So teleportation. It comes up half the sci-fi movies and you get the comedy sketches where something goes wrong. eg. simpsons, bart mixes with the fly. So on the hypothetical situation that teleportation was real and you couldn't enter a machine with another life form. Wouldn't you have to teleport naked?As most clothes contain natural fibres. Which, similar to another life form, would be capable of fusing to you in reformation at the other end.
But despite the natural fibres being fuseable to you, theres already a chemical reaction fusing them to man made fibres which would in no way be compatible with the human body. Plus theres no way of predicting the area in which it'd re fuse. It'd make sense that it would fuse to skin as it'd re construct in a close to reverse order in which you were taken apart to transport. But it could just as easily fuse to an internal muscle, such as your heart inhibiting it's movement causing a heart attack. Or it could simple fuse to your skin, but the un natural material thats fused alongside the natural material knitted into your muscle make up would then be treated as an "alien presence" you body would try to attack it or reject around it similar to a badly matched skin graft causing a break down of skin tissue.

Long answer short: Hypothetical is hypothetical. Therefore any such answer is non-existent, irrelevant, and pointless because we haven't the slightest idea how this kind of science-bullshi- fiction is supposed to work, and therefore asking why something makes no sense doesn't make more sense is just....not sensible.
There's mostly two ideas for teleportation. The first involves breaking you down to sub-atomic particles and rebuilding you somewhere else. This is obviously horsecrap, not even on the level of a hypothesis. The other idea is big-as-hell wormhole, which is hypothetical and would not result in fly-man.

I've half a mind to make an Orthrus Appreciation Thread, for our resident genius on all things concerning... well, all things fullstop.
Anyway, I think time travel is a more interesting thing, albeit equally impossible for us. I'd take the utmost pleasure in sabotaging the sequence of events, for example hiding important documents, influencing people, all that helpless and entirely unnecessary stuff.

We already had one of those. Made me cry, especially when Ada was cruel enough to pin it up for all to see. Anyway, I agree with you on the time-travel thing. But actually, it is possible. You just have to absorb the entire universe into yourself to do it. Including yourself. Cool, no?

I'll get to it ;P I think it'd be amazing, if somehow we could travel well faster than the speed of light and get to a point in the universe where we could freely observe the events of earth in their entirety as the light reached us. Well, you know what I mean.

All I've got to say is that taking the kids to and from the places they need to be would be much more convenient. I'd be savin' my ass tons of money.
I approve of this science*cough*bullshit.

Having my children torn apart at the molecular level, then sending them across the grid to be... pieced back together in a beaming colorful light show... may not be the best idea, as they could re-materialize as an oozing puddle does not sound great to me.
I KNOW! Let's test it out on people such as Tommy the Invalid and Robo-Cop-out. Such... retardation's would be excellent specimens for subjection to testing. Not our children. I mean HELL! Even my cat Chewy would be great for this sort of testing. As it is he's only my little black bastard. Damn punk ass cat... eat my butter will ya! *zap* Heh heh heh heh heh....
As for the IDEA of teleportaion. It would be great fro travel and grocery shopping. And of course dead body disposals. ;D
