Nuclear Experiments to travel through Space

well why not? if time traveling would be possible then so is teleportation.

Teleportation involves breaking down matter in one location then rebuilding it in another.
This poses several issues.
1. How do you make sure that the reconstructed matter is the same as the original? By same I mean a particle level exact copy of the original, including the states and speeds of each. You cannot determine all those at once (Uncertainty principle).
2. Now, let's assume you can do (1). The amount of bandwidth required to transmit all that information is very, very large. Even if you can send it at lightspeeds, sending the information will still take time. It won't be as instantaneous as the media (movies, tv shows) suggests.
3. If you teleport a human, you technically killed the person then recreated him/her in another location. This might raise the eyebrows of some.

Can't they develop something like warpping the object from one place and making it appear in another? Not teleporting, but actual warping. So basically, there's a door in front of you but it's blocked by squishy material. You walk through it, and as your walking your body appears through the other side of the door in another location.

if only humans didnt kill off witchcraft and/or sorcery then we might be developing such a thing by now :D
on the other hand, what about instantaneous conductivity? i mean transporting matter through conducting one part of it through matter into another. though the system required would be godly i bet.

Your "warping" is similar to wormholes.
That also has issues.
1. How do you make it big enough for a human to pass?
2. How do you make it stable and last long enough for a big object to pass?
3. You do not know where the other end of a wormhole leads to. The other end might lead you to a surface of a star or even worse, a blackhole.

instantaneous conductivity? wtf is that?
