Is Teleportation Possible?

  Teleportation is always an exiting concept. To just vanish and appear somewhere else would just be amazing. Most people just believe that teleportation is absolutely impossible! Or is it?
   Over the past few decades people have started to be able to teleport atoms. Let's start with 3 atoms labeled A, B, and C.  Lets say atom A and atom B meet each other. They will exchange information with each other, this is also known as entanglement. (This entanglement is like a string connecting two atoms. They can be light years away from each other, but if the slightest vibration happens it will destroy the string.) So now whenever something happens to atom A will affect what happens to atom B. If atom A is spinning clockwise, atom B would be spinning counter-clockwise. Now, lets say atom C makes contact with atom B. Atom B will exchange the information of atom A with C. At that exact moment, atom A ceases to exist and atom C contains atom A's information. Atom A has been teleported to atom C. This is one form of teleportation but it is very hard to do. Especially if you are trying to teleport regular objects, that would involve destroying the original object. You would have to kill yourself to actually teleport yourself this way.
   Another way to teleport is to turn atoms into light particles, send them to another area, then turn the light particle into the original atoms. This is a very long process and with a (number so big you can't even imagine placed here) of atoms in everyday objects that would be almost impossible. It is possible to teleport atoms but not regular objects with today's technology.
