    It’s not all that different to a fax machine, the way it’s described in st.

    You just need to be able to accurately scan and place atoms to achieve the ‘teleportation’ being discussed here.

          For sure. I wish they would’ve given that to us instead of the molecule in that movie about the whale. (Sorry I’m not well versed on star trek
