You mean like appearing in two places at the same time or instantaneous communication without interaction or effects preceding their causes. That stuff never happens in physics.

Particles being in two places at once has been a common experiment in quantum mechanics for a couple decades but then for the purposes of high tech there is the person here and his hologram over there.

Feyman diagrams require effects to be before their causes.

Radio and TV are indistinguishable from instantaneous.
