      Definitely not. Being vapourised would turn us into a cloud of gas, which would making living very difficult!

      No, it would kill us! I think it would be very useful if someone could invent a transporter like on Star Trek though – it would save on a lot of travelling time!

      Umm nope! The idea of vaporisation doesn’t sound very nice 🙁

      But if you want to be teleported, some scientists think it may be possible using ‘quantum entangling’ that can transmit your image to a specific point anywhere else. But you don’t get taken away from the original place, so there would be two of you, and would the original one really be you?
