Maybe this is a ridiculous idea, maybe it's really stupid. But then again, maybe someone will pick it up, go with it, make it work, and say it's theirs. Alrighty then. So what is this ridiculous idea? Packet teleportation of complex matter structures via entrainment by photon carried artificial non-gravitational singularities. Yeah, it's a high-falutin' physics idea. Problem is I don't quite understand enough of the stuff needed to know how feasable it is. I'm just making an educated guess based on some stuff I've read or heard about in various places. So I'm taking ideas I half understand at a layman's level and putting the pieces together in a way that seems to make sense also at the layman's level. Like I said, it's crazy isn't it? The elements of the idea... Photons can be paired or split or whatever. They apparently have some means of carrying information faster than the speed of light. Somebody figured out how to transport a particle with it. Yey! 1 friggin atom! Yey! So, what good is this? All this precision expensive stuff to teleport beyond space and time one friggin atom? Well, like a newborn baby and electricity - what good are they... I'll get back to this a little later. Next, the concept of the artificial singularity. What the hell is a singularity? Most would say it's a black hole. That would be true. It's massive and it behaves more or less as a mostly closed system that occupies a single point in space and time. Guess what else is a mostly closed system in space and time that appears to be a point? An atom. A.k.a. a particle. So how can we produce an artificial singularity? Obviously a black hole is too massive and it's gravitational forces would present a serious problem in managing the thing. So it's necessary to look at the other end of the scale. Under the right conditions, it should be possible to make stuff behave like an uber-atom. What's that? A Bose-Einstein condensate? Perhaps. The trick to making an artificial singularity is to cram a couple grams, or perhaps kilograms into the volume of space occupied by one atom. Now you have a mass occupying a volume not normally possible in nature. Unlike a natural gravitational black hole, it's too small mass-wise to remain a singularity because it lacks the gravity needed to stay together. Unlike a natural atom, it has way too much energy going on and it's going to want to expand apart. Thus outside of artificial conditions, this non-gravitational singularity cannot exist. What good is this? Who knows. I'm going to make some guesses though. I could be fancy about it and call it a hypothesis. Same thing. First guess: if this thing behaves as a singularity, it's going to have an event horizon. Put something in there, and as long as it's a singularity - it's not coming out. Second guess, a singularity acts as a particle. A "big" particle, but none the less a particle. So it's a single point, it should be like an atom. Interested yet? So we can put something in a singularity and it's stuck there is it not? Not much good in black hole, as getting it out is difficult. Really hard to do with a single atom. But with an artificial non-gravitational singularity, what happens when you remove the artificial environment that created it? Right, there's nothing holding it together anymore. So what would something put inside do? It should expand to occupy its original volume in space. The problem is whether or not it expands in a controlled manner. It could go boom. *Shrug* Something that needs testing I don't have the means for. Now put two and two together... You can teleport a particle via paired photons. Now make a particle that can carry something in it. Put this special particle in the paired photon experiment. Now it's something. If everything works as intended, the object within the event horizon of the artificial non-gravitational singularity will be transported along with it's carrier particle to the photon on the other side. Remove the conditions producing the singularity in a controlled manner at the other end... Bingo! You've got a working teleporter. :) Maybe it's crazy talk. Maybe I'm onto something. What do you think of all this?
