we need teleportation frankly

    See, that’s the problem with modern science reporting. People are so easily confused.

    No. We have never teleported atoms.

    We did the equivalent of a fax machine.

    We took an atoms current state, sent that information down traditional communication lines, and copied it’s state perfectly to another atom.

    They call it Quantum Teleportation, but it has nothing to do with Sci-Fi teleportation as most people think of it.

      Ok I have come to realize that lemmy is literally no better than reddit when it comes to people who are so arrogant in their ignorance.

      Imposing a quantum state on remote matter is the ONLY way teleportation will work. The ‘faxing’ is exactly what large scale teleportation would consist of for every particle state that composes the entity being transported.

      You don’t literally send the same particles, you use the particles at the destination to reassemble the original.

      Previously I thought it was just reddit that had gotten worse in the last 10 years but I’ve come to understand it’s just the internet in general.

      Sure as fuck wish I could go back to the internet before smartphones so all you fuckdamn idiots would stop wasting my time.
