Teleportation similar to that seen in the Star Trek movies and television shows would take too long and consume more power than is presently available according to research published on July 30, 2013, by University of Leicester physics students James Nelms, Declan Roberts, Suzanne Thomas, and David Starkey in the University of Leicester’s Journal of Physics Special Topics.
The project was an imaginative endeavor that takes into consideration the physical limits, time constraints, and power consumption needed to transport a single person from the surface of the Earth to an orbit directly above the person’s original position on Earth.
The physical constraints are determined by the complexity of DNA. Each DNA pair for every cell would need to be represented by encrypted data. A single cell would take 10E+10 bits of data to transport. Teleporting a single human brain would take 2.6E+42 bits of data.
Oh well. It was a nice thought. To read more and view the video, click here.
