this device is already in production. There is a post about them in the hot deals section. There is a rebate and a coupon. I will try to find a link.
Some people are starving, some dying of cancer, some depressed. Everyone has good times and bad. No one's life is better than any one else's. Perspective corrupts reality.Who cares about instantanious transmission of particles when people all over the world are starving or homeless.

Well, there is significant proof that this is possible. The proof I speak of is the fact a photon has been transported. and it has been done reliably. Now, the interesting thing about that is that a photon has mass. so it is an object, signifying that an object has been transported. this has already happened.
now, the problem with this is that it was less than 1 atom. if we get to the point where we are beaming single atoms, then multiple atoms, then it's no great leap to billions, then quadrillions, to gugoplex'es of atoms (aka: US). But before i step through that thing, i'll try it on my cat.
Well, yeah, like everything else. A cool fifty years in development should suffice.The machines would need massive regulation. They couldn't be sold to the public in full mode for those very reasons. I suspect they'd be licensed to companies under extremely tight security restrictions, or perhaps kept to officially designated production plants.

Drop them onto some sort of storage medium as imprisonment.

to even ask " who should regulate its use" is proof enough that we as a race do not have the responcibility to have such a machine.
