How many years will it take scientists to invent teleportation device?

Question

How many years will it take scientists to invent teleportation device from now on? And how much money can the person earn by inventing this? Can someone do experiments for this in a laboratory by writing an agreement saying that once it succeeds, that person will give 10% profits to that laboratory based on what the person earns? Where can that person find a laboratory that does this? Inside the colleges? Are there independent labs that does this?

Hi Sun,

Let me start by saying very interesting and "outside of the box" question.  Although I don't think many can really give you a precise answer (including myself), I did find an interesting article that you may find interesting.  Take a look at it and let me know what you think about it.  Maybe you can even tell me your opinion of the length of time it will take.

It turns out that scientist were not able to teleport humans or any organic being...but this group, at ETH Zurich, were able to teleport information!  This is very very cool!  Why don't you read this article and let me know your thoughts.

You are, probably, under influence of various movies involving teleportaion (the last one is "Now you see me").

Teleportation, as it perceived by moviemakers, is practically impossible physical process, because it includes reversible processes the probability of which is very very low, almost zero. Practical realization of these processes (as it shown in movies) is in contradction with the law of increase in entropy in stattistical irreversible processes (the second law of thermodynamics). Thus, none of physical devices can make this happen in reality.

1. Well, in 200 years, or so, most population will vanish from face of Earth. For few thousands years, Earth will relax and restore itself .... and next loop of evolution will bring new type of organisms, and aliens from outer space, finally, will come to change something in our genes again to make us smarter. They just afraid to come over at this time, because there are too many of us here. We will ruin them by being too exciting or too violent, will see.
So, my guess it will happen after 10,000 years.
2. I don't think that anybody will spend money for fantasy, at this difficult time, especially government.
