Looked at the black hole site, and found this:
In fact we can't really prove it without a lot of quantum physics (It depends on the tunnel-effect).
That's what I was talking about when I said teleportation.
another site said something similar, to what I think, about it...
"Imagine throwing a handful of pebbles lightly at a window, and most of them bounced back, just as you expect, but a few of them disappeared on this side of the glass and reappeared on the other side of the window without breaking the glass. Welcome to the Tunnel effect in the surreal world of quantum physics where the pebbles are smaller than atoms.
In modern electronics tunnel diodes take an electron from here and put it there without allowing it to occupy the intervening space, or as the textbooks drily put it, "the penetration of the wave function into the classically forbidden region." Scanning tunneling electron microscopes work on this principle. An electric field applied to a metal tip so that the electrons in the tip have enough energy to reach a metal surface underneath for a short distance. However the electrons cannot exist in the vacuum between the tip and the surface. A small current results from the electrons tunneling out of the tip,
teleporting from the tip to the surface. No electron can be detected between the tip and the surface.
The electron "pebble" on this side of the barrier has a tiny chance that it
could also be a metre to the left, ten centimetres upwards, or even on the
other side of the barrier. So when you send lots of low energy electrons or
photons against a barrier, a small fraction of them appear on the other
side.
This kind of disappearing and re-appearing act happens all the time within
individual atoms. Electrons orbit an atomic nucleus in shells of different
sizes and distances, sort of like a planet orbiting the sun, but where the
planet is smeared out into a ball around the sun. The electrons can move
nearer or closer or further away from the nucleus as they gain or lose
energy, say by absorbing or emitting light. However, the electrons are not
allowed to be between these shells. The space between orbits is a forbidden
zone. So how do electrons make the jump from an inner orbit to an outer
orbit if they're not allowed to travel the space in between - the
no-mans-land Pauli exculsion zone? The answer is that they use the tunnel
effect. They disappear from their old orbit and reappear in the new orbit,
without the bother of actually moving through the space in-between. It kind of puts old Captain Kirk to shame.
This is what I'd call REAL teleportation. Captain Kirk had the kind of
teleportation being researched in the labs of the University of Wales, IBM
laboratories, and many other institutions. Its a major factor in unbreakable
quantum cryptography. Briefly you convert the original Kirk into a coded
signal, killing him in the process. You then send this file by radio or by
post, or by wire to the receiver, where Kirk is resurrected - destroying his
file in the process. You'd never get me travelling on one of the damn
things! And of course, the maximum speed is lightspeed."

I, dunno if that is an appropiate definition, but that's what I was referring to.
EDITED
, it was already determined that paradox would occur and that our time traveller would experience a mico second of horror before they realise their ultimate fate...forever.
