Brian Greene - Is Teleportation Possible?

Brian Greene the renowned American theoretical physicist talks about quantum teleportation, quantum entanglement and whether it’s possible to teleport a human being. Brian Greene is most famously known for his work on string theory. He also has become known to a wider audience through his books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, Icarus at the Edge of Time, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Hidden Reality etc. He explains the concept behind what Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance“. He also mentions how Einstein’s work on the Photoelectric effect was fundamental in the formulation of quantum mechanics. Brian Greene also explains how quantum entanglement can be used for teleportation. Many works of science fiction have enticed our imagination with human teleportation. But, does it have any basis in reality? Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. While teleportation of matter is cu
