On the night of June 1, 1968, in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina, two cars sped through the thick fog that enveloped the area.
In the back car sat Dr. Gerard Bidal, a lawyer from Buenos Aires, and his wife, Mrs. Laver. In the front car were a couple who were their friends. They had set off from Chascomús, located south of Buenos Aires, to drive through the night to Maipú, about 150 kilometers south, to visit acquaintances.
Uncertain whether it was due to the speed of the front car or a minor malfunction in Dr. Bidal's vehicle, the distance between the two cars gradually widened.
As they approached the outskirts of Maipú, the couple in the front car turned back to look for their friends. The fog was so dense that they could see nothing behind them. They decided to pull over and wait for Dr. Bidal and his wife. However, after waiting for half an hour and then an hour, visibility remained zero in the fog. Doubts crept into their minds, and they turned around to search for them.
Yet, there was neither a car in sight nor any vehicle pulled over by the roadside.
In other words, Dr. Bidal's car had seemingly vanished into thin air while traveling on the road.
Hou Bin set down the book "World's Unsolved Mysteries" he had been reading and looked at Zhang He, who was fiddling with a coin on the table. He asked a question: “Do you believe in teleportation?”
Zhang He seemed not to hear Hou Bin’s question and continued to play with the coin, absorbed in his own world.
“The next day, relatives and friends mobilized and searched everywhere between Chascomús and Maipú. However, neither people nor cars could be found—not even a shadow. Two days passed. Just as they were about to report it to the police, a long-distance call came in from Mexico City.
The call said: ‘We are from the Argentine Consulate in Mexico City. A couple claiming to be Mr. and Mrs. Gaidar Bidal is under our protection. Do you know them?’ Upon receiving this call, they were quite surprised and asked Mr. Gaidar Bidal himself to come on the line. Indeed, it was the voice of the missing Dr. Gaidar Bidal.
This meant that on June 3, the Bidals were indeed in Mexico City. The straight-line distance from Chascomús in Argentina to Mexico City is over 6,000 kilometers. Even with ships, trains, and cars at their disposal, it would have been impossible to reach there within two days.”
Hou Bin continued reading, occasionally glancing at Zhang He. "So, what you're saying is that the lawyer couple, Gaidar Bidal, achieved instantaneous transfer."
Zhang He straightened up and stretched widely.
Unwilling to give up, Hou Bin scooted closer to Zhang He and said, "Aren't you supposed to be a genius? Come on, explain it—whether from a scientific perspective or a supernatural one."
"........"
"Can't explain it? Ha! There are things you don't know too!" Hou Bin exclaimed excitedly, bouncing around as if he had read that lengthy passage on instantaneous transfer just to stump Zhang He.
"Hey, come here." Zhang He patted Hou Bin's shoulder and waved him over.
"What is it?" Hou Bin snapped back to attention and saw Zhang He sitting seriously in front of him, holding a coin in his hand.
Zhang He pointed to the coin in his right hand and said to Hou Bin, "Watch closely."
With that, he placed the coin into his left palm and closed it tightly. Then he pointed at his clenched left fist and looked at Hou Bin, asking, "The coin is still in my left hand, right?"
"Of course! I saw you put the coin in your left hand!"
Hou Bin grabbed Zhang He's clenched left fist. "Let's see what trick you're trying to pull! Your hand is in my grip now!"
Zhang He smiled slightly and said, "Now perform your favorite instantaneous transfer!" With that, he suddenly opened his right hand in front of Hou Bin, revealing a coin that had appeared in his palm!
As Zhang He slowly opened his left hand, the coin that should have been there mysteriously vanished!
"This... how is this possible!" Hou Bin exclaimed, his mouth agape as he stared at the coin in Zhang He's right hand.
He picked up the coin and examined it closely for a long time, still convinced that it was just an ordinary one-yuan coin.
Zhang He took back the coin and sat down on his dormitory chair. He said to Hou Bin, "The coin is just an ordinary coin, and what confuses you is merely the technique. This is one of the simplest forms of coin magic, known as the 'French Coin Drop Technique.' If you want to learn, I can teach you. I just want you to understand that all teleportation in this world is simply a matter of technique; its essence is the same as this magic trick.
"The human body is composed of matter. If we were to move a person's body to another location at light speed, it would require 'materialization.' According to physicists, just breaking through the limiting forces within the nucleus would necessitate heating the body to one trillion degrees Celsius, which is hundreds of times hotter than the core of the sun. Only at this temperature can matter transform into light and be transmitted at light speed to any location. Moreover, for each person being transported, the energy required would exceed approximately 1000 times all energy consumption by humanity to date."
At this point, Zhang He turned his head towards Hou Bin and continued, "Therefore, from a quantum mechanics perspective, teleporting humans is currently impossible."
