• Question: if you could teleport, would it work by copying the cells and particle that make us, destroying them, the re-creating them somewhere else? also, where would you teleportif you could go anywhere?

      You sound like you’re coming up with a plan to make this happen. In theory that’s how it would work, but then you’d always have the in-between space-time continuum and you wouldn’t want to get stuck there! I’d like to teleport to the top of mount Everest so I could see what it’s like without all the problems of the climb (though I wouldn’t mind climbing a little, but not all)

      You certainly seem to have a plan in position. I think we are made up of atoms and all of the atoms vibrate at a given frequency. Thus my theory is that we can identify the types of atoms and consider them as raw materials. Create the atoms/atomic configurations in the same structure vibrating at the same frequency else where and then destroy the original …it could work. What do you think?

      I think this is one to watch for the future! Last year there was a research group who managed to “teleport” photons (packets of energy) a distance of 88 miles using some very complicated lasers. People are now beginning to use this for even more secure communications. I think it would be possible to send the information of the object rather than the object itself. I’d teleport myself to somewhere nice every weekend for a holiday!

    would it not be to disassemble then re-assemble the atoms for two reasons if you could destroy the atoms
    that would kill the organism and you cant destroy atoms because you can never destroy matter only convert it
