Teleportation: Scientific research

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Current scientific research into teleportation and matter creation is limited, with no major teams publicly known to be actively pursuing these concepts. The discussion highlights the interest in technologies reminiscent of those depicted in science fiction, such as Star Trek's replicators. While the idea of manipulating atoms to create objects from nothing is intriguing, it raises fundamental questions about the laws of physics, particularly regarding the conservation of mass and energy. NASA's involvement in such research remains unclear, as no specific projects were identified in the discussion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the laws of thermodynamics
  • Knowledge of atomic structure and behavior
  • Basic concepts of particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research current advancements in quantum teleportation techniques
  • Explore the principles of matter-energy conversion in physics
  • Investigate NASA's research initiatives in advanced materials and energy manipulation
  • Study the implications of the conservation of mass and energy in theoretical physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, science enthusiasts, and researchers interested in the theoretical aspects of teleportation and matter creation technologies.

Hello.

Further to :- https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=390324


Are there any scientific teams / Researchers actively trying to achieve

a) teleportation

b) creating things via atoms - without an existing item (Ie Star Trek Food producer machines)


I've googled - But find LOTS of articles about it & mainly science fiction / fantasy - But can't find actual scientific teams - RSS feeds / newsletters etc


is NASA researching this ?

This is my first reply and my first day to do this. I'm not the person who goes to all the conventions nor would I, but I do pay attention to detail to what I watch.

While watching say, Star Trek Voyager, you will hear them talk about rations and how that making anything (whether it be food, jewelry, ect.) uses your rations. Personally, I believe they have some form of 'stash' of atoms to create things from (Matter nor energy can be created or destroyed but changed from one form to another). Whether that 'stash' is energy or some type of matter (i.e. gas, solid, or liquid), I do not know. So you would need something to create an item out of 'thin air'.

Things brings a question of my own, if you make say a sword out of air, would you not have to more or less compact the atoms in the air? Wouldn't this create some type of vacuum?
