As for me.....I know they can get single protons to "teleport" across space -- say, a room -- because I've read the news articles. But if only my protons get sent, I am going to be one **very** unhappy woman.

No one has ever actually managed to transfer matter - which is essentially what would be required to teleport humans around the place - this remains impossible.

Theroetically there are ways to do similar kinds of things - but these aren't ways that would work with matter on a large scale. And certainly aren't able to overcome the problems that the individual (in terms of human personality) would come across in being teleported.

Oddly enough, Star Trek never really delved into just what a mind fuck it would be.

Yes this remains impossible for now but who know what the future will hold. I remember read an old si-fi book writen some time in the late 50's. It had a super computer (was a little less powerful the most dest top ones now days) that took up a 5mile square block. Now if you would have told people back then that something like that could fit in a box that would sit on a dest top they most likely would have told you it was impossible. So who it to realy say what the future holds for us.

Booger,

Yes. Why are there no PCs on Arcturus 7? The SF writers definately overlooked that. Asimov, Clark, Heinlein, Herbert, Niven; I'd have thought that one of them would have speculated that the size of computers would drop.

Perhaps the more recent SF authors included desktop machines in their stories.

Whilst it is true that science continually exceeds its own expectations and it is almost impossible to predict what the future may hold the challenge of the consequences of teleportation are such that not even current medical knowledge can allow for.

Making computers smaller was simply a matter of technological advances. It's a purely physical problem. There is almost nothing in the world which, once invented, has not been made smaller, lighter or stronger by the application of new materials.

Teleportation is a very different matter. You're not talking about making anything but about changing things. Indeed, quite the reverse, you mustn't create anything. Talk of teleportation by 'reading the structure' of the human in one place and recreating them in another (the only way teleportation has so far been achieved) is riddled with flaws. Both in terms of our understanding of our physical make up and in terms of what constitutes our identity. Would the recreated human be the same person who was deconstructed at the other end? Would all our thoughts and memories survive such a trip? Quite apart from this, it implies that we can simply create humans from matter if we have the right information to hand.

Given the choice of making something smaller or overcoming such obstacles I know which ones most scientists would choose.

Much as many may like it to happen, the days of teleporting Pixies around the galaxy for erotic encounters with suitably equipped alien creatures are still firmly in the realm of fantasy. And the odd teleported photon does almost nothing to change this.

africandan,

I can think of several Pixie ladies I've ALREADY fantasized about teleporting into an erotic encounter! MMMmmmmm.

Aren't you talking about Entanglement?

No. Entanglement not only involves quantum effects (which don't apply to humans in the same way as particles) but also links two particles which already exist. In teleportation the aim is to have one particle which exists in one place and then in another - but the two particles cannot exist at the same time (as they would have to to be entangled) because otherwise you have a duplicate of a pre-existing person and you're not teleporting them from one place to another).
