I heard in the recent few years that somebody was working on transporting, but so far had only been able to move very small particles.
   A few years back I think I remember seeing on the Today show somebody wrote a book on Treknology--technology that was seen on Star Trek &/or inspired by the ideas on Trek. That was before the flip style cellphone was everywhere. It has long been known that Science Fiction is Future Science fact. If one can concieve it, one can bring it from the thought into the physical.
    If one is inclined to believe, there are Medicine Men/Women aka Shamen & the equivilant all around the globe who have been practicing tele-transportation for thousands of years. Of course the question is, how do they do this? Around the turn of the 1900's there was a great interest in "science" and these such things were explained in "scientific" ways such as physics, thus: metaphysics. Physicists have said for decades that time & space fluctuate & therefore must be somehow alterable by some means. There was great interest at that time in the practices of hindu yogis.
   If we only use 8-10% of our brain, perhaps the rest of the brain was once used for the science of metaphysics?
    Things that make you go...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
