Teleportation is the theoretical transfer of matter and/or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.[1] It is a common subject in science fiction and fantasy literature, film, video games, and television. In some situations, teleporting is presented as time traveling across space.
The use of matter transmitters in science fiction originated at least as early as the 19th century.[2] An early example of scientific teleportation (as opposed to magical or spiritual teleportation) is found in the 1897 novel To Venus in Five Seconds by Fred T. Jane. Jane's protagonist is transported from a strange-machinery-containing gazebo on Earth to planet Venus.
A common fictional device for teleportation is a "wormhole". In video games, the instant teleportation of a player character may be referred to as a warp.
