    Ok, so I don't believe in "traditional" teleportation, and someone said to me "We should have teleporters by now.". I told him that there are only 2 ways teleportation is possible, and they are technically impossible. 1:Rip open space (which we as of now only understand via math, we do not actually understand it to this extent) and walk through it, or "wrinkle" it like in the book "a wrinkle in time" and "pop" out on the "other side". But as of now even theorys of doing that are solely based on math, and the existence of "worm" or (also completely theoretically) "black" holes. 2:Break a human down to particles, molecules, or somehow waves. Then shoot them to another place, and rearrange them, which is impossible because the act of "vaporizing" your body into particles, would make you a dead person.


    And this realization led to our discovery of teleportation.
    What you do is leave a DNA sample and somehow a memory sample (that's the only part that has yet to be invented) with the "teleportation" company. This company sets up suicide booths all over the country, and within these machines is the means to harvest DNA and memory. Since blasting your body into particles would kill you anyways, you allow this machine to kill you. Then you are either instantly woken up as a clone (which is possible, we just aren't sure if it's "ethically ok" to make a human clone so we don't do it, and there is the memory issue)
    of yourself, which they would have ready at any of your regular "teleportation" locations (and you wouldn't have your memory, but you would be able to leave yourself a message before you died), but if it was a non-regular point of travel (like a vacation destination, or a business trip) they could use the extra time to make the clone, with full memories.

    So, there's a possibility of teleportation. It's just kinda... This^^

    Teleportation of quantum information has already been accomplished over a distance of 89 miles off the coast of Spain.

    I think we already have a way of feasibly transporting material but it's a highly guarded secret or military tech.

    Not teleportation of humans though.

    I doubt it. They would have to be able to tear a person apart and put them back together.

    Who knows? They could probably do things that we only read about in sci fi. I think if we could somehow do it, they'd keep it secret to utilize it for security. Transporting assassins and they could probably transport poisons into a body if they could transport material (making assassins obsolete). It's all conjecture. Again who knows what they're capable of?

    You're right that they would keep it a secret, but I really don't think they know how to do it.

    I just got back from your place (using electromagnetic space-time warping).

    Eww, put some clothes on.

    I think I'd prefer public transport, or take an aeroplane, thanks.

    I never said it was practical. And there's no way I would do it. I just said this is the only way it's kinda possible right now.

    Present time then go to future, or past can be done but its guess work.

    Coming back to present life wont be possible. Once you go, your gone.

    No, it can not be done. THEORETICALLY it can be done, but I believe those theories are based on flawed math and that we will never discover true time travel until we look passed the "discoveries" of the past :D

    i think you should write a short story or novel about this form of teleportation.

    you could imagine all sorts of shit going wrong...

    It's not the only way.
    How about they cryogenically freeze your body - temporarily stopping all functions. Then data map your entire body and then send it over fibre optic cables. Then unfreeze on the other side. Cryogenic chamber to cryogenic chamber.
    Ever see tron?
    The only point would be to travel from one planet to another.

    So being killed and then memories transferred into a clone is?

    No not with clones. You body can be mapped like they do in tron and star trek. The freezing is so every atom/neuron/etc can be perfectly 'scanned' (the laser needs to know exactly where everything is at a given moment), and transferred into a buffer to be sent to another chamber on the other side. It's not as complicated as I am making it.

    Yeah. Because when you tear apart the body to "teleport" it, you have to kill the person anyways. So until we figure out how to rearrange the transported destroyed person, and have them alive when they are rearranged, it's kinda the only way.
