Quantum Teleportation Is Real, Here’s How It Works

Quantum teleportation, to space has finally been done ‘successfully.Which is super exciting, but it’s quantum -- which means we didn’t teleport a thing per se, but some data. Basically, Chinese scientists beamed photons from the ground to a satellite orbiting above the Earth; then they messed with them using quantum entanglement Entanglement, we’ve talked about before, Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance.” And it happens when you have two particles — usually photons – that are created together. They’re like twins, and their twinning can stretch across space and time –  when the scientists observed the spin of the Earth-photons they could also know the spin of the photons in space too! They spin in the exact same way! Even though there’s no physical connection between the two, they’re just… mimicking each other. How? No one knows. It’s, Spooky. Action. They’re like telepathic twins in different cities. Like me and Mark Ruffalo. In this case, the Chinese satellite …
