quantum theory. This version of quantum theory requires the simultaneous existence of an
infinite number of equally real worlds, all of which are more-or-less causally disjoint, in order to
interpret consistently the relationship between observed phenomena and observers. The theory
was proposed in an attempt to overcome a number of deep paradoxes inherent in the
interpretation of the theory of measurement and quantum theory. The Many Worlds theory
argues that quantum theory requires the existence of a “superspace” of worlds spanning the range
of all possible quantum observations (or quantum measurements). Through our acts of
measurement we are imagined to trace a path through the mesh of possible outcomes. All the
“worlds” are causally disjoint, and the uncertainty of quantum observation can be interpreted as
an artifact of our access to such a limited portion of the superspace of possible worlds. The
evolution in the superspace as a whole is entirely deterministic.
At present, none of the theoretical concepts outlined above have been brought to a level of technical
maturity, where it becomes meaningful to ascertain whether any form of e-Teleportation is theoretically
possible between extra space dimensions and different or parallel universes/spaces. However, as
mentioned in the item on parallel universes/parallel spaces, there is the exception that traversable
wormholes (three- and higher-dimensional) provide a solid physics principle for the implementation of
teleportation between parallel universes/spaces. And traversable wormholes can be devised to connect 3-
branes together. See Section 2.1 for the discussion on teleportation via traversable wormholes. Also,
Kaluza-Klein theories, superstring theories and D-brane theory all have the common feature that their
extra space dimensions are ≤ 10 −35 m in extent, which makes it impossible for any useful form of
macroscopic-level teleportation to occur between space dimensions. Last, it is not yet possible to do
theoretical calculations or even experimentally verify most of these theories. Three-brane theory is the
best parallel space theory there is, with the possibility that macroscopic-level teleportation is possible
between space dimensions (only if the extra space dimension(s) has length scale(s) >> millimeters). But
this theory is still in the stage of maturing theoretically and achieving experimental verification (or
falsification). Therefore, we can go no further in this section.
4.2 Vacuum Hole Teleportation
An unusual teleportation concept has been proposed by Leshan (1999, 2002), which describes the
teleportation of objects throughout our universe by using the geometrical properties of spacetime. The
proposal posits that there is a “zero-space” that exists outside the boundary of our universe, whereby this
zero-space is a “point form” space, where the distance between any two points is always equal to zero.
Leshan also calls this space a “hole.” Further requirements and assumptions of the model are:
time does not exist as a property in zero-space
the cosmological principle (i.e., there are no privileged frames relative to another place or point in
the universe) requires that the boundary or border of the universe must pass through every point
of space
virtual holes (or zero-space) in spacetime must exist at every point of the universe, which are also
called “vacuum holes”
vacuum holes exist as virtual particles
The last item is interesting because it implicitly says that vacuum holes (a.k.a. zero-space) must also be
virtual particles, and in Section 2.2 we showed that virtual particles are a representation of the vacuum
ZPF. Therefore, this infers that vacuum holes can be considered to be vacuum zero-point fluctuations in
