Since nothing is impossible why can't they invent a device to beam me up Scotty physical objects?

    Before you go to where you were supposed to be you would be fried to a crisp. Our technology is not advanced enough to safely beam you up.  I'm not sure if it ever will be.  By that time there will be another way to get from one place to another safely. Possibly with your mind power.  Just a guess.  This post was edited by Honey Dew at May 22, 2023 8:30 PM MDT

    I'm all sure it would never happen. Although a fully representative holographic design projection might be possible. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at May 21, 2023 9:53 PM MDT

    I assume they would be members of Mensa who are proficient in physics and aero space engineering.

    You're not getting me into that thing. I've seen too many Twilight Zone and Simpsons episodes! This post was edited by NYAD at May 23, 2023 11:07 AM MDT

    My guess is that the oil companies do ever thing in their power to make sure that teleportation technology never materializes. They would lose a lot of money if cargo and people could just be beamed around the world. Cheers!
