@Mastertiergaming So what I'm getting here is that Scotty is the Ash Ketchum of Star Trek.

So with teleporters that take someone apart, and rearrange atoms in the target location according to the same design, sure, there's issues. With Star Trek transporters, though, you don't need atoms at the target location. You're not really taken apart, you're 'disassembled' by being shrunk Ant-Man style into a subspace 'quantum realm' and then brought back out again at the target spot like a Pokémon. /end

It's why Barclay could see creatures in the beam; while most people enter a stasis-state, we know in Star Trek that some humans can have a Psi-rating that means they have connections to the universe that we don't understand. Reg being able to move and interact with stuff in the pocket universe of the transporter beam could be a manifestation of that.

... with the subspace pocket potentially having a 'nexus' quality of retaining an essence of the person to duplicate, or accessing a tangential timeline, or even creating a branching timeline to create the second person.

It's why Tuvix can happen: the energy trackers getting mixed and resulting in accessing multiple subspace pockets at once to a single confinement beam, with the flower's unique chemistry resulting in a 'not-motion-picture-homunculus'.

It's why energy shields can prevent transporters, why frequency modulation can circumvent this in some circumstances, why some energy manipulation technologies can get around it entirely, and why energy disruptions can result in weirdness; 'subspace' is a great 'space magic' narrative tool, so having a storm overhead result in the homing beam splitting into two and pulling the same person out the subspace pocket twice, ...

It's why, with no 'target', the first transporter experiment on a person resulted in their beam shooting through space only to be intercepted elsewhere years later.

Transporter technology uses energy to create subspace bubbles that the target gets broken up into, those bubbles are accessed at the target location with a 'homing particle' launched so the target location can access the same subspace "honeycomb" that you were stored in. It's you at both ends.

It's like personal-scale hyperspace, an alternate reality that you shift into.

Been thinking about Star Trek transporters and the usual discourse surrounding them. 🧵

In Star Trek specifically, most of the media focusing on transporters directly contradicts this "atomise you, and use the data to rearrange atoms at the target location; you die and a new you takes over" idea from what I recall.

We have the comic of the first transporter experiment, the Barclay episode with the transporter beasts, and various transporter accidents that suggest the following:
