Teleportation is a major mode of travel in science fiction, but when will it become a reality? To find out, Mango and Gabe are grappling with the history and theoretical science behind one of humanity’s most anticipated technologies. Along the way, they explore the surprising connection between teleportation and ancient stage magic, and introduce you to the most romantic song about quantum entanglement that you’ve ever heard. (Probably.)
Check out David Nagler’s website and his band, As For the Future!
Listen to Mangesh’s conversation with Daniel Whiteson about aliens, physics, and alien physics!
