Whenever I've thought about this, it makes me think that if you were to use it on a person (if we had the technology) it wouldn't be so much as Transporting one person to another place but rather killing the original and making a copy somewhere else. I haven't looked a ton into this so I don't know all the scientific things that would go into it :/ . What do you think?

Teleportation requires the 4th dimension, or the ability to use time as a medium for transportation.

Killing the original and making a copy somewhere else would just make it more confusing, I think.

According to a theory, a moving mass's perception of the world around it is slower. A mass moving at the speed of light is said to see time completely stop.

Of course this is just a theory and we're no way near moving at the speed of light....yet

It's on How Stuff Works.

They can teleport, although yes, it will require making a copy and killing the original, in todays world anyway.

You would have to think with Portals first.

I always thought it had to do with stripping something down to its constituents, saving that as data, sending to another teleport module/location, and re-assembling the constituents in the same way as the original. That sounds easy enough. But then you have to take into account that there are other factors to life, and that stripping away the physical being leaves the non-physical behind. It's like making a clone, it's a shell, so to speak.

They could break down your molecular structure, into small parts that can go super fast. They zoom to the desired location and are reconstructed on the other side. Yes? No? Blush

But what about your mind.

Is your mind a physical object? Is it tangible?
What if it is only electrical signals or wave pulses. Who is to say that if those signals are interrupted (if existent) wouldn't cease all function of the mind? Erase thoughts, memories, damage your mind to a state of irreparable return?


Think of it like changing a TV channel. You being on one channel can represent you being in one location. If you change the channel, it represents you teleporting to a different location.

But what happens when you change the channel? What ever is being broadcasted is totally different. That represents how warping would effect your mind.



However, if you really sit down to think about it... who is to say that if you want to teleport.. that YOU have to break yourself down and travel?

Why can't the two locations themselves break down and switch, thus creating a rupture.. or some kind... making some sort of doorway between the two points. When completed, the two locations revert back to normal.

The USAF made a "stargate" that can transport atoms a few years ago.

Here is one article about it: http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2005-02/forget-rocket-ships-teleport
