I’m reminded of a webcomic I came across a while back but lost track of it.
In it the main character ends up as part of a troubleshooting team that goes from planet to planet fighting and stuff.
On their first mission they’re ready to take the teleporter down to the planet when this one guy jumps in to go first.
The machine scans him, announces that the teleportation is done and then tells the confused man still standing there that all that’s left is to clean up the duplicate (the original), which it does to horrible effect.
The rest of the team takes the shuttle down.
There they are met by the guy who has no clue that he’s not the original. He wanted to know why they wasted their time on the shuttle. They haven’t the heart to tell him.
Why is NASA keeping this drawing on their official website?
“This hypothetical spacecraft with a “negative energy” induction ring was inspired by recent theories describing how space could be warped with negative energy to produce hyperfast transport to reach distant star systems. In the 1990s, NASA Glenn lead the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project, NASA’s primary effort to produce near-term, credible, and measurable progress toward the technology breakthroughs needed to revolutionize space travel and enable interstellar voyages.” https://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/multimedia/artgallery/art_feature_001_CD1998_76634.html
The Teleporter breaks matter down to energy and transmits to another location where it is reassembled int matter.
Wormholes are a natural phenomena where portals would create an Einstein-Rosen Bridge folding space bringing two points separated by huge distances close together.
You have no damned clue what you’re talking about as usual.
