"Phasing" Through Solid Walls.. Plausible?

[mooeypoo]

Hey guys,

 

Is it plausible to create a technology of phasing through solid walls like we see in sci-fi movies or is that too far-fetched?

 

Obviously, we can't in our days, but is that even a possibility for the future?

 

Thanks,

to me it would seem far fetched as you would have to supress the reactions of every particle in your body with every particle in the wall. otherwise, you would start to fuse(as in nuclear fusion) with the atoms in the wall when your nuclei get close enough to their nuclei. which would be potentially very messy.

You'd also need to differentiate between the walls and the floor.

Breathing might be an interesting problem too.

Geesh I didn't think about that.. hehehe..

 

So.. along with the breathing part (Why would there be a problem with that btw?) it's practically impossible?

Seems like it would be much easier to beam someone from point A to point B instead of trying to keep them intact during the "beaming" process.

For this to work you need to keep track of which atoms are part of you and which are not. Breathing mixes them up.

The door is a much simpler idea.
