    Light
In summary, this conversation is discussing the possibility of teleporting. If we figure out how to use light to teleport, that wouldn't be teleporting because light takes time to travel. Gravity is not an instantaneous force, so we can't send information between two points instantaneously. Einstein and Galileo's theories were all shot down at first, so people should think beyond these "verified theories".

if we figured out how to use light to teleport, that wouldn't be teleporting because light takes time to travel. do you think if there was a way to use gravity, that we could somehow teleport? because gravity is an instantanious force. it acts immediately, whereas light takes time to get from source to destination. I read this article by this physician and she was talking about how they think gravity could be another dimension we haven't even began to comprehend yet. for every force there's an equal and opposite one right? what's the opposite of gravitational pull? we could learn to jump from one planet to another, and maybe figure out more about black holes because that's pretty much all about gravity. does anybody else here think outside the box instead of repeating what they hear? Einstein and Galileo's theories were all shot down at first. I just think people should think beyond these "verified theories". If this is the wrong forum section, sorry, but could you at least please direct me where people will actually listen and think about new things instead of shooting everything down they haven't heard of or even thought about before?

instead of freakin out and locking this thread, could at least explain why you don't think we could use gravity?

Gravity is not an instantaneous force. It propagates at the same speed as light.

are you proposing we turn people into photons and gravitons, send them off to wherever, and then change them back into people? in anycase... like phlog said gravity isn't instantaneous, in fact you can't send information between two point instantaneously according to special relativity... I am afraid that of all the sci fi mumbo jumbo, time travel... invisibility... we are probably farthest from teleportation... if special relativity remains true than the laws of physics prohibit it all together, but perhaps if we can "photocopy" a person, copy every atom and its quantum states, and then kill the original... maybe that'll work... but I prefer throwing smoke bombs and running away

And I might point out that a physician has no business offering 'professional' comments about physics. I'm sure that she'd be reputable in her field, but I'd rather trust my own doctor than someone who espouses psychoceramics without any background in the subject.
 

FAQ: Could gravity be the key to teleportation and understanding black holes?

How does light teleportation work?

Light teleportation involves using quantum entanglement to transfer information from one location to another. Two particles are entangled, meaning they share a connection, and the state of one particle can affect the state of the other instantly, regardless of distance.

Can we teleport physical objects using light?

At this time, it is not possible to teleport physical objects using light. Light teleportation only transfers information, not physical matter. However, scientists are researching ways to potentially teleport small particles in the future.

What is the potential impact of light teleportation on communication?

Light teleportation has the potential to greatly enhance communication technology. It could allow for instant communication over long distances, without the need for physical cables or satellites. This could greatly improve global communication and information sharing.

Is light teleportation safe?

Light teleportation is a safe and secure method of transferring information. As the information is transmitted through quantum entanglement, it cannot be intercepted or tampered with by outside sources.

Are there any limitations to light teleportation?

Currently, the main limitation of light teleportation is the distance over which it can be achieved. Quantum entanglement can only maintain its connection over short distances, so light teleportation is limited to relatively close locations. However, as technology advances, this limitation may be overcome.
