We all remember the many episodes of Star Trek. In each Star Trek episode the transporter was used. The transporter was a human teleportation device. The device was used to dematerialize a person molecules and rematerialize a person in another location. The actual working of this device is purely science fiction. What if a device like this really existed and really worked? Is it possible?This is science fiction no device has ever been created that could do this type of thing. It would be easier to travel through time than to teleport two inches. The problem is that the molecules could be disassembled in one place and be reassembled in another without any loss of one molecule. Also, there would be a problem of transporting the molecules from one location and moving them to another location. How could you get them there?
Molecules could not travel over radio waves like sound could. Plus the radio waves would spread out over distances and not stay a tight stream and lose their integrity. The molecules would have to be able to be transported in tight beam.
If a persons molecules could be transported like electricity through wires it maybe possible. However to be able to break down a persons molecular structure and keep them alive would be a big problem. As soon as you could break down their molecular structure they would die. Even if you could reassemble them they probably would not live through the process.
Man in all of his technology has been able to develop nuclear power and destroy nations with that technology. To be able to teleport humans or anything for that matter would account for destroying it and rebuilding it. Such as creation. With all our abilities we cannot create life only God can do that.
