ka-boom!
from what i've read thus far on teleportation (ie, didn't click your particular link yet), they are focusing primarily on the ability to recreate configurations of electrons, having the effect of being an ultrafast mechanism for the transmission of data. but if that's applied to matter, that does raise some serious questions. it would be *valley accent* wayy kewl if they could pull it off, but like i mentioned above, we ain't fully dealt with the repercussions of the invention of fire yet, so this takes us to some next level potential for catastrophe.
with those star trek replicators (where they be makin cups of soup an coffee out of nowhere), i assume conservation of matter dictates that the machine at least have the raw materials on hand to work with. like mad carbon and hydrogen atoms? we'll be filling up the molecular barbecue pit with charcoal and water and get a steak (sorry veggies) out the other end? hmm.
