Teleportation Essay -- Science

Teleportation Imagine a world without traffic jams; where there would be no worries about travel schedules and above all no public appraisals from the boss for coming late to work! Time would finally be stricken off the banal list of worries. This impossible to hit pitch however, lies in a plane where platitude is not well taken. This plane is one where advanced physics and quantum mechanics form frightening webs of reason for everything that happens in that other world - where we live. At other times the alien-like scientists that inhabit these planes have abducted us to conduct all kinds of meaningless experiments on us. However, this time its different; they have, arguably, after a long gap given us, the outsiders, something to marvel at – teleportation. Teleportation is ‘Star Trek’ demystified. It is the phenomenon where a physical body disintegrates and then comes together at another preplanned position. That position, as we may already start to dream, could be a cubicle in an office, a classroom or perhaps even someone’s bedroom! Leaving the other two alone, the third one could become a problem of gigantic proportions. I mean, how would you like if a stranger appears in your bedroom when you are looking your worst, wearing that ghastly gown, and trying to entertain yourself by looking at that old wig that you wear to work everyday? If you could take some time off being embarrassed, you would probably notice that this person could also be trying to get away with that rare piece of china that you actually got from China! And going back to China doesn’t sound like a good idea does it? That however, is also an aspect of our little miracle from the ‘other’ world. All synthetic phenomena have various aspects that may only be understood by a better understanding of the phenomenon itself. Here as the research journals of I.B.M. tell us – teleportation is the name given by science fiction writers to the feat of making an object or person disintegrate in one place while a perfect replica appears somewhere else. Dr. Samuel L. Braunstein of University of New Mexico gives us something simpler – teleportation is some kind of ‘disembodied’ transport. The actual process of this transport is not easy to understand for a person from our world. And that is precisely why I must make a fool of myself trying to make you understand it. After all I get my support... ...ll not care to explain. I am not 21 yet and know nothing about drinking†¦ so beat it! This regulation must include provisions for making excuses of traffic when one wants to and also that no good looking blonde will ever be allowed to teleport. Apart from these we can trust the federal government to come up with the most irrelevant and archaic law they can. The laws would be made and the souls would be teleported and the debate will arise, but only after our little hypothesis comes true in our lifetimes. And even if it does, they would fax all the Hollywood stars, the Democrats and the billionaires before our turn comes. Not to mention how much it’d cost. In fact, let us spare a moment to calculate how much this whole human faxing will hurt the old glass jar. For this we must consider two important possibilities. One, that it will most certainly be patented. And two, whoever cares to patent this technology, which without any exaggeration can be described as the ‘goose that lays golden eggs’, would not sell it for peanuts. So there go the dreams. Even if teleportation happens tomorrow, you are not going! There is however a small ray of hope†¦ Jack had stolen the golden goose!
