Wow I can't believe we figured out how to teleport objects, when will humans be next?

Crazy stuff. Thanks for posting.

It's still a good 30-40 years away. The idea of teleporting living objects is a nice one but it's very difficult to tear apart all the molecules etc etc of a human and put it back together again on the other side.

There's just way too many complications.

This is what I have always wondered about teleporting humans; How could a living organism survive having all of its molecules torn a part? Even if you did somehow survive, it seems like it would have to be very painful at the least.

Well there's the whole point about the spirit/soul. So let's say the physical body can be torn apart and put together again but the soul survives it.

Either way it's basically an impossibility IMO.

I think this will benefit communications more so than transportation.

If the technology can be mastered, our current form of transporting information digitally could become obsolete.

It'll take time, but I think it's the next step.

You don't say Einstein! lol It will take longer then that, who is going to be willing to be teleported. Some body parts might not be in the same place lol.

Easssssy, Bones. Do you really know that it's done at the molecular level.... or are you just quoting something from a Star Trek convention? lol

I read about the concept from a book that takes ST concepts and applies real world physics to them.

Being able to teleport would be cool
