Physics - February 2007

In watching Star Trek & the Fly, the teleporters all beckon the question- is teleportation a science that is a physical impossibility- or is it a possibility? What is the mechanical process that would break a solid object down into energy? And what reassembles that object on the other side? And is it possible what arrives is in fact the same thing that teleported, or simply a copy therof? The Fly presented an interesting notion- with two lifeforms in a telepod, they would be spliced together if teleported. Of course since we carry thousands of miscroscopic organisms, wouldn't thier genes be spiced as well?
I never understood why on Star trek, people beaming up and down didnt collapse into a puddle of protoplasm- unless they were in a gravity free field, that kept them upright until they fully beamed in.
Do you think teleportaion, as depicted in Star trek can ever be acheived?
How could an object in motion be teleported, yet retain its original form and appearance?

A fuse is wired in series with a light. If the filament of the bulb is a metal (e.g., tungsten), is the fuse more likely to blow-out immediately after the switch is closed or some later time after the bulb has been on for a while? Explain your answer. What if the filament were made from a semiconducting material (e.g., carbon)?

If the universe were to eventually get that cold where matter itself might collapse, would the force of gravity cease? I wonder if anybody knows this, and am really looking forward to an INTELLIGENT answer!

With any microscope or with any machine to be developed in the future - Can we see the neutrons? If it is possible can we see the atoms of glass? Generally more than 90% of light passes directly through a glass. Then very less light may redirect to our eyes through microscope. Can we watch the atoms or molecules of pure glass then?
