will it be possible to send people in a beam of light along with all the life support equipment to far of distant galaxies and be reconstituted as reaches its destination from materials at source could the start of life on our own planet have been sent this way either from a dimension or a vast expanse of space.

I suppose instantaneous molecular matter transport could happen some day but it won't be light that would be used, for complicated reasons of physics. It would have to be more like leaving and re-entering the space-time continuum, or something along those lines.

No. The best possible strategy for transporting lifeforms great distances will have to be to distort time/space (folding space time).
As for the jerk that mentioned for you to go back and watch Star Trek reruns...disregard his retort. Although some of the science Star Trek talks about is a wee bit on the "pseudo" side...a lot of it is explainable with today's physics.
PS: transporters in the Star Trek universe uses energy waves to molecularly transport lifeforms, not light beams.

I suppose you could disassemble and reassemble and transport via electromagnetic waves a human body if we had the technology,but I doubt that you could ever do the same thing with a human mind.

Since light actually interacts with matter, I'd say that you TECHNICALLY could transport something by using light. (Light has engergy, energy can be used for power, power can be used for transport.) However, I think the solution for your question is Sci-Fi.

Nope. First of all, we'll much too complex to be turned into information and there would have to be a machine already there to reassemble you. Back to the Star Trek reruns for you.

That doesn't sound so much like sending people as it does faxing them.... The original stays home, and you send a copy to go do the dirty work.

You have zero best answer. But you can judge several answers you had had and imagine from there.
