EDIT:  By the way,  they haven\'t been able to "teleport" anything with mass

During WWII, there was a big hoax that a US Battleship (name just slpped my mind) was teleported from Philladelphia to another port. I saw it on the History Channel. I\'m sure you guys can find it on historychannel.com if you want. But it was believe that the Philladelphia Experiment was a counter attack to U-boats by teleporting and cloaking a warship. It was a big hoax but very interesting. You can just search the Philladelphia Experiment. I\'ll dig something up.

They werent actually trying to teleport the ship, they were attepting to make it invisible.

In the "reports" they say that the ship did momentaryily dissapear to the naked eye and then it was teleported to another port and back.

The reports also said that some of the people on board were fused to the metal in the ship.

I saw the program on the history channel a couple times. Its very interesting. The guy that started it confessed it was a hoax.

Dug some stuff up from the Navy. I\'m working on finding more. There are sites of hoax believers but I don\'t want my IQ to drop by going there.

Well... if people could get over the ethical issues then what would be the problem... your\'re sending an exact double.. along with all your memories so you would remember everything, and you would realize that you have been teleported....

In fact if nobody told you about how teleportation worked and you got teleported you wouldnt even know the difference.

Wouldn\'t it just be your clone that wouldn\'t know the difference?

From what I read, I got the message that whatever is being teleported would be destroyed, and that there would be a clone created somewhere else.

It\'d be exactly like you but it wouldn\'t be you. You would be destroyed. No one else would know the difference because it\'s an exact clone of you, but your consciousness would be gone, replaced by a perfect replica. So technically you\'d be dead, right?

Well thats what I got from it anyways.
