Will "Star Trek" type travel–teleportation–ever become possible?

It’s not yet possible for humans, but it IS possible with atomic particles which have become "entangled." Physicists first did this in 1997, using a single pair of entangled photons, or particles of light. This happens when pairs of particles become linked in such a way that measuring a certain property of one instantly determines the same property for the other, even if separated by large distances.

Quantum entanglement, which Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance," occurs when two atomic particles are split apart, but still INSTANTLY copy each other–no matter HOW far away from each other they are (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show).

Scientists speculate that tiny atomic particles–the building blocks of the universe–come in six different flavors. But they’re so tiny that if you tasted one, would you even notice?

A Nobel Prize winning biologist says that a fragment of DNA "teleported" itself between test tubes in his lab, meaning that it demonstrated the quantum ability of being non-local, i.e. in two places at the same time. What are we, anyway? Since DNA is the basic building block of all life on Earth, perhaps we are actually quantum beings (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to these shows).
