Transporters and teleport tech

[Shrykull]

Does anyone know thismeans, it seems to be on the "teleportation" of protons at the IBM labs back in 98, though I can already see a few mistakes. It seems to be mistaking photon with proton, and it talks about a proton's "atomic structure" even though it is a subatomic particle. And I remember reading on Mike's myth page that they only copied it's state onto another proton, not made one disappear and reappear somewhere else

Though they also talk about transporting a laser beam.

I was reading MW's page on transporters, whether it would kill the person

Some say that discontinuity of consciousness is not death because people who are resuscitated after cardiac arrests are considered to be alive. However, a cardiac arrest is merely the cessation of heart function, not brain function. When brain activity ceases, a state of "brain death" is declared.

Others say that this process is analogous to suspended animation, in which a person is frozen and then "thawed out" later. However, suspended animation is not analogous to transportation because physical integrity is not lost at any point in the process- the mind and body are merely suspended. The transportation process involves simultaneous discontinuity of the body and the mind.

When you're talking about suspended animation, do you mean hibernation? There are certain frogs who freeze (FREEZE, not hiberate) and there is no brain activity at all, yet they thaw out in the spring, though thier brain doesn't cease to exist temporarily.

I remember someone else saying that are neurons material is constantly replaced, new proteins and enzymes, and new molecules of the cell membrane, axon's and all.
