According to the theory, developed by Masahiro Hotta of Tohoku University, Japan, a series of entangled particles could be stretched across an infinite amount of space. By inducing an energy change in one of the particles, the other entangled particles would change as well. Eventually, to preserve conservation of energy, the original particle would be destroyed, with its energy passing to the final particle in the chain. Thus, the energy has been teleported from one particle to another.
Naturally, Hotta doesn't present any blueprint for replacing power lines with teleporting energy, concentrating instead on the implications for studying quantum mechanics. However, with a concept this profound, the implications beyond theory are nearly endless. So let's hear what you've come up with! Commenters, I want to know: how would you use energy teleportation
Well isn't this just dandy. A physicist has reinvented the wheel. Nikola Tesla first demonstrated this capability on a small scale in the 1890's only to be crushed by big industry because he wanted to give electricity away for free. Now we couldn't have that could we?
Just think where we would be today if we had had free wireless energy since the turn of the 20th century.
