Is It Possible: Teleportation

Humans have always been lazy, which is also quite possibly the most powerful driving force behind our ingenuity.

When you look at our history as a species, ever since man first learned to pick up a tool, every single discovery following that has had the effect of sinking us ever deeper into a pit of self inflicted case of the laziness, first came our horses and primitive tools, then our cars, computers and smartphones, but would you like to know what would be considered the epitome of said bum-numbing laziness?

Yep, you guessed it

But is teleportation even a thing once we cross the boundaries of science fiction and into the real and quite nonfictional and scientific world? well, that's what I'm trying to answer today.


So to start off, there are two different schools of thought when it comes to teleportation theories. first is the one where you are accelerated to a speed close to that of light. of course this theory is utterly unachievable by our current understating of the working physics of the universe.

 This guy told me so

Then you have the Star Trek way of doing things. which is basically some sort of device that "deconstructs you" and creates an exact copy of your atomic structure at that exact point in time, and then projecting it in some other place via a laser beam or whatever is used to transfer that information in the safest way possible. since a single misplaced cell can have catastrophic results if some of the episodes of star trek, or even the movie "The Fly" is anything to go by.

 Less than desirable result.

But is science, even theoretically, capable of accomplishing such a feat? well, the short answer is no. because we don't even have the capability to create something that has enough memory to even store that vast amount of information that is a single humans atomic structure, nevertheless a medium of transfer that's complicated enough to move that mind-bogglingly vast store of information, both of which are key to creating functional teleportation technology, maybe in a thousand years we'd be able to do that. but it's extremely unlikely that we'd be technologically advanced to build such a device anytime during the next couple of decades.


Short Answer: Impossible. 


So we've established that teleportation is impossible in the near future. i hope i haven't wrecked your hopes and dreams by my silly analysis.

 

 Pictured: you when you found out you couldn't teleport your mother in-law

to the empty voids of space.

 

But why would you even want to teleport anywhere when everything seems to be teleporting to you via the mighty medium of the internet. i mean you have to go outside out of necessity increasingly less and less. government work is heading to an online only interface, education is slowly going that route as well, long range communication has long since abandoned physical means. virtual realty and holograms are slowly becoming a real prospect. and some people even shop for their groceries online. so can't we assume that for whatever reasons you'd like to teleport, said reasons would become obsolete as we become more technologically advanced?

Just something to think about.
