Is it possible to teleport like in star trek?



Answers:
the military can already do it
no
not for people
If it's not then I've no idea how I got to work.
Your having a laugh
course it is! and so is intergalactic travel, like in star trek.
Yes. Send me a cash order for £500,000 and I'll show you how
Not physically.
about 20 or 30 years from now i think it will be possable
Haven't some boffins somewhere tried this with Atoms. I'm pretty sure the original particle is destroyed and a copy made?

Or I could just be making it up?!!
IT GOES AGAINST QUANTUM PHYSICS
no
It is possivble to teleport, but not like in Star Trek. Its more like the Mike TV scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Science has not yet figured out how to do it on the large-scale like Star Trek, but has been able to teleport atoms. They transferred key properties of one particle to another without any physical link. So Simon, you're right.

This is only a small first step towards teleporting like Scotty from Start Trek, but it's the same general principle. Disassemble particle in one location and recreate in another. instant teleportation. Some obvious moral questions arise if they ever do reach the level of sophistication to teleport humans. Would the recreated person be the same person or a clone? Would it transfer his/her soul (if you believe in one?)? In several shows and movies, they highlighted these issues with characters refusing to use the teleporter because of the potential pitfalls and malfunctions. A couple of these were Spaceballs and the Star Trek series itself.
No it doesn't

It may be possible with wormholes once we have constructed a wormhole creator.
It must be. i was in the pub last night and woke up under a bridge this morning. no other way to explain that!
Not yet. You have to wait a little longer
Maybe, but not in the near future. I believe that if such technology were available, it would be similar to that shown in the movie, "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum.

Hope this was helpful.
Firstly, you would need a complete bio scan, mapping all of the cell details, neural pathways, etc. down to an individual atom scale.

Next you would need a device that would completely destroy a human body in seconds, breaking it down into pure energy, so that it can be transmitted to a reciever, which would then, like the food machines in the Star Trek kitchens, re-process the components into the original person (This leads to interesting questions about the soul and, even if you had a body, would you be able to animate it?) This would require a significant amount of power.

Option 2 is to creat a mini black hole, or tear in the fabric of spacetime. Black holes are very big in the gravity department, so you would need an energy efficient means of creating one and a way of absorbing all of that gravity - a sump of some kind. Perhaps you could create a hole based on electromagnetic energy, rather than gravity, which is considerably weaker in this dimension.

The power requirements for generating black holes are really, really huge. If you could do all of the above, chances are you wouldn't bother with simple teleportation, since your level of science would give you virtual God like power.
As Simon and C D said it is possible but only on an atomic level. And there are indeed moral ramifications to it as well. But basically a teleporter works almost like a fax machine. It takes an object, dissasembles it into 1s and 0s and sends it off to another machine to be reassembled on the other side (Ironically, this is the same way the Stargate works as well!). I would imagine that a teleporter would at first look like the one in "The Fly" or "Timeline". I dunno about you but the idea of being molecularly deconstructed is a little scary, but get me to a Stargate and I'll be happy.
No, it is not.
sure, you can buy one at Best Buy for only $45,435,234,765,345.95. But it comes without the trillion terabit memory core which is needed to accomplish a successful teleport. They start at around $95 billion and go up from there.
Yea, they sell the transporters on the market in Wigan.
i can.. but im not telling you how... :-)
