This feat was accomplished by using lasers and incredibly strong electromagnetic fields to change ordinary light into matter. The results of this experiment may allow for the development of variety of technological gadgets. One such development could be matter/energy transporters or food replicators that are commonly seen in some of our favorite science fiction programs. For more information, check out the following site: http://www.geog.ouc.bc.ca/conted/on...10/210_2_2.html I'm an aspiring science fiction writer and what I want to do in my story is achieve teleportation by actually teleporting the people themselves, not their properties like in quantum teleportation. So, I began thinking about how I was going to do that. I thought about creating a teleporter that works by converting matter into energy and reconverting the energy back into matter and being able to pass through walls and ceilings, sort of like radio signals. 1) Is matter and energy conversion a good candidate for true teleportation? 2) Does conversion of matter into energy and vice-versa in this case imply the destruction of the person undergoing the process, only to be replaced by a replica who was literally born into existence once the energy was reconverted back into matter?

Some questions on Matter and Energy
replied on: 12/10/2004 2:11:04 PM I believe that if you are looking into teleportaion you might have better luck looking into quantum phisics. Parallel universes where you would jump sideways and back again to complete teleportation. You would be you just a little older than the place you left. Check out the book Timeline, in the prefix Micheal Criton talks about actual research on this subject. |

Some questions on Matter and Energy
replied on: 12/19/2004 8:06:39 AM Unfortunatly however much I want teleportion to be able Quantum Physics just says no. This is because of Heisman's Uncertainty Priciple, this states that you can never actually measure the position an the velocity of a an object. In simple terms there is a ball on the table let turn on the lights and measure it. Whoops! By turning on the lights the photons in the light have altered the position of the ball only by a little bit but it has still done it. So lets turn out the lights. Oh no! Now we can't see the ball so we can't measure it! But what are these implications in teleportation well if you don't know EXACTLY where an object is you can't teleport itand unfortunatly teleportion is impossible. If might be worth goggling Heisman's Uncertainty Principle or Teleportation if you want more infomation. Also if you want ask some more questions  Hope that helps!

replied on: 1/17/2005 4:50:30 AM it is my understanding that photons dont have mass... if they dont have mass, how can they force... and in turn move something |

replied on: 1/19/2005 1:54:27 PM Even through Photons don't have a mass which is quite correct there do have force. Also I think that my previous post was quite vague the theory behing HUP is that you can not measure both velocity and position because you will be interferring with the other if you measured the first, making the idea of transportation IMPOSSIBLE!
