Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.
欢迎来到大脑洞开的生命奇想。
Just imagine being able to zap your way out of an awkward conversation,
想象一下，如果你能迅速摆脱一场尴尬的对话，
a bad day at work or school, or even a life-or-death situation. Wouldn’t it be great?
糟糕的工作或学习的一天，甚至是生死关头。这不是很棒吗？
With all the technological advancements and scientific understanding we’ve gained recently, it got me thinking.
随着科技的进步和我们最近获得的科学认识，这让我思考。
What if we could teleport? The word teleportation implies that
如果我们能瞬间移动会怎么样呢？这个单词的意思是指，
an object will disappear from one place and that exact object will then show up in a new place.
一个物体会从一个地方消失，然后同一个物体将会出现在一个新的地方。
But that isn’t actually how scientists think teleportation will work.
但这并不是科学家们所认为的远距离传送的实际运作方式。
Instead, it involves analyzing the position, momentum, and spin of an object’s particles,
相反，它需要分析一个物体粒子的位置、动量和自旋，
then sending that information on radio waves to another destination, and recreating the object in another form.
然后用无线电波将信息发送到另一个目的地，并以另一种形式重新创建该对象。
For teleportation to work like this, the original object,
为了实现远距离传送，原始物体，
whether it’s a person or a car or a stack of cash, is unavoidably destroyed after its quantum state is analyzed.
无论是一个人，一辆车，还是一堆钱，在量子态分析后都不可避免地被摧毁。
Which, understandably, puts some people off. Say we teleported a person, you, for example.
这让一些人望而却步，这是可以理解的。比如说，我们传送了一个人，比如是你。
The new you wouldn’t just randomly appear out of thin air in a new location.
新的你不会凭空出现在一个新的地方。
Through a process called quantum entanglement,
通过一个叫做量子纠缠的过程，
the information is sent and imprinted onto the exact same chemical elements you’re made of.
这些信息被发送并印在构成你的化学元素上。
Those materials are then programmed and arranged exactly the way you are.
然后这些材料被编程并按照你的方式排列。
It’s kinda like 3-D printing. You wouldn’t be able to teleport yourself anywhere.
它有点像3D打印。你不可能将自己传送到任何地方
It’d need to be a spot already equipped with all those elements.
它需要是一个已经配备了所有这些元素的地点。
There are a lot of other roadblocks too.
还有很多其他的障碍。
We’d also need some kind of super-powered machine with a lot of energy
我们还需要用某种能量很大的超级机器
to analyze every single particle in the human body’s estimated 37 trillion cells.
来分析人体大约37万亿细胞中的每一个粒子。
Then every particle, every gene needs to be expressed the exact same way to create an exact copy.
然后每一个粒子，每一个基因都需要用完全相同的方式来表达来创造一个完全相同的拷贝。
But since the teleported you would technically be a new person, would it have your memories?
但是在传送后，严格来说你将会是一个新的人，你还会拥有你的记忆吗？
Would it have your personality? Or would it be a whole separate human? We just don’t know.
他会有你的个性吗？还是会变成一个完全不同的人？我们不知道。
Plus, teleporting all this data would take a very long time.
而且，传输所有这些数据会需要很长时间。
Based on current technology, some estimates suggest
基于现在的科技，一些人估计，
this process would take 350,000 times longer than the entire universe has been around, so don’t hold your breath.
这个过程要比整个宇宙存在的时间还要长35万倍，所以不要屏住呼吸。
But there are some people who believe in just 1,000 years we’ll have the technology to do this almost instantaneously!
但有些人相信，在短短一千年内，我们就能拥有几乎瞬间完成这一切的技术！
Info from photons and electrons has been teleported short distances since the nineties,
自90年代以来，光子和电子的信息已经可以被短距离传送，
but now, we can teleport their data 1,400 kilometers, which is pretty impressive progress for just a couple decades.
但是现在，我们可以将它们的数据传输1400千米，在仅仅几十年的时间里就实现这一点，这是很令人印象深刻的。
Granted, this was still only data from two particles
当然，这仍然只是来自两个粒子的数据
and we’re still a long way off from teleporting an entire human being, but it’s a start!
我们距离传送整个人体还有很长的路要走，但这只是个开始！
If or when this tech is created, we’d need some serious regulations to make sure
如果或当这项技术被创造出来，我们需要一些严肃的法规来确保
people aren’t teleporting themselves into bank vaults, out of prisons, or into people’s homes.
人们不会把自己传送到银行的金库、监狱或别人的家里。
The last thing I want is for someone to pop up in my room while i am having my own private dance party. I lock the door for a reason.
我最不希望的事情就是有人在我的私人舞会上突然出现在我的房间里。我锁门是有原因的。
In a previous video we ask you guys what super power you would most want have.
在之前的视频中，我们问大家，你们最想拥有的超能力是什么。
And a lot of you said teleportation. So in the comment section below, let us know what super power we should cover next?
很多人说过远距离传送。所以在下面的评论部分，让我们知道我们接下来应该讨论什么超级力量？
