You might be right but most technological advancements have come by stimulation of creativity and inspiration from Hollywood movies and scifi novels. smiley

Sometimes I too wonder if there's a difference between Deep Space and Normal Outer Space or if Space is Space.

I guess I'm onto too much weed undecided

No boss. You're just onto too much thinking. Give the brain some rest. smiley

I agree with you bro, the next question is how we will evolve? Either by technological advancements, genetic engineering or natural selection

humans have already started evolving way way back. Babies are born with eyes closed and remain so for some days but these days the come with eyes wide open. Just my observation tho.

Could you clarify more on worm holes nd the technicalities of teleportation travel. Fyi I'm a science geek oooo.

A wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that could possibly connect very far distances in the universe through a turnel-like shortcut thereby making space travel shorter. It is a prediction of general relativity made by Eistein and Rosen.

This eistein-rosen bridge (as they are generally known) if they exist, are believed to have two ends or two mouths with a throat connecting them. The mouths would most likely be spheroidal. The throat might be a straight stretch, but it could also wind around, taking a longer path than a more conventional route might require.

Wormholes have never been observed in the universe, although they are a mathematical solution to einsteins field equations. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by.

wormholes bring with them the dangers of sudden collapse, high radiation and dangerous contact with exotic matter.

As for teleportation, scientists have suceeded in teleporting a photon across a river before, its known as quantum teleportation. But as for teleporting a human, quantum physicists believe it would take 200 million years to teleport a single person, even if the rate is 1 trillion atoms per second, even at that the energy required would be more than 10^12 gigawatt hours for 1 human, and then even if you teleport them, it would be just a copy, not the original being.

For now, teleportation is quite not feasible, i wouldnt want to use impossible.

I hope this is not too long.

Wow. I usually confused wormhole with blackholes
The part you said about teleportation 200 million years. Are you serious?? That means something like quantum teleportation cant be used to transport a human from one planet 2 anoda across vast space

No it cant.......teleporting humans is millions of years ahead of our current technological capabilities. We cant even quantum teleport atoms yet.

Blackholes are'nt nice atall, they literally do not allow anything escape once in them, not even light. Ive heard of ideas that black holes are turnels to other universes. undecided

I think I've come across one theory about black holes being portals for traveling back in time because they mimic a reversal of the outward expansion of the universe.

Happy New Year ChiChilolo (I actually do find your moniker quite interesting).

This is wishing that you enjoy newer trips and an all year round voyage experiences to other interplanetary precincts.


Will you be boarding any of the crafts from SpaceX or MarsOne any time soon?

Physicists Achieve Quantum Teleportation of Photon Over 25 Kilometers

PHYSICS
Physicists Achieve Quantum Teleportation of Photon Over 25 Kilometers
University of Geneva
ADVERTISMENT

For the first time, a team of physicists have successfully teleported a quantum state of a photon to a crystal over 25 kilometers away through a fiber optic cable. This effectively showed that the photon’s quantum state, not its composition, is important to the teleportation process. The team was led by Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva and the results were published in the journal Nature Photonics. With this new paper, Gisin’s team has successfully squashed the previous record they set a decade ago by teleporting a quantum state of a proton 6 kilometers.

The quantum state of the photon is able to preserve information under extreme conditions, including the difference between traveling as light or becoming stored in the crystal like matter. The photon’s state acts as information that can be teleported along great distances using the optical fiber, and can be stored within the crystal. This was achieved due to a phenomenon in quantum mechanics known as entanglement, where two particles have a correlation, despite the fact that they aren’t touching and transmitting information to one another.

To test this and ensure what they were ....

Even though I come to this thread VERY late I really appreciate all of you guys. I never knew that there were so many Nigerians out there asking questions about the great unknown.
Personally I'd suggest we form a WhatsApp group so we can keep each other updated on science stuff and also as a network for the scientific mind to extend its reach. Who's in?
