  1. @thelastgherkin That's not how Transporters (claim to) work. No. They scan your body down to its quantum state, break it down into "subatomic particles", transfer those particles to the ship, where they're then encoded as energy and beamed through subspace (shortening the journey time) where they're then decoded from energy and reassembled using the data stored in the ships computer. People are concious, and at several points, actively molested by various energy beings, during the beaming process, so it definitely doesn't kill you.
