WOO HOO! I knew we'd find a way to teleport stuff! Yes, only a few billion atoms over half a metre, but that's wuite a step up from one atom a fraction of a millimeter, innit?

Wow.

The Star-Trek way of teleporting is rather unrealistic, isn't it? I mean, even if we had that advanced a teleportation method, wouldn't you need to bring the entire body together at the very same instant, lest you kill it? And probably in a vacuum?

The star trek way of teleporting keeps the object in a stasis field while it's being reassembled. The containment beam 'pushes' all other matter out of the beam-in point. That's the pseudo-science that answers both of those questions.

Oh, ingenius. At least the show got tech-credibility.

They didn't quite say they teleported the atoms. It was implied, but all they actually said was they transmitted information using light. So not even teleportation was actually stated.

Grain of salt time.
