Thoughts On Teleporting, via astral projection Options

This hasn't really formulated in my mind enough yet to become a theory, so it's more just a jumble of thoughts I wanted to get some input on. I came across a few theories in various sources where people believed that someone could teleport physically with enough practice by astral projecting and then pulling their physical body to them. I also came across a website while researching something completely unrelated - that is, underground tunnels in cities that gangs used for fast escapes. I found a lot of information speculating the existance of some underground tunnels in San Fransisco, although they were never found after the gigantuous earthquake. As to the original point, theres a theory that the tunnels didnt physically exist, but there were secret rooms with certain metals and gemstones used for conducting enough energy to teleport out, using some magical laws of chinese alchemy. Site is here if you want to read the less scattered summary:

ANYWAY, I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this would be possible, or the theory of summoning your body to you with astral projection has any possibilities. Also, I know a lot of people agree with the concept of astrally travelling in time on the spiritual plane. If one's able to teleport through astral projection, in theory it would also be possible to pull your body through time, therefore time travelling physically. Pretty sketchorific stuff. Not sure what my opinions are on any of this, but any others are welcome. Thanks

PS - Not sure if this belongs in this forum, so move if it should be elsewhere

I saw a show a while back that basically said if you could create a computer powerful enough to commit the entire genome of an individual to a hard drive you could basically use that to copy them. Of course you'd still need some sort of matter converter that could take a person, strip them down to nothing but bits of information and then reconfigure matter within a small area into that person at a different location. But if it could be done effectively, say you have infanite energy, teleporting would basically be able to clone people. Imagine an army powered by teleporters, it be nearly unbeatable.

What I wonder is does a person who goes through one of these teleporters come back out the same person? I mean you essentially die unless your own concsiousness can also be retained as a sort of artificial intelligence. You would come back out and basically be yourself, have the same memories, brain waves patterns and all else. Obviously a single consciousness cannot exist in multiple bodies unaided. Still though its interesting stuff to consider - and scientist think this stuff is possible, just at immeasurably high energy costs and really advanced tech.

That is what I said.

Keep in mind, if you could pull it off, what would happen to you in the meantime in the lag time. For that moment, your entire body has been ripped apart molecule by molecule. Think about if I wanted to take you on a plane. I cut you up into little pieces, stuff you in a suitcase, and when I arrive put you back together. Sorry, your dead. You won't just come back. Your body has been completely broken down, so technically you are dead, all biologically processes would have been completely broken down.

I wish I could teleport... I wish that I could fly, I am really hurting for em. I am not going to try and kill myself trying (yes it us quite possible to kill yourself and get no where close).

I shall say this and say no more. I don't think anyone would have the power to do this and it would probably require a machine anyways, but I go for the most probable way of teleporting by shifting planes and dimensions.
