In part reads:

"Since I came to AlphaWorld, the number one question I have heard from
almost everyone was "how do you teleport?" Finally we are at the point where
we are about to get that feature! However, there will be limits. The
intention as I understand it is to have web-page-based teleport where you
can teleport directly to any spot in AlphaWorld, so you can make lists of
"hot link lists" on web pages, but that will be the only way to go exactly
where you want to go. One important concept is is that we don't want to
spoil the simulation of reality achieved in AlphaWorld so far...and if
everyone is flitting all over the place all the time that goes down the
drain (it's bad enough sometimes with the current WARP feature.) "
----------------------------
Question. Does "flitting all over the place all the time" spoil the
simulation fo reality achieved in Alpha World?

Aug 8, 2002, 12:57am

Well, I'm certainly not going to walk for 3 hours to get to where I want to
go!

As large as AlphaWorld is, do you honestly expect people to walk for 3+ hours on end just to find their place?

Hey guys... Look at the date of the article... :o) I'd say is a bit of
AW history... :o)

Aug 8, 2002, 8:58am

its called technology advance (matter transporter)
if u look at it this way its not unrealistic at all,

welcome to the 24th century :P

I could be wrong but ....Don't we ALREADY have teleport capabilities???? Are
you referring to that neat feature near the top of the screen that says
"teleport" where you can either type in coordinates or "remember" places to
go????? ;-")

Ok, it's nice that you watch star trek a lot, but it's getting really old.

Actually, scientists have managed to learn how to transport photons and
although transporting matter made up of trillions of pieces is far in the
future, it has become a more realistic idea.

I know, but it's far from the star trek idea of how it'd work. All you have
to do is resequence the photons in a different order for movement, then
resequence them as the arive in the new position. I think they can only
move them like 5 inches before the stream fades.

Well...I have heard they are moving fruits:)

Aug 8, 2002, 5:56pm

Yeah they tested it with an apple.. needless to say the whole apple didn't
go with them. And if they moved it too far only half the apple came with
them.

That sounds both optimistic and pessimistic....LOL:)

Aug 8, 2002, 9:57pm

LMAO. If they tried, they failed but I'm sure most scientists would never
attempt such an idiotic thing. What they have accomplished so far is not
even close to transporting matter of any sort, let alone anything nearly as
complex as a piece of fruit.

I'm sorry to say that you heard wrong.

Are you going to make me search for a url or sumpin?:)

Aug 8, 2002, 11:35pm

You can if you like but if it does exist, those were some stupid scientists.
:-P I can guarantee it didn't work if it did anything at all, LOL :-D

Wow...you just got me to thinking......
Imagine what they could do in medicine if this were possible!
Cancer cells could be identified...located...then transported out of the
infected body!

Now Dion....please don't tell me you would have laughed at Columbus when he
said the world wasn't flat:)

Anything is possible...eventually.

You'd have to hold the person completely still. The only place this would
be possible is probably in space so gravity doesn't affect it (you're in
free fall in space).

Nuclear physics was developed by aristotle(or one of those greek/roman
dudes) I believe, he feared releasing his discoveries because of the way it
may have confliced with his riligion.

What about vacumn tube thingys?

Human life cannot survive in a complete vaccuum, not even a partial one.

It's a common misconception that during the time of Columbus, most people
though the world was flat. Actually, during that time, it was a well-known
idea that the world wasn't flat even to the point that it was taught in
schools.

I do believe it is possible, just not with our current knowledge. It may be
possible in the future. Infact, with the rate we're going with Science, I
wouldn't be surprised if we were taking teleportation for granted in 100
years.

Doubtfully, it's not on the top of the physicist's list of things to do.
FTL tech is higher up.

so?? most of the science used there is based on real science

as it already has been said matter transport is not impossible
anti-matter has been produced already in small quantities as well,
warp drives and those wepons technologies used in ST are based on real
science as well..
so u cant say any of this isnt possible

Tell me which science the cloak is based off of. Or maybe the subspace
beacons. :P

Well, the warp drive is based off a matter anti-matter reaction right?
Firstly, we can't produce enough anti-matter to propel a space ship. Second
we can't get anywhere near the speed of light. Third, we can't enter
subspace to avoid hitting dust particles that would rip the ship to shreds.
