Stockton, Ca - May 7, 2149 (PR DATAWIRE) - Researchers led by Dr. Seth Passivant of the Entanglement Research Lab announced today that they have successfully teleported a single-celled organism a distance of 25 feet. This experiment has already been duplicated at the Bremen Subatomic Multidimensional Research Lab in Germany.

"Don't get too excited yet," warned Dr. Passivant, "The amount of energy that the process consumes is very high. To teleport this very simple, very small organism across our lab we basically consumed enough energy to supply the entire state of California for a week."

The Entanglement Research Laboratory (ERL) is part of the larger Stockton Center for Very High Energy Physics (SCVHEP) and has been concentrating on the practical applications of entangled particles for information transfer.

"This teleportation research was a byproduct of our work in trying to determine new ways of communicating without speed of light delays," SCVHEP Director Hu Nguyen explained, "We are looking forward to future discoveries by the ERL team in this new exciting multidimensional branch of their work."

Dr. Passivant has noted that to teleport a human being any reasonably useful distance would require more power than one could hope to currently generate and that a larger effort should be initiated to discover such sources of power.
