» Wed Jul 28, 2010 10:03 am I know absolutely nothing about physics, but isn't it possible that in teleportation attempts atoms are de-assembled and re-assembled?
Edit: I accidently my post

To do so would both be extremely dangerous and it would take too much energy. You'd have to separate every single atom in your body and send it dozens or even hundreds of miles, potentially through other objects. Even individual atoms have trouble getting through solid walls of atoms, I for one wouldn't risk it. Besides, then you have to reassemble once you got there, all of which would have to be contained within a single thought or incantation? That's more atoms than I even know the word for, I'd have to go scientific notation on it
Telikeniis.... a BUTTLOAD of brainwaves.
Brainwaves can't leave your brain... They're just the electrical impulses caused by firing synapses within your head, they can't influence anything physical. They have been used to manipulate computers and video games, our brains can control anything that follows an electronic code, but not physical objects. If you could manipulate gravity within a confined space, I suppose that might do it :shrug:
Teliportation... Wormholes
Wormholes are tunnels through spacetime that exist in four dimensions. We can't even create a diagram of what one would look like, we need to bring space down to two dimensions in order to even draw one. I would accept the atom theory over the wormhole one, even though it was made plausible by general relativity.
Science can even explain the Bible (and in my opinion, in some cases, proves it)
What? Where did the Bible come in? Geography can explain some of the things in the Bible, but I don't see where physics come in. Unless you are saying biblical miracles, in which case I wouldn't bring those up if I were you.

Basically, my rule with magic is don't overthink it. If you attempt to apply it to the real world you will inevitably encounter problems. Unless the creators specifically made it explainable by science, it will most likely never be, until we can match every effect of a mage with a device. I believe the saying goes, "Technology advanced enough appears like magic to those who don't understand it." Or something like that
Anyway, back on topic of Mannimarco...
