      I wish it was..then I wouldn’t have to get up to get my cup of tea every day! I am not sure it is…I think It is mostly used in science fiction…but I am not really sure! Maybe you can become a scientist and figure it out! let me know how you get on ;).

      Not in Newtonian mechanics but Newton’s Laws are just a model – they don’t explain everything and for some situations they don’t work at all.

      Quantum teleportation is a fact though, and was confirmed experimentally in 1997. Quantum, quite simply, rocks. It’s going to change the way we understand everything.

      No, it would be great if it were! I do believe that we can use our energy as human beings to connect with other people when they are not with us. Have you ever had the thought to call someone and then your phone rings and it’s them! I think the connections that we have with each other are incredibly strong. I don’t understand how it works though!

      Unfortunately not. Objects would have to be broken down and the chances are we wouldn’t be able to put them back together again! No one has managed to grow an animal yet from the component atoms!
