This is science fiction no device has ever been created that could do this type of thing. It would be easier to travel through time than to teleport two inches. The problem is that the molecules could be disassembled in one place and be reassembled in another without any loss of one molecule. Also, there would be a problem of transporting the molecules from one location and moving them to another location. How could you get them there?
Molecules could not travel over radio waves like sound could. Plus the radio waves would spread out over distances and not stay a tight stream and lose their integrity. The molecules would have to be able to be transported in tight beam.
If a persons molecules could be transported like electricity through wires it maybe possible. However to be able to break down a persons molecular structure and keep them alive would be a big problem. As soon as you could break down their molecular structure they would die. Even if you could reassemble them they probably would not live through the process.
Man in all of his technology has been able to develop nuclear power and destroy nations with that technology. To be able to teleport humans or anything for that matter would account for destroying it and rebuilding it. Such as creation. With all our abilities we cannot create life only God can do that.
This transporter device that is portrayed in the Star Trek series basically destroys life and recreates it somewhere else. Thats what makes the device impossible to make. So the answer to this question is there is no way we could ever create a working transporter. Its nice to dream the impossible but somethings defy the laws of nature. No matter what you believe man can never break the laws of physics. It is not possible to build such a device.
Man can look to the stars and dream big things and somethings are possible but not all things can be made to work. I would love to be able to teleport from one place to another. If it ever were possible I would never need a car to drive ever again.

Post a CommentGreat article. I have read about scientists actually tranporting matter with something like this... also, Australian scientists transported a laser beam. Neat stuff.
Excellent article! My brother is a Trekkie so we always had to watch the show. I always thought it was cool when I was younger.
Great article :-)
I remember the Star Trek episodes when Capt. Kirk and crew would be in the transporter (which wasn't functioning correctly) and their molecules would be forming then disappearing. Finally, their bodies would take form and all was well. It would be nice to be able to transport from place to place though, wouldn't it?
Great explanation for the science behind this idea! :)
Me too! Good article.
