In September 1981, an
extraordinary paper was published in the PRC in the journal Ziran Zazhi (transl.: Nature Journal), and this
paper was entitled, “Some Experiments on the Transfer of Objects Performed by Unusual Abilities of the
Human Body” (Shuhuang et al., 1981). The paper reported that gifted children were able to cause the
apparent teleportation of small objects (radio micro-transmitters, photosensitive paper, mechanical
watches, horseflies, other insects, etc.) from one location to another (that was meters away) without them
ever touching the objects beforehand. The experiments were operated under exceptionally wellcontrolled
conditions (both blind and double-blind). The researchers involved included not only
observers from various PRC colleges and medical research institutes, but also representatives from the
PRC National Defense Science Commission. Because of the involvement of the latter, it was deemed
necessary that an unclassified Intelligence Information Report be prepared by the DIA (see Shuhuang et
al., 1981), which included a detailed English translation of the article.

1.2 The Definitions of Teleportation
Before proceeding, it is necessary to give a definition for each of the teleportation concepts I have
identified during the course of this study:
Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

?? Teleportation – SciFi: the disembodied transport of persons or inanimate objects across space by
advanced (futuristic) technological means (adapted from Vaidman, 2001). We will call this sf-Teleportation,
which will not be considered further in this study.
?? Teleportation – psychic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects by psychic means. We
will call this p-Teleportation.
?? Teleportation – engineering the vacuum or spacetime metric: the conveyance of persons or
inanimate objects across space by altering the properties of the spacetime vacuum, or by altering
the spacetime metric (geometry). We will call this vm-Teleportation.
?? Teleportation – quantum entanglement: the disembodied transport of the quantum state of a
system and its correlations across space to another system, where system refers to any single or
collective particles of matter or energy such as baryons (protons, neutrons, etc.), leptons
(electrons, etc.), photons, atoms, ions, etc. We will call this q-Teleportation.
?? Teleportation – exotic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects by transport through extra
space dimensions or parallel universes. We will call this e-Teleportation.
We will examine each of these in detail in the following chapters and determine whether any of the above
teleportation concepts encompass the instantaneous and or disembodied conveyance of objects through
space. |
