London, July 31 (ANI): Teleportation like the one shown in the classic Sci-Fi series 'Star Trek' is going to take 350,000 times longer than the universe has existed, according to researchers.
The findings have come from a team of physics students, who had looked at how practical teleportation is going to be if the technology was in existence.
David Starkey, a member of the University of Leicester team, said that the team decided to look at the practicalities of teleportation as a means of everyday travel, the Daily Express reported.
He said that the team employed several approximations to determine the amount of info that will be required in bits to fully store a human genetic code and neural information, and the signal to noise ratio of typical signalling equipment.
Starkey said that the team's results indicated that the time scales to complete a full teleport of an individual are a little too lengthy at this time and current means of travel remained more feasible.
The group of physics experts found that the energy that is required to teleport into orbit is dependent on bandwidth and the quicker someone is beamed into space the more power is consumed.
Assuming a bandwidth of 29.5 to 30 gigahertz, beaming a person into an orbiting spacecraft is going to take longer than all the years passed since the Big Bang.
The findings have been published in the University of Leicester's Journal of Physics Special Topics. (ANI)
