[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] I've been watching Star Trek all my life, and even as a six-year-old I never thought the person stepping into the transporter was disintegrated and copied at the destination. I've been studying physics since age seven, and I always, [i]always[/i] knew most of the tech in Trek was based on principles that were theoretical or wildly conjectural for where we were at the time. I had no problem saying "in the future, they have learned how to do this, and any attempt by me to figure out methods using contemporary technology is foolish and against the spirit of the show". Person steps into transporter at point A and gets zapped straight to point B without passing 'Go' -- got it, that's what it does, don't know how, doesn't matter, let's move on and enjoy the story. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
