TeleportationCurrent technologies are "as good as it gets" - fact or fictionTeleportationDEFINITIONTeleportation - "A hypothetical mode of instantaneous transportation; matter is dematerialized in one place and recreated in another" http://dictionary. thefreedictionary.com/bulk+transportDEVELOPMENT OF TELEPORTATIONIn the golden age of the 20th century, science fiction writers thought of the concept of teleportation to assist the plots of their stories Teleportation appeared in many science fiction books (Rouge Moon),. movies (Jumper) and television shows (The Twilight Zone). A very popular television show, Star Trek, made the concept of teleportation very well recognized. The reason why Star Trek started the concept of teleportation was to due to a piece of technology in the show known as the "transporter" device. The "transporter" device is used to teleport people and materials at the speed of light to different starships, planets, or wherever they need to be sent. It works by placing the object on the conveyor platform, the object is separated into all its separate atoms and scanned into a computer where they are shot through another beam and reassembled at the destination. Workers and scientists are still working today to make teleportation a reality; there have been successful experiments where scientists have teleported material from one place to another. In 1998 an experiment was performed by physicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), assisted by two European groups. The experiment was successful because it teleported a photon, a particle of energy that carries light. Since then, more experiments and much more research have been conducted on teleportation. One of...... half of the card...... shipped overseas. This would avoid a lot of disasters with oil leaks during shipping and things like that. Scientists and researchers will continue to research ways to make teleportation possible and find practical uses for teleportation. Teleportation may be the only way to see some parts of the universe that would take millennia to reach by space shuttle. CONCLUSION Teleportation is practically against the law if humans used it, as it would be an act of murder and creation. It wouldn't be worth investing all the money into teleportation, because there are many more cons than pros with this concept. The human race would be much safer without it. People would rather take twenty-four hours of their lives to fly abroad, rather than make a replica of themselves and risk their lives just to get to their destination faster.BIBLIOGRAPHY
