    Teleportation is the theoretical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. [1] It is a common subject in science fiction and fantasy literature, film, video games, and television. In some situations, teleporting is presented as time traveling across space.

    A generalization of quantum mechanics suggests particles could be teleported from one place to another. [24] This is called particle teleportation. With this concept, superconductivity can be viewed as the teleportation of some electrons in the superconductor and superfluidity as the teleportation of some of the atoms in the cellular tube.

    The young human eye can change focus from distance (infinity) to as near as 6.5 cm from the eye. [32] [33] This dramatic change in focal power of the eye of approximately 15 dioptres (the reciprocal of focal length in metres) occurs as a consequence of a reduction in zonular tension induced by ciliary muscle contraction.

    Once a valid address is dialed by the traveler, if a functioning counterpart device exists close enough to those coordinates, the stargate generates a stable wormhole between itself and its counterpart. The advanced technology of the stargate allows it to accept a wide range of power sources, which it can absorb by direct conduction if required ...
