Royce Period 5 Kile, Emon, and Julia Post #3

Teleportation requires the destruction of an object's exact atomic configuration, while simultaneously, the same atomic configuration is being created somewhere else. Physicist Charles Bennett introduced the idea of teleportation when he figured out how to do so with a single photon. Although it is possible to teleport a single photon, it is highly unlikely that it will ever be possible to teleport a living being because the atomic configuration would be too complicated to destroy and remake at the same time. Teleportation would also require a device to destroy the being in one place, and then remake it in another place.

Teleportation is common is science fiction/ fantasy movies, but unfortunately, it will never be so in real life. As a group, we originally thought teleporters could someday be possible, but after researching the topic, every source told us that humans and other living creatures will never be teleportable. All 3 of the members of our group did research and all of us worked well together.
