A physicist has demonstrated that teleportation of energy is possible, a discovery that has profound implications for the study of physics.

Masahiro Hotta at Tohoku University in Japan showed that teleportation of energy is possible by using the quantum principles to transport information.

Relying on the quantum phenomenon called “entanglement” — in which two particles share the same existence, meaning that a measurement on one particle immediately influences the other despite being light-years apart — Hotta’s idea involves making a measurement on each one an entangled pair of particles.
