I have some thoughts on teleportation, because they are researching and testing means of teleportation on some islands somewhere right now- I forget where. They have been successful in teleporting a few atoms from on island to another.
I was thinking about what advanced systems of transportation would make the world like. Telepoting would replace airplanes, so instead of airports there would be teleporter stations. That would drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels. Instead of different airlines, there would be transfer companies who you would pay to get somewhere.
Eventually, technology would enable home teleport stations that you would buy at a department store and have installed into your home by a professional. You'd be able to teleport to places all the way across the globe in less than a second, thus saving time.
Teenagers would be able to teleport to a long distance friend who also had a teleporter.
Each teleport station would have a unique code that would be put in by a user who wished to be teleported to that particular station. It would be kind of like giving somebody your phone number, except you would be giving them a code that made them able to come visit whenever they liked.
Much like phone companies, you would pay a company to transfer the information from one station to another and keep them maintained.
Of course, they would be a couple complications of this technology.
First; there would not be any sort of portable transportation devises. The transporter must be capable of of exactly copying your DNA, and that would be much too complex to put into a small enough device to carry around like a cell phone.
Second; you would be unable to teleport anywhere that does not have a receiving teleporter to copy your DNA. Also, even if it were possible, the risk would be too high- you might get rebuilt halfway through the wall.
And third, which isn't really a complication but more just how it works; in reality, it isn't true teleportation. It is actually in fact making an exact copy of you and rebuilding your body in a new location. Technically when you arrived in a new place, your body would be entirely new also, with new cells and everything. The old you would be forever gone.But it's still you, so don't worry- just not the old you. You would think and act the exact same- same body- same mind- new cells.

So, I didn't know what category this would fit in- so I kind of guessed. Also- this could have been just a journal entry, but I wanted my ideas to stay my own, so I decided to make into a deviation.
My ideas are based off of real science, and the whole first paragraph is FACT.
Quantum mechanics.
Yeah.

This sounds interesting in every way and definitely a valid concept for transportation. However, there seems to be a few complications with this theory.
1) We would have to worry about the molecular structure of the body. Either something would be missing or in the wrong place.
2) Cells can only recreate themselves for so long. If cells regenerate themselves too many times, the results can be catastrophic. Sure the regeneration of brain and skin cells are easy, but an entire body? It can only do that so many times
3) Everything is made of matter correct? The law of matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. How do you expect a new body to regenerate while this law remains vaild?
I hope you don't think I'm criticizing you. I'm just trying to remain objective here. It sounds like a good idea, but there are some flaws with this. Perhaps if we were able to teleport the cells with the body it would work, but to recreate it would be risky.
