      Ooh, I don’t know! I suspect not – you’d kind of have to swap a whole load of atoms between two places almost instantly, and I don’t know how you’d have them change places quickly enough. Then again, I’ve never really spent much time thinking about it – no doubt there are people around who have, and they might be more optimistic about it than me!

      We can teleport information with ‘quantum teleportation’. I’m not sure about human bodies though. We are essentially a bundle of information, so who knows?
