Teleportation - A Warning

You forgot to mention, that the original is destroyed in the process.

Basically they just kill you, splice you into pieces, and reassemble a clone of you from those pieces.

@ Nick
Perhaps teleportation presently is like aviation at its earliest start. Remember those crashing creations, instable, few people believe in it.

I am convinced they will get astonishing results in a decade or 3...

"Zap" some food to Africa...think of the possibilities here...

Well, everything that will potentially bring great good has an equivalent potential to bring great evil. We cannot escape that fact.

The west is already full of non-white people.
This would make it a lot easier to send them all back.

Two thumbs up.

in response to David Scott,reconsider the comment you made here because if you think about how caucasions are in countries where they weren't welcome in the first place,the native population there would probably be thinking just as you are right now!

Well I don't use the term caucasion.

when you say "how caucasions are in countries where they weren't welcome in the first place,the native population"

What countries are you talking about?
and
What do you mean by "how caucasions are"?

Maybe fonell was referring to countries such as Australia, New Zealand, USA and South Africa.

I dont think this is possible, I believe this is fake, there´s no known study at all that describe how to separate atoms, and then put it again in another place, its just simply impossible, good sci-fic, yes, what everybody would dream, yes, if possible, dont think in this century or the next, or possible at all... in order to go from one side to another you need a path, or something that can take u to the other side, think like computers, in order to see something on the internet on the other side of the world, u need something that is physical (cable, bytes, a computer) and what is transmited is data, that a machine decode and display, not something that u can put as "data" then build it, and get out there walking. But still nice to dream

I'm surprised none of you used the phrase, "beam me up, Scotty." I agree with the first person on this list...Nick. Teleportation is impossible, and if it were possible the original would certainly be dead. Welcome to reality and be my guest to become the first teleported human. This is science fiction, not scientific reality.

I can't believe you people even take the time to comment on such rubbish. Mut be lacking for something to do.

I can't believe you take the time to comment on people commenting on "such rubbish." Must be lacking for something to do.

The current method of attempting the act of teleportation is kindred to Einsteins work on trying to find a unified field theory. The math was too pure to take into the theory all the variables. I saw that in his math in the 1960's. The pure math approach assumes I cannot touch a single key on my keyboard. In pure math before I can move my hand to a key I must travel half the distance to the keyboard. But I still have distance remaining and must travel half of that. You should get the point, that as long as I have a "digital" approach to reaching my keyboard, it cannot be done. That was the problem with Einsteins math in Unified Field, and that is the problem with the current view of teleportation. It is not...let me rephrase that...It will not me a digital, particle by particle transfer of the item or organism. First, it has to be relativistic. Just like cold fusion, it cannot be done by just putting the pieces together to form a device. It is done with a "slip" in relativity. This is accomplished by forming the so called "warp" field as you find in Sci-Fi with shows like Star Trek. Creating that field is not as difficult as you may think. It requires a new set of rules as compared the the existing rules of physics. They are all theories with evidence to support them, but in reality, the evidence will support other sets of rules that make the relativistic bubble a reality. The "machine" to perform teleportation will function within this bubble just fine. You do not die, you are not parsed out into billions of billions of bits to be put together later. You simply exist and where you exist can easily be changed.
Some of the problems stated in this tread are actually moot. The bubble defined can only exist within certain magnetic areas, and the effects of the bubble created are far reaching in what is known as sub-space [string theory the 5th folded universe, being the most active] and is not perceived in this existence. But the bubbles know. They would have a minimum distance to be separated or they could not form. That distance on the planets surface would be 6630km or about 4,120 miles. This little calculation comes from an observation in quantum mechanics, particularly an issue with the photon. This limits the number of ports that can operate to about 200 in the US, or Canada, if operation is synchronized in pairs.
Enough said.

rather curiously the website mentioned above by "it's true" (ironically named) doesn't seem to exist. i tried it and got nowhere. a careful examination of the cbc.ca site turned up no references to teleportation. (If it was old, however, it simply might require burrowing into their archives which i have no desire nor time to do.) However, i must admit that i have not done a search on the www for the subject. In terms of energy consumption, teleportation is a hog, but QM experiments do indicate that, at least on an atomic scale, teleportation is possible.

On a side note, recent experiments have resulted in the creation of another sci fi device: a microwave "cloaking device" which has remarkable potential for the military. Currently it is not practical to implement the technology on a scale that would be useful for the military, but that is probably not far off in the future.

And lastly, just because a technology is a good one doesn't mean that it can be mastered. Scientists around the world have been working to tame nuclear fusion in a controlled environment since the end of WWii because the promise of nuclear fusion as an energy source is unequaled in its potential to truly change the world we live in. But it has been a technological nightmare, and the so-called "break even" point still seems to be years away. At this point in time, i would have to say that teleportation of large, macroscopic objects (even inanimate ones) is farther away than controlled nuclear fusion!

Real scientists, with REAL credentials wouldn't even make such absurd conclusions about a theoretical technology.

You all have no life! go outside or something!

Cmon you people GET A LIFE

from Aus+NZ i don't know. from Russia - it's discribing an USAF document Studing teleportation (etc) - some geometry-definded mashine
from Africa-it's sattelites & Internet coverings and solutions; from China-it's mashine which teleport real objects using differences in frequences and resonations. For USA -this is only talking and collecting data about, for Europe it's all about quantuum tel. For Japan I don't know, for others we don't know.
