In 1913, physicist Niels Bohr suggested that the electrons were confined into clearly defined, quantized orbits, and could jump between these, but could not freely spiral inward or outward in intermediate states. This theory later was supported by experimental evidence by Henry Moseley.
Niels Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922 “for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them."
One of the earliest and most commonly taught interpretations of quantum mechanics is the Copenhagen interpretation, which was devised by Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and others between 1924–27.
In 1927 Niels Bohr developed and introduced the complementarity principle which shows Wave–particle duality - that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties.
During the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II, Bohr escaped to Sweden and spent the last two years of the war in England and America. He was part of the British team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project.
Niels Bohr died in Copenhagen on November 18, 1962.

Quantum teleportation has been proven experimentally many times over, although it is not the type of transportation suggested in Sci-fi movies. It is still not possible to send a person or object between two places, only entangled information.
The technique involves entangling two things so their states are dependent on one another and each can be affected by the measurement of the other's state. Quantum teleportation involves separating subatomic particles from their quantum state and entangling them. When one of the items is sent a distance away, entanglement ensures that changing the state of one cause the other to change as well.

ZAP, and its gone is a game for 7 Players (4 male and 3 female aged 11 and above). It is set in the year 2310.
Starlines have been established between the major star systems. The starlines are the motorways of space.
Join the crew of a cargo ship on its mission along one of these starlines.
The spaceship “Buccaneer” has just left space dock having collected several people at its last port of call.
Now one of them is missing!
