Is it possible to transport humans and things through air?

dixonselvan

I wonder how it would be if we can transport human beings or other things like luggage, goods and livestock through air. Something similar to teleport. Is it really possible to break atoms and combine them again at a different place? image

  • It is a mind boggling exercise to even quantify the problem.

    There are 7 x 10 to the 27th power atoms in a human. One issue of many is you need a machine that can record the type of atom, its state and its location with atomic precision of all these atoms at exactly the same time.

    To provide some perspective, all the data on all google servers combined is less than 10 to the 19th power bytes - not even close to enough to capture the state of one human.

    Transmitting this amount of data at the fastest known speeds might take longer than the universe has been in existence.

    The closest thing we could attempt in the foreseeable future is growing a clone from DNA. Incidentally DNA is a promising way to store vast amounts of data.

    Thank you for your numerical statistical explanation about atoms and storage needed to store data.

     

    Cloning DNA! I have heard cloning human parts like ear, nose but this is new to hear. Thanks again.

     

    Is the below is what you are referring to by cloning DNA?
