Given that converting a human body to pure energy would probably liberate enough energy to destroy the Earth

Not even close.

To destroy the Earth and create an asteroid belt you would need roughly a 60km sphere of antimatter with a density approaching nickel-iron.

A 200 lb man turned to antimatter would release about 3.89 Teratons of TNT in an equivalent explosion. By way of comparison it would be somewhere between the K-T impact event and the energy required to disrupt the planet's atmosphere. Still, it's orders of magnitude less than required to destroy the Earth.

Of course it just would kill most every living thing on the planet.

1.8E+17 J/g Antimatter
4.19E+12 J / kiloton

Your intellect?

That's an interesting question. If you believe in remote viewing....the Ingo Swann stuff, not the Dr. Doom (Ed Dames) stuff.....you can read where there were several experiments done where the projection of thought was intantaneous....as in "at the same time" the experiments registered the results at the same time, in the US and Europe.

Not to hijack the thread, but Ingo did many government sponsored experiments in the early 70's describing the surfaces of Saturn, Neptune, etc.....all the scientists regarded him as a pure nutter at the time. As our planetary probes did their fly-bys during the last 30 years, his descriptions have been proven to be spot on.

Just something to ponder.....

but hey, don't you have a keg on tap in your home?

Nah. With all the six-packs that are sold in supermarkets around here,
I haven't the slightest idea where I'd go to find a decent selection of kegs.
Gotta go all the way back to Pennsylvania to find a good beer distributor.

"Forever is a long, long time. Who knows what the next breakthrough might be?"


Also true. 66 years from the Wright brothers first flight to a moon landing.

Darn! Don't I feel like such a fool by making great fun of all those cool guys attending Star Trek Conventions while I stayed home and merely got laid!

This is more like "Subspace communications".

Is this really 'teleportation' or the near-instantaneous creation of a copy?

Big difference...

Well, it is kind of catchy, and of course, it is yours by right of copyright.

After doing some googling, it appears that quantum transporation is not necessarily superluminal, because it must use a "classical information channel."

But all this stuff is beyond my feeble understanding of physics.

Thus you would be only 25% fly with the new setup.

I guess that should read quantum transportation of information is not necessarily superluminal.

When Lex Luthor aimed a Duplicator Ray at Superman, without his knowledge, the result was Bizarro.

I understand that the same kind of thing happened to Al Gore.

7 of 9... isn't there a corroloary to the Kornikova rule?

I believe the "Kornikova rule" is actually a corrolary to the "Anne Coulter Rule". Nonetheless, the principle is applicable across all posts referring to Anna K., Anne C., 7 of 9, and Laurie Dhue.
