Quantum Teleportation and Future Posibilities

 

However, in an entangled pair of photons, both photons would have an opposite reaction to each other unlike the effect created by ESP; in other words, if an event was to happen to one of the entangled photons, the opposite of that event would happen to the other. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein said, illustrating the past example, to imagine that there are two prize wheels, in which both wheels have alternating red and blue panels, one in the North Pole and one in the South Pole. If one of the prize wheels were to be spun and it so happened to land on a red panel, than no matter what happens, the other prize wheel has to land on a blue panel and vice versa. In a real life example of this effect, if one were to send information through photon A then one would receive in photon B exactly what you sent through photon A. This will happen no matter how far away the entangled photons are, as long as the two particles are entangled with each other. This is why, as stated by NASA's Kennedy Space Center, quantum teleportation is crucial for space exploration simply because no matter how far away Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are from earth information can be sent or received by NASA and the satellites on earth instantaneously. One must remember though, that when sending information through photon A to photon B scientists are not making a copy of the information being sent, but destroying it and reconstructing that information in a different place. For better understanding of this process, picture photon A as a fax machine that shreds whatever is sent and photon B simply reconstructs whatever photon A has shredded.
             Physics, the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them, is a very difficult concept to understand; however it is important that scientist make the necessary advancements to make quantum teleportation a reality for it would bring many beneficial uses for the world and space exploration (PhysOrg).
