Teleportation

In 1931, Charles Fort, an American writer, tried to describe the random disappearances and appearances of different anomalies. He felt that these sudden disappearances and appearances were connected and therefore felt that they were "teleporting." While he came up with this theory to try and explain why certain paranormal phenomena acted, many suggest that Fort probably didn't subscribe to the theory and was using it as a way of suggesting mainstream science didn't provide enough information on why these phenomena happened.

Dematerialising

This is the transmission of data from one area and then the reconstruction of that object at its final destination. This is a theory that is presented in Star Trek when the individuals are "beamed down" to the planet. While the uncertainty principle suggests that humans are unable to be dematerialized because rebuilding their body as perfectly as they had previously been is nearly impossible.

However, in 1998, scientists at Caltech were able to make a true teleportation occur. This resulted in energy being transmitted from one point to another with a distance of about one meter. While the scientists admit that it was only one meter, they argue that they feel they could make the energy transmit to distances much larger.

Dimensional Teleportation

This theory of teleportation suggests that an object existing in one universe leaves that universe, enters another one and then returns to the original, but in a different place. However, this theory is not considered often because it goes against the argument that time travel is not possible.

Wormhole

According to some, a wormhole is a shortcut through time and space. It is suggested that an individual could go into a wormhole and this would be the "effective" method of getting from point A to point B without needing any form of time travel machines. However, little is known about whether these wormholes actually exist or not.

Is Teleportation Possible?

Teleportation has always been a sign of intrigue in the science fiction world; however, there is still little research available to suggest whether teleportation is actually possible. There have been successful experiments, though, that suggest that teleportation is possible. However, since this is only energy, it is argued that it would take a considerable amount of time to create a method of teleporting an individual. Even then, there are so many theories that suggest that it is impossible because regnerating a human would be nearly impossible.
