text: How long is a piece of string?\n\nNo wait a better reply would be "How ling is a piece of string theory?"\n\nAsuming you mean teleportation of acutual objects like a human the answer will be: A LONG LONG LONG while still. If ever.\n\nIf you mean quantum teleportation (Teleporting Atoms and Electrons) then it already happened.\n\nSide Note:\n\nWhen physicists say "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of key properties from one particle to another without a physical link. - Paul Rincon BBC News Online science staff\n\nUsing the definition above Scientist did manage to successful teleport particles of light over a distance of 600m\n\nAs for the pea being teleported. I don't think that ever happened. If it did we would have seen it blasted all over CNN by now. (Except maybe if there was some kinda government conspiracy) I mean everybody loves a good conspiracy)\n\nIf you need more informaiton do some research on quantum teleportation. Some links to news articles.\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3576594.stm\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1888
