it is possible but it will take decades even century for us to conjure such a machine.

but for now think of the movie "the fly"

I don't care if it's possible or not. I would NEVER use anything like that. I mean, converting matter to waves is already complicated enough. (and if I recall, an atomic bomb does just that). It just seems to me like it's too dangerous. I do like science a lot, but if you ask me, that is just too much into the extreme portion of science. I would much rather use a teleporter to transfer an item rather than a human being. Plus, this stuff makes humans seem to not be living or anything (who would want to exist even for a second as nothing but waves?). Still, though. Things like this are pretty interesting. I would actually like to see this accomplished. Just not for human transportation.

im not scared about losing the mental part of me. what happens if particles are lost. liek jsut a FEW? Everytime you use teleportation...you'd end up like 1/2 inch shorter. or a finger mising. or something. jeez i dont trust that stuff. I'll leave it for a future generation, but teleportation is not for me.

hey dude!, it's quite interesting, imagine that you could work in mars; you take your quantum phone and call to your wife, -hello darling, i'm editing the report to the ultimate xtreme mars rally, i'm dirnking a glass of water from venus, so, i finish it and go to home, pd, i have separated a table in the hard rock caffe of the moon, so i would like you to put that dress i like, ciao!- and then you go to your personal teleportator, ask it to go first to the market and buy a beautyful dozen of roses, and go to your home just on time!.

it sounds real good, but unfortunately i don't believe i can see this wonderful technology, even, i don't think that human or live form can be teleportated, the mystery of life goes beyond science, think in this:
there is a man who have never drinked, never has tasted the flower of one marlboro or cigarrete, he runs all the mornings, has a beautyful girlfriend, and a grateful life, in conclution he is a healthy boy, all his organs are perfect, he has pure blood in his veins, and nothing affect him.
one day the guy in his excersises for a reason that nobaody knows, he has a heart attack, maybe he overestimated his physic state, and for reasons that also nobody knows there is no body near to help him, maybe hi is scaling mountains or climbing the everest, so the man death. After a couple of hours, after this healthy guy is well death, he is finded by his neighbor or somebody else, and then he is bringed to a hospital to see what happened, think that there is nothing to do, he will never live again.

The point is, after the man has lost his life, there is nothing to do, even if all your organs are intact, after your soul has leaved your body there is nothing more to do, so i think that for life being teleportation, it should be necessary to teleport your soul, vital energy, existence, call it as you want, to the new location, and as love, life is something that cannot be hold with your hands, so i think life teleportation cannot be true.

however i can't imagine the several aplications of this technology, may be yo can taste a glass of water from venus, if we can't, robots can, and they can do all that we. other thousands of aplications can be inplemented, like a personal bank in your pcPORTATION, a good dinner in your desk in seconds from any place of the world, and bla bla bla, just leave it to your imagination.

Although teleporting is a complicated subject, I reckon it will be around in the future. Technology is improving all the time. What we thought impossible hundreds of years ago, is what we consider old fashioned now.

I'm not convinced life would be able to match what happens in the computer games or in sci-fi movies though, there's so much that could go wrong. In reality, as mentioned in some of the previous posts, if a multiple amount of people or living beings teleport at the same time, some of the genetics could become mixed up. You could go into the teleporter as male, come out female or as another animal.

Would be nice though, if we could move to another place in the matter of seconds. For example, people could leave time to the last minute, then teleport themselves to wherever they need to go. Would also help with the traffic congestion. Everyone could teleport instead of travelling by vehicles.
Would probably be very expensive though, and would most probably involve training due to health and safety concerns and whatnot.

Science is a very interesting subject, but I don't think teleporting will be invented within the next century. Flying cars will be existent before teleporters in my opinion.
