| Mar 15, 2018 at 18:46 | comment | added | Len | @MattiasConstantin, That's not the way Quantum Teleportation works (believe me, it broke my heart when I found out). QT only sends information about entangled particles between one another and its not moving faster than light anyway. The whole thing is more mathematical than real. But it sounds like in your fictional universe you have teleportation. So just teleport the ship. | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | AlexP | In terms of classical mechanics, the state of a particle is defined by its position and momentum. In quantum mechanics there is a rather bleak law called the uncertainty principle which says that it is not possible to know precisely both the position and the momentum of a particle; which means that if the magical computer can determine the positions of the atoms precisely enough to place them in molecules then their momentums are very fuzzily determined. As far as we know it is physically impossible to make the model. | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 16:25 | comment | added | Giga | I'm having a hard time figuring out what actual movement would be happening here...Is the ship reforming front-to-back at it's destination? Or does the ship stretch out between start and end as the Front of the ship is perpetually placed before the old front of the ship with the rest following? | |
| Mar 15, 2018 at 16:22 | comment | added | Raditz_35 | The idea of creating a map of every atom on the ship already implies a model with several approximations (e.g. born oppenheimer, atoms in molecules ...) So no this doesn't really make sense. You can't teleport a model | |
