The airplane is a physical object while a transporter is a disassembly - reassembly device. I would hate to appear at my destination with parts missing, or experience a power loss at a critical point, causing me to remain in a disassembled state, especially if my destination is not another...

I get it. But since it's a wave, where does it get the energy to stay in the wave state? Photons have characteristics of a particle and a wave. I'm just trying to understand gravity I guess. Is there gravity at the atomic level or just energy states?

I plan to keep on doing what I'm doing. Retirement doesn't interest me, just interesting science. And being a book editor.

I'd say no. The human mind: thoughts, emotions and the rest, is still too poorly understood. Besides, one glitch and I'm gone... unless they have a backup file.

OK. Electrons. Where do they get the energy to stay in orbit around the nucleus?
