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…

    Interesting concepts One other thing that comes to mind is that we would need to figure out the differences between a living pile of atoms and a non-living one. For example, what makes a living creature…

    If my calculations are correct (Probably not), there are 7x10^27 atoms in the human body. The worlds fastest super computer can do 1x10^15 calculations per second. Now if any of this was possible the super computer would take 31709791 years to calculate the disassembly of the human body in correct order and that again to reassemble. This would mean it would take around 6 million years for this transport to be complete. I am sure the computer would crash sometime in this process. Question is, what would happen then? As well, if it was successful are you technically dead for all those years or just in suspension? So many questions and not many answers for this to be possible at this time. For now I am sticking to flying in a plane for air travel image
