Teleportation definition
A fictional transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.
Often paired with time travel.
There is no known physical mechanism that would allow for matter teleportation.
Teleportation cannot be instantaneous because you can not travel faster than light.

Early examples of teleportation in science fiction
1. The earliest recorded story of a "matter transmitter" was Edward Page Mitchell's "The Man Without a Body" in 1877. Not to be confused with the 1956 B-sci-fi film.
2. 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 – hence the title.

Photoelectric effect—early 1900s—
Albert Einstein won Nobel for his theories about the photoelectronic effect.
Albert Einstein described his most famous formula in the forth paper he published.
Quantum entanglement—
Einstein called it: spooky action at a distance.
Quantum entanglement was first recognized by Einstein, Podolsky, Roson and Schrodinger.
