Let’s Begin…
Is teleportation possible? Could a baseball transform into something like a radio wave, travel through buildings, bounce around corners, and change back into a baseball? Oddly enough, thanks to quantum mechanics, the answer might actually be yes... sort of! Sajan Saini explains.
One of the postulates in Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity asserts that nothing can move faster than the speed of light. Does quantum teleportation violate this postulate? Why or why not?
