You know, something that I think would be interesting in the future would be a detailed comparison between the simplest of radio waves -- and quantum teleportation.
On the one hand, we have the simplest of radio waves -- which moves a little bit of information (depending on how it is encoded, how the radio wave is modulated) over space, and on the other, we have quantum teleportation, which also moves information over space.
On the one hand, the simple radio wave dissipates according to the square of the distance -- the "inverse square law" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law), whereas presumably (I do not know), the quantum teleportation does not.
Which leads to a side question -- is there a physical limit to the distance that information can be transported via quantum teleportation?
If not, then there's yet another example of light speed violation, and if so, then maybe the quantum teleportation isn't really quantum teleportation -- but rather some form of radio/wavelike communication at a distance, albeit, one physics has yet to describe...
My point is simply this -- when you have a new fangled, not well understood phenomena (in this case Quantum Teleportation), and you have an old well understood phenomena (for example, radio waves -- but it could be any wave or member of the EM spectrum that conveys information over distance, for example, light), well, when you have two apparently disparate phenomena like that in Physics, you want to understand WHAT AND HOW ARE THEY UNIFIED -- rather than the endless set of attributes that are different between them...
You see, an advanced Physics would be able to express/quantify/explain both radio waves on the low-end of understanding, and every single possible form of quantum teleportation on the high end... IF IT WERE CORRECT...
Observation: What science at this point in time in earth's history needs to do is the following:
1) Construct FTL waves out of Slower-Than-Light waves...
2) Construct Wormholes (Wormhole = Black Hole = Quantum Telportation = Portal, use whatever language you wish!) out of the FTL waves.
Of course, we'll leave #2 for the future.
Goal #1 should be to construct a single, solitary, FTL wave (and be able to detect it over a distance, otherwise what's the point?) from Slower-Than-Light waves.
By default, if you're moving Faster-Than-Light, then the path/space you are moving in has similar characteristics to #2, which, over time, should yield a greater understanding of that phenomenon... (is the space compressed, or the wave expanded, or both?).
In fact, maybe it would make sense to go back to Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#Achilles_and_the_tortoise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#Achilles_an...
That is, if you think about each, each EM wave that exists in space -- must first cross half of that space, but before that, it must cross half of that space, etc., ad infinitum.
So, what happens if an EM wave is made of nothing but space, but space that is twisting, space that is vibrating?
If (and it's a big IF!) that's how EM waves work -- then you already have part of all of the above -- BECAUSE AT THE SMALLEST SCALE IN AN EM WAVE -- SPACE ITSELF IS BEING COMPRESSED AND EXPANDED...
You see, conventional Physics uses words like "Electric Field" and "Magnetic Field" -- rather than such words as "Twist Vector Of Space", "Compression Vector Of Space", "Expansion Vector Of Space", and "Oscillation/Vibration Vector Of Space" (and of course, those are relative to size/wavelength/frequency, etc.... "relative to scale", as I like to say...)
But, I think todays Physics -- would get so much more out of itself -- if we stopped using words like "Electricity" and "Magnetism" -- and instead replaced those with "Something is happening to SPACE here!" (where the something was a more accurate description of what was actually going on!)
But anyway, we need to know/understand/grok the root of all phenomena -- in the simplest of terms -- otherwise Physics will keep inventing a plethora of words and phrases to describe what can be in essence, described by a few simple fundamental understandings in the tersest of ways...
Anyway, feel free to call me a crackpot <g>... I don't claim to be right -- I only claim that researchers may wish to investigate these subjects further!
