Is it possible to transport humans and things through air?

Thanks DAB for pinpointing about State of atoms and Morality in implementing the idea. Yes, even cloning humans is immoral and I agree with you that I won't opt for killing myself and then recreating me.

Also, thank you for the data saving stuff and how you related it with the errors we receive while searching in Google. Nobody will like to live with errors.

I am still wondering if not humans what about non-living stuff like luggage, goods. Can we try experimenting with them or do they also have limitations?

Ha Ha I never thought about this while phrasing the discussion topic!

Thank you dr-jhc for quoting Heinsberg's Uncertainty principle and energy. Yes, it will be tough then in the case everything is in constant motion.

As I said earlier, even with my simple atomic model, there is a lot of issues with first capturing the true state of each atom and then reassembling that state somewhere else.

We currently do not have the technology to do this.

That said, as my research continues, we are learning more about how photons interact with atoms in physics, chemistry and biology to the point were there just might be a way to manipulate individual atoms with a fair degree of control.  At this point I am just defining some experiments where I can verify my atomic structure and the effect of photon transfer.

In theory, we should be able to reconstruct an atomic structure atom by atom, so structural things might be built.  At this point I do see a potential for the original Star Trek replicator device, but there are many technical details yet to work out.

I have just begun to dig into chemical and biological structures, but I can say that they are another level of complexity beyond just the physical atomic interactions.  I do however, see the same photon transfer effect in these areas as well, so once we get to the physical construction, chemical structures should also be possible.  Biology, in theory, should follow the same technology path.

If you are interested in my Atomic Model, take a look at my latest book "Reverse Engineering The Universe" and you will see how simple I think atoms really are.

This has always interested me, sadly this is something that is not currently possible.

There seems to be 3 main concepts, BUT they are all currently not an option.

1) Vaporize somebody into particles and stream these particles through space, these would be like a stream of smoke that would be guided to the target area, then rebuild. I guess this would not be able to pass through solid walls or doors, so you could not teleport into a closed room.

2) Some sort of space timey-wimey black hole system using space folding, when you make two points in space touch as you leap through.

3) People are scanned, broken into pieces, that data is transmitted to a receiver station that rebuilds you.

A darker question to ask about this 3rd technique is that: if we work on the assumption that your molecules are taken to bits and registered, and that the data is sent then rebuilt at the other side based on the existing data, has that person died and then be re born, and if you find a way of scanning someone without disassembling them, you have found a method of photocopying a person.

Both of these raise ethical issues and issues from everything from marriage law to can you claim your own life insurance payout.

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 alive? The piles of atoms appear to be identical.

In a smaller version, this sort of thing could be very handy for transplant surgery - wouldn't it be nice to be able to teleport in a new heart-valve, or teleport out a blood clot?

Of course, the military would want to use it to teleport explosives into enemy camps. It opens up a wide array of similar sinister things.

I avoided this answer, thankfully someone didn’t!

Now we are getting into comic book territory :-).

Watchmen:

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
