Beam Me Up Scotty
Some people think that teleportation is not possible, while other people think that it
is, and they are doing it.
The idea behind teleportation is that an object is equivalent to the information needed
to construct it, the object can then be transported by transmitting the information in
bytes,(1 byte= 1 yes or no answer) along a channel of telecommunications-communications,
on the other end of the line is a receiver that reconstructs the object using the
information given. Just like a fax machine except that a normal document fax takes up
about 20 kilobytes (20,000 bytes) where as a human "fax" or teleportation would take 10
Gigabytes (100,000,000,000 bytes) for just one millimeter of human (A Fun Talk On
Teleportation). But with a few technical breakthroughs, you might imagine, you'd be able
to teleport over to a friend's house for dinner simply by stepping into a scanner that
would record all the information about the atoms making you up, With all the data
collected, the machine would then vaporize your body and relay the information to your
friend's teleporter, which would rebuild you using basic molecular elements.
Some people don't try to think of a scientific answer to it, they just know that they
can move something from point A to point B.
There are many kinds of teleportation, one kind is transferring a picture of an image to
a piece of film in a special camera called a tele-camera, the teleporter sticks the lens
of the camera to hiser fore head and thinks about the picture as hard as they can, most
of the time it doesn't show up on the film but a couple of times the picture usually a
picture of a building or historical marker barely shows up.
Another kind of teleportation is Water Witching, which is the act of bending small metal
objects such as a spoon or some keys without touching them. A famous instance of Water
Witching is a famous witcher was on a popular television show, during the show the man
bent a fork and a spoon, several people called the station saying that while the show all
the forks and spoons all bent up.
Usually when somebody says teleportation people usually think Star Trek, but instead of
stepping onto a scanner and moving your body, some people can actually lift themselves in
the air by just hypnotizing themselves. In maybe a few years with a little more
technology people might replace cars, buses, trains and planes with a teleporter.
