"Teleporting possible?"

I was just thinking, I know this sounds quite weird but at the start of most games the characters of the games are just there and you start playing, or sometimes before you see a pointless clip which helps in no way, but how do your characters get there, and depending on what game you play, you would definetely need an explanation for how they managed to get to a strange place. This even counts on the switch of levels, the level you just complete could have been in the jungle then the next on the rooftop of new york city rooftops, I think there cold be more explaning in that area, sorry if you rad this and thought it was rubbish and a waste of time, but i just wanted to say what i think of the games, andalso here peoples responses to there thougts on what i tink about this, thanks for youre time.

I thought I also saw some thing about an atom being teleported. But I thought one of the problems was that it duplicates the object in the process. So you have the original and a copy.

Energy isn't a problem if we master anti-matter as a source...

The Aussies didn't teleport a laser beam, although that is how the media covered it. They took a laser beam, took in to piece, destroyed all the pieces and recreated them in another place.

Sci-fi often preceeds reality, and this is the generally accepted way teleporters are meant to work. This raises lots of questions about what makes you you, but there are also scientific arguments that consciousness is a result of random errors in your brain. If you were destroyed, and an exact replica reconstructed elsewhere, would that still be you?

I think the magnet thing is to do with creating artificial wormholes, but there are extremely unstable and collapse if anything enters them. Oh, and take a equivalent amount of energy as released by an exploding star.

But didn't Willy Wonka manage to teleport Mike Teevee using his WonkaVision device all those years ago, or is film & TV lying to me yet again?

I'm a single atom...

It's true - they've managed to teleport tiny objects over a very short space.

By "tiny" I mean atom sized.

Allegedly, I heard that science is working on this, and have managed to do it, though they can only teleport a single atom...

It is theoretically possible to teleport material directly from one place to another instantly using incredibly powerful magnets to warp space.

Of course, whether or not somebody could survive the process is another matter entirely.

um that wouldn't work with trasporters you see on Star trek.

On Tomb raider or a few other games you have to pull a switch or find a key to open a door that's been sealed off for a few Centurys but once you enter it two healthy well feed lions attack you.
