“The idea of being… deconstructed molecule by molecule, it’s more than I
can stand. Even when I was… a child, I always had a dreadful fear that,
if ever I was dematerialized, that I would… never come back again whole.”
Watch online at YouTube.
BTW, the YouTube link above is the first of four pieces. I couldn’t find this episode all in one chunk. Looks like CBS starting to go after BosnianTrekker. :mad:
Nooooooooooooo! Say it ain’t so!
Looks like most of the stuff he/she uploaded recently is still there. At least a couple episodes from the last season are gone, though. 
The sound of this one makes Picard sound very congested
I don’t like how everyone treats people that are afraid of using the transporter. I mean, it does involve a certain amount of existential horror.
And having seen Enterprise, I get it. I don’t think transporter accidents are nearly as common as say automobile accidents, but it’s still not a 0-accident form of transportation.
Hi friends.
I always like Barclay episodes.
And there’s ST the motion picture of course. “They’re forming!” :eek:
in the Stephen Hawking book"The Physics of Star Trek" Hawking pretty much says that the transporter is impossible.
Even if there’s no problems, there is the philosophical issue of whether you’re still you or just a copy. For someone like Reg, that could be crippling.
Badger, true about Reg finding that doubt crippling.
And I agree with Thot, I also enjoy the Reg episodes.
Everything’s impossible until it isn’t. 
I love Hawkings, but to me, that rings as false as the since-disproven proclamations of scientists from several centuries ago. Who knows where science could go in the next few centuries?
Yup. Hawking addresses that issue in his book also.
OK, that would be pretty much horrifying enough to never go near a transporter.
YouTube comment: 
“Geordi have you ever seen anything?”
Kind of insensitive thing to say…
True. But when you break it down Transporters sound like something that’s 1000s of years away not 100s.
Star Trek was kinda adverse to flawed characters. So Barclay is refreshing.
How likely would the internet seem in 1850? Super-sonic flight? Mag-Lev trains?
Predicting the future (or failing too) is often a question of imagination or the lack thereof.
Well, our understnading of the universe and physics does change over time. And we can predict now better than we could in 1850.
