Also, I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but the whole Star Trek
Transporter thing has a big hurdle...quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle says you can't simultaneously know the position and
velocity of all the atoms in your body precisely.
That's not intrinsically a barrier.
As long as we put all of the atoms back in their spot with a "close
enough" position and with a "close enough" velocity, the natural
relaxation processes of chemistry and diffusion will put the system back
together just fine. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle holds for
*all* observers, including the other subatomic particles in the local
environment.
However, I'm with Leonard McCoy on this one. I'll take the
shuttlecraft, thanks.
