’Beam me up Scotty’ : Indian technocrats move one step forward towards implementing teleportation of matter Staff Reporter January 07, 2005
Indian scientists and technocrats are working on quantum and linear transportation for along time in various parts of the country. According to sources a team of engineers and physicists have made a leap forward towards achieving real world teleportation.
The technology exists in the science fiction books and was highlighted by the Startrek series to transport astronauts from planets to space chip and vice versa.
The technology has a lot of implications. Teleportation can instantaneously transport matter and human beings from physical place to another.
Some scientists in the world have developed methods for computational quantum teleportation. What that means is to transfer data on quantum characteristic of matter and then recreating the atoms and molecules on the other end. This kind of technology cannot be used in teleporting humans because the original has to be destroyed and recreating billions of atom and molecules of human bodies is a very complex task.
But based on information obtained, the group of engineers and scientists in India used laser beams to disintegrate matter at one place, analyze the matter through complex computational algorithms, transport the quantum characteristics to the other side and finally recreate the object on the other side based computational models of quantum characteristics.
According to some experts when teleporting is established in coming years, these methods will be characterized as primitive methods but every one has to start somewhere.
The biggest challenge, says Dr. Satish Mishra, was to create the computational algorithm generator that can model the quantum physics of a matter. The algorithm itself is super complex. Now imagine the algorithm that generates the complex algorithm – how complex can that be!
Where it will always remain ...
How long will it take before some Islamic and liberal whack jobs claim that Indian teleportation experiments caused the quake and tsunami?
Quantum tunneling?
Most technologies to begin with were only in the fiction books, sooner or later some will come out from there into reality.
Where it will always remain ...
These are the same news sources that tell us that India is in touch with UFO's.
It's merely a matter of time before someone in Southern California catches onto this as a new form of Yoga, makes an infomercial and hauls in $quillion$ of dollar$ as a result.
You mark my words: time will prove me correct.
U never know what technology they have given us.
No wonder we are not depending so much on the US.
If I get the technology I will try to teleport the " $quillion$ of dollar$ " to my account.
True, but they had some basis in the real world. When man's flight was theorized, man could see birds and insects fly. The power of electricity could be seen long before it could be put to use. The computer was just a logical extension of the human brain--arranging, storing and manipulating data.
But teleportation does not enjoy a real world basis comparable to any of these technologies. It does not exist in nature nor does anything similar offer the hope of being stretched into what is and will forever remain fantasy.
"Does this mean that there will be Teleport Machines in every 7-11 in 20 years or that those telemarketers will magikally appear in our dining rooms whilst we eat our dinners?"
---Why take all that trouble. I will just aim that thing on the Banks. I will go for the Swiss Bank to begin with.
That's not teleportation. They aren't transfering an object. They are destroying it and making a replica elsewhere.
So now technology is entering into the domain where there is no real world equivalent. So what?
Where something does not enjoy a real world equivalent, imagination can form the basis.
Hoooooo boy.
We got us a live one, here.
Does the matter lose anything in the process?
Sounds more like a fax machine to me....an expensive one.
I LOVE your tag line...

Imagination is a wonderful and incredibly powerful thing. So is fantasy. They are often confused. One leads to invention; the other to failure.
Both leads to attempt, nonetheless. Thats whats important.
According to one report, the bulk of the evidence consisted of a drunken Indian Army officer trying to pick the reporter chick up in a bar.
I'd lie about UFO's too, for a bit of tail.
"....Indian Army officer trying to pick the reporter chick up in a bar"
---Where did u get that?
I don't particularly feel like looking it up. It's on Free Republic somewhere.
I just knew someone would think of that.
hehe...I've done that stone sober.
"Where something does not enjoy a real world equivalent, imagination can form the basis."
"Imagination", corrupted by the Fall? No thanks.
File this one under: WITCHCRAFT / OCCULT.
I wonder if they will soon be outsourcing to the U.S.
U mean .... the reporter wrote something like "The Indian Army officer was trying to pick (me) up in a bar."
so they're transporting chips?? Who wrote this article.
This story is ridiculous! For one to "recreate matter" from energy, one would need to roughly follow E=mc2. Thus to make a 100kg human from photons, one would need 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. (9x1018). Or...approximately 10,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of energy.

I like that but couldn't you transfer your animosity to Bennie Hinn?
And now everybody is thinking about that.
I dont think they have actually teleported a "100kg human " as yet. At least thats not as yet reported in the article.
Yep, as described, it's replication. But the idea that someone in India or Switzerland has used photons to create matter seems pretty far-fetched to me. I think the whole thing is urban myth.
"... telemarketers will magically appear in our dining rooms whilst we eat our dinners?"
Uh, oh! The success of teleportation may mean an increase in the MURDER rate!! =)
You had to read between the lines a little. But anyone who is at all savvy could she that's what she was writing, without actually writing that line outright.
one would need 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. (9x1018). Or...approximately 10,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of energyPerhaps this is where the 'flux capacitor' is used (temp energy repository/storage).
"The idea that someone in India .........seems pretty far-fetched to me......."
U mean the idea seems far-fetched because its scientifically far-fetched or pretty far-fetched for Indians to do something like that?
"This story is ridiculous! For one to "recreate matter" from energy, one would need to roughly follow E=mc2. Thus to make a 100kg human from photons, one would need 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. (9x1018). Or...approximately 10,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of energy."
It's amazing how many people cannot comprehend the energy cost of doing some of these neat sci-fi gadgets. Again, most simply do not understand TANSTAAFL.
