And a transporter.
And antigravity.
And turning lead in to gold.
“And a transporter.”
Quantum entanglement has already proven the physical ability to teleport or copy matter across two points in space while circumventing the limitation of the speed of light. Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the nature of quantum mechanics it is so far unknown whether or not a means can ever be found to build a Star Trek like transporter system.
“And antigravity.”
Counter-gravity devices like airplanes and rockets already exist, but anti-gravity is still a concept in the very early stages of research. However, given the existence of antimatter, antigravity may someday be a successful area of research.
“And turning lead in to gold.”
Turning Lead into Gold is entirely possible right now. Physicists have already turned Bismuth into Gold. Turing Mercury and Lead into Gold is the same procedure as turning Bismuth into Gold. However, at a cost of $5,000 per hour to use the cyclotron, it would cost upwards of one quadrillion dollars to produce one ounce of Gold from Lead.
Agree. BS sensationalistic headline.
