I'm pretty sure that it's not the laws of physics that make teleportation impossible.  Converting matter to energy and back again is entirely possible theoretically.  It's just that engineering such a device would be almost impossible.  Or you could use a wormhole, which is again just a matter of figuring out how you'd build the damn thing.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.106|108.162.216.106]] 01:05, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

No mention in the explanation that having pooh-poohed the idea of quantum teleportation being anything like the archetypal fictional representation of matter-transporters, the guy then "goes to the Bahamas" via a box that has been flipped to "regular teleportation"... 178.107.249.215 22:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
