Book Description
Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to be teleported just like in Star Trek? Amazingly, not only is it possible, but scientists at this very moment are doing such experiments! Ever since the TV series Star Trek introduced the idea of teleportation from one place to another via a matter transporter, many of us have been fascinated with the prospect that one day this may become reality. It's true to say that Star Trek wasn't the first time the concept of a transporter was used in a sci-fi series, film or book, but it is without doubt the catalyst which sparked the public imagination for this type of travel in real life. This book looks at the scientific processes and progress that has taken place which will take the Star Trek transporter from sci-fi into reality. Staggeringly enough scientists have now started teleporting particles exactly in the same way the Enterprise transporter does, opening up the possibilities for human teleportation within a comparatively short number of years. This book takes you through the history of the discoveries which have led scientists to build that teleportation device, and explains in layman's terms exactly how it works. It delves into some of the most complex theoretical principles of science but in a way easily understood by anyone who has even a basic knowledge of science. This book also looks at the most controversial and serious aspect of teleportation, and why it may stop anyone wanting to travel in such a way. By the time you have finished reading this book, you may well decide that the monetary costs are cheap in comparison to the human cost. Customer reviews; "Full of loads of facts about Star Trek's Transporter technology and compares it's fictional operation with real emerging scientific technology. The writer allows herself to go off topic to mention interesting side notes which kept me engaged as I have the attention span of an 8 year old and love these geeky snippets. The fact that it jumps from point to point without dwelling, and the simple language it uses to explain complex points makes it a satisfyingly easy read." T Swill. "Just one word to describe this book, AMAZING! As a dedicated sci-fi fan, I am always interested when someone does a TV documentary's or book's which shows how science fiction is being turned into science fact. At first I thought this book might be a little over my head but I must say the author has done a fantastic job. Well written, hugely informative and totally written in a way that even I understood all the science stuff. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone who has an interest in either science or sci-fi. IT'S A MUST READ.If her next book is a good as this one, I am definitely reading that too!" C Jones "I found this book explained the underlying principles linking teleportation fiction to fact in simple and direct terms, though, some of the more complex theories were undoubtedly for a scientific mind. Nonetheless, I found it extremely enjoyable and an intriguing insight into ongoing research in the field of Physics. I understand there may be controversy about the concept of quantum teleportation and its link to "Star Treks Matter Transportation," but I felt this was addressed clearly, if you actually read the book. Two thumbs up, and I would be interested to read more in this series. H.M
