Dr. Alicia Smith, after decades, finally built her quantum entanglement communicator. Afterward, space colonies used quantum relay stations to send instantaneous holographic information.

Professor Smith then got a better idea to demolecularize objects to send them through the quantum relays. Her invention was successful, creating the first teleporter.

It soon became the dominant method of space travel.

Jacob, her assistant, regularly quantum-commuted from Earth to Mars to work with Dr. Smith and continue expanding the teleporter's abilities.

"Good morning, Professor."

"Good morning, Jacob. How did you grow your beard so fast?"

"Dr. Smith, I've always had a beard …"

Dr. Smith further researched, discovering reports of unusually high incidences of a post-teleportation 'Mandela Effect.'

She entered the data into a super AI …

"Why is it happening?" she asked in plain English.

"According to my calculations, teleportation entanglement isn't occurring as you suspected. It's likely tapping into a compatible universe from the multiverse. The information you receive is not necessarily endemic nor native."

Dr. Smith gazed at her Martian lab's viewing portal. "I've gone through the teleporter thousands of times. Does that mean I'm no longer home?"
