#465: Quantum Teleportation explain
[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.]
