Beam Me Up Scotty: Teleportation
Some people think that teleportation is not possible, while other people

The idea behind teleportation is that an object is equivalent to the
information needed to construct it, the object can then be transported by
transmitting the information in bytes,(1 byte= 1 yes or no answer) along a
channel of telecommunications-communications, on the other end of the line is a
receiver that reconstructs the object using the information given. Just like a
fax machine except that a normal document fax takes up about 20 kilobytes
(20,000 bytes) where as a human "fax" or teleportation would take 10 Gigabytes
(100,000,000,000 bytes) for just one millimeter of human (A Fun Talk On
Teleportation). But with a few technical breakthroughs, you might imagine, you'd
be able to teleport over to a friend's house for dinner simply by stepping into
a scanner that would record all the information about the atoms......
