1. Teleportation
Ever heard of quantum teleportation? It can only teleport quantum information, though.
True
False
2. Cloning an animal
We can't clone humans at the moment, but many animals such as livestock have been cloned.
True
False
3. Ice on fire
Traveling through the cosmos, you'll find Gliese 436b, where intense gravity literally causes the ice on the planet to burn without melting. The average temperature is also estimated at 880 degrees Fahrenheit!
True
False
4. A planet made of solid diamond
Welcome to 55-Cancri E, an exoplanet mostly made of carbon. The pressure is also extremely high, so the Super Earth is really a massive diamond.
True
False
5. Time travel
Many have tried, but by our current standards this is very impossible. If it did exist, then do YOU exist?
True
False
6. Immortality
Some animals, such as Turritopsis dohrnii, a jellyfish species, can rejuvenate itself at will, causing the species to hold biological immortality. What if we spliced these genes into humans, I wonder?
True
False
7. Traveling at the speed of light
If mass tries to approach the speed of light, then the mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it, making moving that fast impossible.
True
False
8. An invisibility cloak
Though true invisibility is impossible, simply bending or redirecting light can make things appear invisible.
True
False
9. Perpetual motion
Though designs have been proposed, this breaks the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
True
False
10. Creating an artificial black hole
Scientists created a 'black hole' by cooling a gas containing thousands of Rubidium atoms that were then cooled to almost absolute zero, creating a BEC, so scientists could easily study black holes.
True
False
11. Telepathy
Two rats hundreds of miles away from each other were connected together via implants in their brain, the first rat saw two lightbulbs and the other two levers, and the second rat was meant to pull the lever that corresponded to bulb.
True
False
12. Creating a forcefield
A 'plasma window' uses magnetic fields to fill small regions with plasma/ionized gases. It even allows lasers to pass through and glows blue if the plasma is made up of argon.
True
False
13. Going to another universe
We don't even know if another universe exists!
True
False
14. Reaching absolute zero
In order to reach absolute zero, you would need to take an infinite amount of heat as you have to take more heat away from a region the colder it gets. Also, all molecular motion would stop.
True
False

Fast travel — by traveling quickly enough, space-time is warped so that time passes slower, thus making the person in the vehicle/space shuttle age slower than someone not moving at such high speeds, creating time travel. This is not yet possible.
OR
Black holes — Because black holes have infinite gravity and density, they warp space-time so much that traveling even near one slows down time for the person near it. This is very possible, since there are lots of black holes, most of which are small but still affect the flow of time. “Icarus at the Edge of Time,” a book by Brian Green, perfectly explains this with a twist of Ancient Greek mythology. Icarus, ignoring his father’s warning, ends up ten thousand years in the future.
Thus, the answer to question five is actually “True.”
And where’s the explanation for the “Creating and Artificial Black Hole.” Yes, it’s theoretically possible by filling a room with baskets of clothes filled to the brim, filling the room entirely full, then shoving an extra piece of clothing in (though very theoretical), but you need to show your evidence, or that answer could be taken as having no actual source.
Also, as an extra on Question 7, an object with mass cannot go any faster than the speed of light. It would quite literally destroy the universe, with the mass of the object becoming a value larger than infinity, tearing the fabric of space-time as it reached impossible speeds.
Great quiz.

I’m sorry, what? Last I checked, 0% meant no one, so how is the AVERAGE (the sum of all scores divided by the number of times the quiz was taken) 14?!
Just 7/14 for me.
