Abstract
The difference between proximal and distal stimuli is discussed and an example of the significance of this difference to physics is pointed out in the area of quantum teleportation. In particular, experimental evidence concerning the relative status of the distal stimulus to the observer points toward the relative nature of spatial orientation of objects. In quantum teleportation, this result indicates that the amount of classical information that needs to be transmitted to support the quantum transfer of information may be greater than is expected when the distal stimulus is assumed, as it ordinarily is, to have an absolute orientation in relation to the observer.
