Beam me up... carefully! Part one in a deep dive on Star Trek's transporters. They are iconic, but how do they really stack up against science? In this inaugural episode of Cinema Science, we dive deep into the (many!) problems with instant teleportation. From atmospheric attenuation making long-distance beaming nearly impossible, to the sheer complexity of digitizing and reassembling a human body (complete with its microbiome!), we explore the mind-boggling hurdles science would have to overcome. We'll even touch on the explosive energy involved – think Hiroshima, but you are the bomb! Is it science fantasy or just fantasy? Join us as we explore the physics of transporters and why they'll likely remain a staple of science fiction. Like and subscribe for more Cinema Science! What other sci-fi tech should we explore? Please let us know in the comments!
