Teleportation is cool. Captain Kirk stands on the pad, and Scotty beams him up, down, and all around. Cooler is that teleportation may become practical soon. Computer scientists abetted by physicists are now exploiting quantum phenomena to teleport photons, mostly, and some atoms, though not all that far. As for anything big enough to see, well . . . Darling predicts that inanimate objects, at least, will be teleported eventually, and he broaches human teleportation and the philosophical, religious, and social questions it may raise fore and aft of the enlightening main text here, which begins with light.
