TELEPORTATION and TIME TRAVEL! By: Kathryn Hetzendorfer
Many people think of the future as spaceships flying around the city and living on the moon or maybe another planet, but that would be far in the future even for how fast technology has been advancing in the last couple decades.Time travel on the other hand, is even closer than most people believe.Since as long as technology has been going strong, people have been dreaming of a day when we will be able to time travel and “teleport”. This idea might be even closer than spaceships as cars.
In the last 5 to 10 years, researchers have been working on the theory of teleportation, and have actually had some success with the idea.Although it is not much compared to where scientists are hoping to get, they have been able to transport beams of light and ion atoms from one side of a lab to the other successfully.
Although teleportation seems like something that would be amazing to try out, it could also be extremely dangerous.The way that it actually works is destroying the original of the person or thing and making an exact copy with the same kind of molecules in a different place.Right now, scientists are working on actually being able to transport the same molecules from one place to another without destroying anything, and get a lower failure rate then 2/3, but even that seems to be far in the future.
Not only will teleportation affect the “scientific world” but it could change how we live and work everyday.Imagine being able to live in the U.S., but work in Paris.Or maybe you decided to take a quick vacation across the world without any warning.The idea of teleporting would make both of these ideas – and more – possible.
The idea of teleporting would open up more jobs for people, lowering the unemployment rate to only a predicted from 9.5% to 8.9%.One problem with this is that most people wouldn’t be buying cars, putting many car dealerships out of business.Luckily, teleportation also goes along with another future plan that would open up more jobs for people as well.
Time travel and teleportation are interlinked, both taking one object from a certain place to a completely different place in a short amount of time.The difference is that teleportation destroys the original object, and time travel moves it through space at a different rate.
Being able to travel in time would require more jobs, lowering the unemployment rate even lower, while it would also add a whole new meaning to vacations.
As technology gets more advanced, so does the way we learn, since technology opens up more ways of teaching/learning.With time travel and teleportation there’s not much to say on the education part, but it would give new ways of learning from the past, and seeing how our choices will affect the future.
The time travel aspect would allow us to be able to travel back in time to see what the important historical events and time periods were actually like, as well as avoiding the deaths of millions of people in disasters.Seeing that history has a habit of “repeating itself”, seeing what actually happened years ago would give people today a concept of what to expect and help to prevent it more easily.
Being able to teleport would give students (and anyone for that matter) the opportunity to see how people in other countries learn rather than just ours.They would be able to experience first hand what they are learning about, and give them a better idea of what’s happening.
