Further News on Teleportation Breakthrough Reported Last Week
"When physicists talk about "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of "quantum states" between separate atoms. These would be such things as an atom's energy, motion, magnetic field and other physical properties." In layman's terms, that's roughly the same thing most of us can do, with varying degrees of success, on a pool table.

Now remember, when you do it you're being a bum, squandering your money in a pool hall. When physicists do it, they're performing serious tests about teleportation, displaying a wise use of grant money for the public good.
