#465: Quantum Teleportation explain

Quantum Teleportation

[A Cueball-like reporter and Cueball are facing each other, sitting in chairs.]

Reporter: So, Quantum Teleportation-

Cueball: The name is misleading. It’s a particle statistics thing.

[Zoom in on the reporter.]

Reporter: So it’s not like Star Trek? That’s boring.

[Zoom out again to both. Cueball leaves his seat and moves behind it.]

Cueball: Okay, I’m sick of this. Every time there’s a paper on quantum teleportation, you reporters write the same disappointed story.

[Cueball has gone to a device that was behind him and was out of the scope of the three previous panels. He turns a knob that makes a sound in a zigzag sound buble.]

Reporter (Off panel): But-

Cueball: Talk to someone else. I’m going to the Bahamas.

Knob: Click

[Inserted panel with a zoom in on the device that is labeled, and the knob is now turned to the right position. Both possible positions are labeled.]

Label: Teleporter

Left: Quantum

Right: Regular

[Cueball is beamed up in classic Star Trek fashion.]
