I originally came here to be a pest (Sorry guys!) I was a little mad about what was going on here. So I chose a classic villian. On most other message boards I'm known as jschmitty Needless to say my opinions have changed.

I suggest you visit this site. It has all you want to know on transporters. I don't know that it proves what we are talking about, but it seems to suggest that you retain your original matter.

Ack, you're body s destroyed and replicated at the destination? What about the energy/pattern stream?

e=mc2 (hmm, superscript seems to be beyond my abilities)

I think the data/energy stream is your body mass. The question is, is the energy your body?

Well, I would only have 2 fears before the "initial" transport.

 

1. Does it scan my body, destroy it, then create a copy somewhere else?

OR

2. If my body is "taken apart" on the moleculer level, sent somewhere via energy beamed, and then put together - would my soul go along for the ride?

CJLP - that sounds as if you think your soul is contained in your molecules. I don't know about you, but I also believe in the human soul, and I don't think it's contained in our molecules.

 

That aside, I'm with VBG - I don't want to transport in the early days, but later on, YES! I love to drive, but I'd rather just beam there!

Well, I know the soul isn't contained in one's molecules. That's why I was asking if it would just "ride the beam" over to the destination or be zapped to your body when it's put back together.

In the 70's era TOS novel Spock Must Die! McCoy and Spock have a debate about the subject of Soul transportation.It was very interesting,and a little frightening.Since the original body is,by Spock's admission,destroyed and a new copy made...what happens to the soul?If raised in the 24th century I would probably accept transportation as readily as i accept traveling in an airplane,and wouldn't be bothered by it.

I thought I read in another novel that the destruction of the body didn't occur. Of course we are getting into the relm on non-canon here, but I remember reading about Picard encountering a population that had the same fears as CJLP. And Picard put those fears to rest. Might have been a Voyager episode too now that i think about it.

I loved it!

This is definately a must see people.

WAY TO GO, KAHN!!!! (Maybe you could treat yourself to some pudding !?!?!?!) B)   

yeah, maybe. You should see a similar thread that I was in on trekbbs.

Ah shucks, 'twas nothing. Thanks guys. :angry:

Short hair, my roomate is really into wwe and is attempting, though he won't admit it, to look like a wrestler with long hair. Personally, it looks terrible.

Congrats everyone.

Time, Newsweek, US & World Report, whatever is lying around. . .

Ok I can't open the file and downloaded everything you had. Could you kind of take me through it step by step?

Funny, I could have sworn they were forced to take all the episodes down. Did something change?

Ok, so France spied on us (playing the devils advocate, we spied on the nine swing-vote nations, but that's not the point) France aided a brutal regime, what should be their punishment?

Unlike Trek, the Star Wars books have taken a whole new story line that I really don't agree with. Though it's not canon, it really has destroyed some of my liking of Star Wars, maybe that's why I fear for the outcome of this next movie.

Second Period has just ended. There was a TV on in the office as I passed, and I just saw the 2nd Plane hit. Right then my mind went back to the night of 9/10/01 Before I went to bed I said to my mom, "Well, tomorrow's just another ordinary day." Then as I went to bed I thought that there hadn't been a disaster like TWA 800 for a while. No joking. The rest of my day was spent watching the news in all my classes and seeing the Pentagon hit, people jumping, and the towers falling. The worst part was that I was watching ABC who reported that the State Department and Capital had been hit and that there was a plane on a direct course for Air Force One.

When I got home my dad was on the phone. He has a cousin who worked in Tower 1, his wife worked in Tower 2. Somehow he went down the stairs of Tower 1, fought against the swell of people coming out of Tower 2 after it had been hit, and found his wife standing on a table. They both got out alive.

It was bad enough with R2D2 and Threepio, now he just throws in Chewie. Anyway, time to practice up on your wookie noises.

EDIT: I goofed on the title but can't edit that. Can somebody else do it for me or is it just a quirk of the board?

I've been to Maine many times. My family is based there. Have you ever gone to Fort Popham to swim? I love that sand bar connection to the island. Great waves usually too.

They say it might have been profesionals waiting for the opportunity to steal priceless treasures, not ordinary looting.

Left wingers have good arguments, they just can't organize them or present them without appearing hypocritical.

3. A series about colonizing the Dyson Sphere from TNG "Relics"

I actually like how they finished the dyson sphere arc in the books. It seemed to end it very well.

^ Geez, I can hardly read that. Well, I'd say the dancing in the streets kinda proves our point. Powell is going to Syria, there won't be a war there (it seems some anti-war people are more eager for a Syrian war than pro-war people are) I think this is just tough love to get the middle east to shape up.

I just finished the last TNG book and just got started on TOS. This is kindof bittersweet for me, I'm going to have to switch gears all over again.

Have you ever seen the movie unbreakable? Maybe that runs in your family or something. I am also a lifeguard and luckily I haven't had to make any huge rescues. However I have heard stories of people drowning including one of my dad's close friends a few years ago. It really makes me sad because I know that if I was there with them, I probably could have saved them.

3 is a little to early to learn to swim IMO, I think you probably just wern't ready. But you could walk across the bottom of the pool? That's really surprising to me.
