you know the medieval thoughts about the stars were that they were little holes in some giant curtain that veiled the earth at night.
like daylight shining through pinholes on the blanket that god thew over the world at night. which of course rotated around the earth.
anyway, to continue consideration of translocation, i have decided that if it was possible to compress a complete blueprint of every atom in your body into a packet of information, then it is much easier to deal with.
but the snag about that is that at the destination, there would also have to be a scanner to analyse the complete blueprint of the "air" that will be traded for the body of a person a or tool or whatever.
it is only in a perfect vacuum that any packet can be instantly rematerialized.
how do we get the scanner there? can't use translocation for the first step.
and further more, how would we ever know where to go?
we cant see with sensation the current state of any place, so how would we know where to aim for?
all these things may be answered as evolution progresses but for now i must give up thinking about the bloody matter because it bugs me in a way.
