Is a teleportable machine possible?? Why or why not??

Answer 1

waltz down near my basement and see pal

Answer 2

Gene's answer is correct, but a bit abrupt I think.

Through somethiing called quantum coupling, scientists have been able to "teleport" quanta characteristics from one coupled quantum to its twin. For example, if a quantum has a plus spin and its coupled twin also has a plus spin, the twin's spin will go negative "simultaneously" with the first quantum going into a negative spin. Lab experiments have done this; so it's not fiction anymore.

On the macro level, that's somethiing like changing the color of a twin's brown hair to blond and seeing the other twin's hair turn to blond at the same time. Is that teleportation...in my opinion it is not, because it requires a twin. True teleportation, a la Star Trek, does not require a twin Captain Kirk for Scottie to beam the captain up.

And, if you read the cited source, you will note there is even doubt as to if the "teleportation" is really simultaneous. This stems from S = vt; where distance (S) traveled in t time at velocity v. So if t = 0 (simultaneous/instant), then S/t = v = S/0 ---> infinity > c the speed of light. So if coupling teleportation is really simultaneous, the speed of light barrier is busted no matter what the distance between the coupled quanta twins.

Answer 3

Something from A to B is not possible today.
In the future, perhaps matter will be able to be transported.
Human organic matter just might not fit the requirements.

As far as teleportation backwards or forwards in time, I do not believe it to be possible, no matter how advanced we become. Its also too dangerous. Paychex was a good movie, but the theory was a little off, has alot to do with fate, and that everything that is going to happen is cemented in place and planned or destined. The universe (including us..) is too fluid and based on actions/reactions for anything to be that predictable. The future is what we make it. Yay technology!

The problem with killing someone and re-constructing them is that they might be there, but probably still be dead. You cannot teleport the soul, or the life force. You cannot keep the brain firing in the right order, and you cannot transfer memories. They are too volatile. Its like reflashing your Bios, its risky. Might work, but if it doesnt, your board goes catatonic. Wipe a strong magnet across your HDD and its gone, wont boot. (in most cases)

Transporting objects? SURE! circumvent freight companies and take Semi trucks off the road, SURE! quick FTP-like transport of goods or prototypes between companies or consumers sounds like an excellent idea to me. A revolution.

Answer 4

I believe the answer is yes. But i dont belive that using the same atoms/base units to compse something from point a to point b to be the same exact atoms/base units. I believe if you can map a human body with a supercomputer, in atoms/base unit structure you can then kill the person or de materialize them. Then you can use different atoms at a different supercomputer to reconstruct the human/object.If you killed the person with a knife after you constructed their atom blueprint i believe that the human reconstructed would have no recollection of them being stabbed to death but yet retain all information learned previously to the blueprint.anyways thats my thoughts expand if you wish. Btw if you cannot reconstruct something living because of its soul, then waht about cloning.We cant teleport thing sin this sense now but anything is possible in the future.

Answer 5

Most definitely it is possible. Scientists have been teleporting photons for a few years. Check this site:

Answer 6

Right now the only thing we can "transport" are quantum states; no matter or photons have really be teleported.
