As cool as teleportation is, i would never personally use it. For all that i know, the moment i teleport for the first time there could be a malfunction and i could be terribly forgeted up. Or what if the teleporter wipes my sentience, yes it can teleport the body to the other side of the world but of what use is that to me if i cannot live after that, even if i did have my sentience, is it really the original me, or the clone me made by the teleporter... |

| HypnoT:
They didn't teleport an object, they beamed (read: lasered) a bunch of paired photons that have been split on earth up to a satellite then measured the paired photon on earth and did the same thing on the satellite in a way that they were able to instantly transfer bit-sized data to the satellite via quantum teleportation. Big step but note they still had to beam the photons up which is subject to interference and is limited by the speed of light; they also had to beam up millions of photons and only a hundred or so of those photons tested positive for quantum teleportation effect. |
