Teleportation Instead of Transportation

The following idea won’t become a reality on next day, next year, or next century, But…. one day in the future.

Transportation, is a house-hold term that we all are aware of. But what is teleportation? It is the theoretical transfer of matter from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. Without the technical jargons, it means sending an object from A to B simply by making it disappear at A and making it reappear at B, using quantum mechanics applications.

I’m sure you may wonder what is really meant by disappearing an object. To explain this weirdness of “disappearing” something, first you need to know about some advanced physics theories. The atom is the smallest particle that can be found in all of the elements that exist in the world, even in the air you breathe, inside you and me. And within those atoms, sub-atomic particles like electrons and protons are present as well. These elementary particles, although mentioned as particles, they behave as waves also. The name given for this concept is “wave-particle duality”.  Hence they may act as particles at one instant, but change to waves at the next instant. Therefore a specific particle may stay at one place at this moment and in the next second it may be in another place, not by moving to the next place, but by disappearing from the previous place and reappearing at the other place, due to wave-particle duality. This may startle you, if you are reading about this alien behaviour of particle for the first time. But this what really happens in the world, at least according to theoretical physicists.

If you didn’t understand my explanation on the theory behind teleportation, that’s okay. Even I don’t really understand the complete theoretical basis behind teleportation. And you don’t need to understand it to get the essence of this article. Just keep in mind location of very small particles can be unpredictable, hence those can be anywhere at a given time.

Although this behaviour seems interesting, this cannot mould in to beneficial way for us in current state. However, if we can understand and control this particle behaviour and apply the same theory to much larger objects with the technology advancements, we will be fortunate enough to teleport almost all the matter.

In practical world only data on electron has been teleported, (source) yet. But we can be hopeful of experiencing teleportation of large objects in our life time. Then, transportation will be taken over by teleportation for the simple reason, that instead of taking a thing from A to B, teleporting from A to B may work, where this “thing” can be an object or a human as well.

But, finally, I would like to tell you, not to get too excited, because all these applications are still in theoretical stage, unsure of whether those can be applied in practical world. But I repeat that one day this concept may be used and eliminate the hindering non-value adding transportation from the world.

Layerical Classification of Organisms

Organisms can be classified on several bases. Most famously, they are categorized as vertebrates or invertebrates, based on the presence or absence of vertebrate.

The classification I’m going to introduce is different from conventional classifications. It is not based on physical or mental characteristics, but by the way organisms interact with other organisms.

For the presence, every organism found can be divided into 3 categories, called as layers. Those are layer ‘K’, layer ‘L’, and layer ‘M’.

Layer ‘M’ consists of organisms which interact directly with human. Almost all the animals whom we can see, ranging from blue whale, elephant to mosquitoes and flies along with birds, reptiles and etc… include under this category.

Layer ‘L’ consists worm-like organisms. This includes all the organisms we generally called as worms. I categorized worms to another group because, worms cannot interact with layer ‘M’ organisms. What I mean by interaction is identifying the existence, either by seeing or hearing or touching.

Layer ‘K’ consists of viruses and other micro-organisms. They are categorized separately because they cannot identify the existence of layer ‘L’ as well as layer ‘M’ organisms.

The least advanced organisms are in layer ‘K’. Comparing with layer ‘K’, layer ‘L’ organisms are bit more advanced. The most advanced organisms within these 3 layers are in layer ‘M’.

Still, human have found organisms which can be categorized into 3 layers. But there is no reason to think those are the only layers exist in the world.

Until human invent microscope, they were unaware of layer ‘K’ organisms. Therefore, it is not wrong to think that our technology is not that advanced to observe the other layers.

Scientists have found a layer less advanced to our layer, (which is layer ‘M’). But they have not succeeded to find another layer higher than theirs. Is that because humans’ reluctance to think of a group of organisms, who are more advanced than us.

Maybe layer ‘N’ consist of organisms who we think as god(s), or angels. Perhaps they may be categorized into next layer above it, layer ‘O’, with the existence of organisms with an intermediate advancement between human and god(s) in the layer ‘N’.

This is the right time to broaden our views on the world and the organisms living there. We must accept that our universe contains organisms who are not only weaker than us, but more powerful than us, also. Layerical organisation of organisms is an attempt to show the possibility of existence of such creatures.
