Although quantum physicists have been making breakthroughs in the field of quantum teleportation, we’re still limited to the instantaneous transmission of information, and are a long ways away from being able to reconstruct matter or energy at a distance. But as humans, we may already be ready for such a mode of transportation, as the results of a new study suggests that our minds are capable of orienting themselves, despite the effect of being relocated in such an instantaneous fashion.
