The Fly (1986) Thinking Outside the "Plot"! #4

All Sci-Fi member Gord Green's completely original interpretation of the device in The Fly is remarkable! Here's what Gord Green wrote.

The entire question of "teleportion" is troubling.

As portrayed in THE FLY and indeed even in all STAR TREK versions it requires the destruction of the subject at the original point and the re-construction and reconstitution at the destination point. In other words it makes a "copy" of the original before it destroys it before recreating it and then "transmitting" it either to another device or "place".

This is only a science fiction device like time travel to the past that is SO far beyond the laws of physics that it can really be termed impossible. Therefore any speculation regarding it is as valid as any other. The closest real science concept is quantum entanglement or what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance". QE to be effective would require more computing power than all the energy output of the Universe and therefore is also an impractical solution.

One idea that I think could really work is this....and it's the same as I could envision for FTL travel. An individual, (or freight pod.) is fitted out with a warp device that puts the subject into a "null space" that envelops the subject in a bubble that can travel to any other point in real space where it can come out virtually "teleported".

Still . . . the whole concept can either just be accepted as stated or you can blow your mind trying to come up with a way it could REALLY work!
