Part-2)

 An another type of casual loop paradox is  "Predestination Paradox" 1.Predestination Paradox   A Predestination paradox  occurs when the actions of a person traveling back in time becomes part of past events, and may ultimately causes the event he is trying to prevent to take place. This results in a ‘temporal causality loop’ in which Event 1 in the past influences Event 2 in the future (time travel to the past) which then causes Event 1 to occur. Suppose one day your brother dies in a hit and run car accident , and to prevent this you travel back in time and reaches the place to stop your brother but accidently you hit your brother with the car and realizes that the person who hit your brother was not someone else but you. You wanted to save your brother but you were destined to complete the loop and kill your brother. 2.Killing Hitler Paradox This paradox is quite similar to the Grandfather Paradox but this has a huge effect on everyone in the world rather than ju...

Let's move the solar system - Stellar Engine

Ever thought of if we made contact with other intelligent life form , how are we gonna meet them physically with all the humans on earth? Don't worry there is a solution , and it is "Stellar Engine". Now what is a stellar engine? Simply put it is a hypothetical megastructure which uses a star's energy to propel or move the star and as the star moves the other planets will also move due the gravity of the star. The concept of Stellar engine was first introduced by Badescu and Cathcart. There are three classes of stellar engines : 1.Class A - Shkadov thruster One of the simplest examples of a stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster, or a Class A stellar engine. Such an engine is a stellar propulsion system, consisting of an enormous mirror/light sail—actually a massive type of solar statite large enough to classify as a megastructure—which would balance gravitational attraction towards and radiation pressure away from the star. Since the radiation pressure of the star wo...
