Summary
Today's True Weird Stuff - Beamed Up
In 1943, the USS Eldridge, a U.S. Navy ship, allegedly teleported from Philadelphia to the waters of Norfolk, Virginia. Some claim that during this experiment some men on the ship disappeared permanently…while others reappeared, with their bodies fused into the metal of the ship. Was this a real government cover-up, or does teleportation only exist in the minds of those who boldly go where no man has gone before?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, true weirdos, at the end of this episode, stick around if you want for a little bonus content and conversation. |
| 0:08.7 | In 1943, it was a Navy ship. In 2014, it was a commercial airliner. What could the two possibly have in common? |
| 0:20.3 | Maybe more than any of us know. |
| 0:22.3 | Maybe more than you want to know. |
| 0:25.3 | Because that knowledge could turn your life and everything you've been taught. |
| 0:32.3 | Everything you believe inside out and upside down. |
| 0:37.1 | And they got a small beam of light against the mirror. You believe inside out and upside down. |
| 0:57.5 | True, weird, weird stuff. |
| 1:03.3 | Beam me up, Scotty. |
| 1:06.2 | Fans of Star Trek know just what that means. |
| 1:08.0 | Teleportation. The very molecules and atoms that add up to make an object or a person |
| 1:13.6 | are transformed into energy and delivered or beamed to a target point where all that energy is then |
| 1:20.6 | reassembled back to its original form. It is the coolest way to travel, and it would be amazing if it were real. What if it is? |
| 1:32.3 | Real, I mean. What if teleportation isn't a thing of science fiction, but of science fact? |
| 1:39.7 | Because it is. Just not the way they do it on the Starship Enterprise. |
| 1:44.5 | It's deeply complicating and confusing for anyone who isn't a quantum physicist, which |
| 1:49.6 | I'm guessing is most of us. |
| 1:51.8 | It works something like this. |
| 1:53.5 | At the quantum level, it isn't matter that's being transformed and teleported. |
| 1:58.1 | It's information. |
| 1:59.6 | Science has long suspected that the properties of one |
