BTW, matter transmission as done on StarTrek can NEVER
happen and just because of the Heisenberg (sp) effect.
Einstein's equation works both ways, E=MC^2 means that to
create matter with a weight equal to a person would require
the energy of several thousand atomic bombs, under full
control and without destruction of the mechanism.

The only reason it works on Star Trek is because of the discovery of
controlled matter-antimatter reactions. In the early days it was
difficult and dangerous, but dilithium crystals found on other planets
made control of the reaction much easier. The transporter was
impossible without the crystals,

The transporter on Star Trek works because they were scheduled to start
shooting and the shuttle craft / set wasn't done so they had to come up with
something quick to get up and down to a planet.

Please cease your rational, pragmatic, logical and truthful comments
in this thread. They just don't make sense.
