I am curious to know what you all think about the possibility of teleportation in the SR
world using technological (not magical) means and have a few related questions. I'm no
physicist, so please don't flame me too hard for asking this stuff.
First, is it theoretically possible according to what we know today? If so, is it
practical? I would assume this would take a lot of energy and don't know if the energy
required would be available or even worth harvesting.
I'm not talking about personal transporters or anything like that. Rather, long distance
(world-wide) transportation of goods via fixed stations equipped for teleportation.
If it's possible, could it be cost-effective as an alternative to physically transporting
certain items?
I know the idea's out there, but I just had to ask.
Thanks for your opinions.
Justin
