FTL could eventually be feasible in a couple different ways, and much MORE feasible than teleportation. Teleportation is impossible, given the energy requirement to perform it.

    Well when I think teleportation, I was thinking that you could make a machine that can deconstruct/construct things absolutely identically down to the atomic level. So whatever enters on one end is what leaves the other. At the precise moment it activates. The issue with it is it would kill anything organic and just clone it. And there's the question of if you would even be the same person. I doubt your memories and personality would reconstruct on the other end. Kind of like a super 3D printer.

  • That isn't teleportation, at all.

  • Yes, and that's the kind of teleportation I was referring to. It would take the energy of several thousand solar masses to accomplish that, and not to mention the massive data storage to track each atom, its place, and where to put it again on the other side. Its just not feasible.

    Honestly, none of it seems feasible lol. But maybe one day we can figure it out.

  • At one point I believe they could all be feasible. But we'd extremely advanced by then lol.
