GREAT BOOK

I didn't learn to teleport, which is what I wanted. Basically, as I understand it, quantum teleportation happens when you can duplicate one body of mass in another location and erase the first, which seems more like replication or cloning.

I'm no expert on the subject, but that's where I see the bottleneck.

Like many science books, this one also gets lost in vocabulary that seems like jargon, so it would have been nice if there were a glossary of terms and symbols for some of the equations. If only neither of them appeared so random, at times!
