Teleportation is a theoretical concept in which an object or person is instantly transported from one location to another without traversing the physical space in between. This idea is often explored in science fiction, where characters can move instantaneously, saving time and energy. In scientific discussions, teleportation is sometimes linked to quantum mechanics, particularly the phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. This involves the transfer of information about a particle's state between two distant particles, but it does not involve the physical movement of matter itself. Actual teleportation, as depicted in movies and books, remains purely speculative.
