Beam Me Up Scotty: Teleportation Some people think that teleportation is not possible, while other people think that it is, and they are doing it. The idea behind teleportation is that an object is equivalent to the information needed to construct it, the object can then be transported by transmitting the information in bytes, (1 byte = 1 yes or no answer) along a channel of telecommunications-communications, on the other end of the line is a receiver that reconstructs the object using the information given. Just like a fax machine except that a normal document fax takes up about 20 kilobytes (20,000 bytes) where as a human 'fax' or teleportation would take 10 Gigabytes (100,000,000,000 bytes) for just one millimeter of human (A Fun Talk On Teleportation). But with a few technical breakthroughs, you might imagine, you'd be able to teleport over to a friend's house for dinner simply by stepping into a scanner that would record all the information about the atoms making you up, With all the data collected, the machine would then vaporize your body and relay the information to your friend's teleport er, which would rebuild you using basic molecular elements. Some people don't try to think of a scientific answer to it, they just know that they can move something from point A to point B. There are many kinds of teleportation, one kind is transferring a picture of an image to a piece of film in a special camera called a tell-camera, the teleport er sticks the lens of the camera to his er fore head and thinks about the picture as hard as they can, most of the time it doesn't show up on the film but a couple of times the picture usually a picture of a building or historical marker barely shows up. Another kind of teleportation is Water Witching, which is the act of bending small metal objects such as a spoon or some keys without touching them.

A famous instance of Water Witching is a famous witch er was on a popular television show, during the show the man bent a fork and a spoon, several people called the station saying that while the show all the forks and spoons all bent up. Usually when somebody says teleportation people usually think Star Trek, but instead of stepping onto a scanner and moving your body, some people can actually lift themselves in the air by just hypnotizing themselves. In maybe a few years with a little more technology people might replace cars, buses, trains and planes with a teleport er.
