They're going to target all the gays and beam them into space. That's what they're going to do. We're going to have a artificial ring of desiccated gays around the planet, probably around 2104 or so. It will end bigotry for once and all, because that's what's technology is for.

Teleportation as it's portrayed in Star Trek (converting all of an objects constituent atoms into energy, transmitting them as waves and reconstituting them at their destination) is literally completely impossible and will never be developed as a technology. The process as described would require prohibitive amounts of energy for even a small object. Teleporting something the size of a human would (according to wikipedia) require the approximate energy of a hundred one megaton hydrogen bombs.

I think it's neat how the particle teleporters we have are technically FTL and since the information arrives earlier than it was sent also time travel.

You just need 2 stacked atomically perfect ring magnets with 6 perfect embedded equidistant magnets in the ring, and then make the same machine again and put it on top upside down so that the two tilted rings in the middle are oscillating in sync, and use the top ring as a platform to compress the standing wave the magnets are making with an amount of gravitational mass until the two machines are sandwiched flat and form an "impossible" magnetic lock, teleporting the mass with a groundpath and instantly returning to its null state with the mass upside down (relatively from its origin) and on the other side of the planet.

In The Prestige was Wolverine basically just cloning himself and dying each time? If so, I don't see the point of letting some perfectly good clones go to waste like that. I can think of a great number of far better uses.

You're already 100% scanned and stored on the holodeck anyway so what's stopping you from allowing instantaneous matter transfer to exist?

that's how I know you die the second you are transported the first time. there's no possible way the being that comes out the other side is really YOU if they have your copy stored on a drive and can presumably just spit out 10 more of 'you.'

I think its more implausible that you have to slide your fingers up the control panel *just right* or people die

and that they put an irishman in charge of this task

There will be teleporters way sooner than anybody thinks, but they wont be the kind of teleporter you are thinking of.

At one end you'll have a VR booth - not the sort of VR we have today, it will look more like a space suit suspended from the ceiling of a small round room.

At the other end there'll be telepresence robots, covered in flesh like in the terminator movies, but it will be silicon filled with saline rather than real flesh, and the appearance will be configurable, so you can walk around in whatever type of body you want.

Many of these porter-bots will be dickgirls.

Stephen King wrote a short story that was just the opposite of this. Teleportation was instantaneous, but to the traveler's point of view it was an eternity of sensory deprivation. To keep travelers from going insane, you have to be sedated during the trip. It is titled "The Jaunt".
