Does it work?

"Now let me explain the process," said Micaie.

He rotated his chair around towards the computer screen with an illustration of the concept and motioned his audience to come in closer.

"Now the main problem of life is transportation and therefor speed since all transportation relies on an amount of time to make it either affordable or convenient. Now what if we could jump past the speed of light? Here is the concept.

When Einstein discovered that all mass exhibits some amount of energy it was also concluded that you could never hit the speed of light due to the lack of energy required within our bodies to make the jump. However, the closer you get to the speed of light the more energy you must exhibit and at the moment you hit light speed I purpose that you would become pure energy in the most basic form of a jumbled mass of electrons, protons, and neutrons or unorganized matter.

Here is the tricky part. We take all this unorganized matter as it was before we launch someone into light speed and we create a sort of blue prints for their bodies which we input into the stream of energy that we have created. We send it along with the accelerated energy and practically "beam" it to the final location of interception."

"But wouldn't that mean we could just take a blueprint as they are now and send that by itself so that scientists at the other location could replicate anyone using the current matter that they have?" asked John pensively.

"Necessarily, and this is why it gets tricky and would require many amounts of tests which our benefactors Concor have so generously donated," replied Micaie.

"From what my understanding of how we get our intellect is, is that only the matter that is associated with our current bodies has the ability to be commanded by us. To replicate something with that blue print but without the proper matter would be creating an empty shell with nothing to give it life.
At the final location we would then slow down the matter and use the blue print to piece it back together in its proper order as it turns back form energy to matter, just as photons give up their energy to electrons in photosynthesis the energy generated from the speed would give up it energy and then again become matter."

"That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard and even if it were true or possible it doesn't solve any riddle about how we can advance an objects velocity above or beyond that of the speed of light. How do you propose we do that genius?" asked Marc skeptically.

"Aha, the easier problem that we have had to deal with," replied Micaie.

"When you go jogging you probably maintain a speed of about 5 or 7 miles an hour, correct."

"I'd like to say I go faster but yes."

"Well if we stick you on a boat going 50 knots then you would then be running at a pace of 5 or 7 miles an hour but traveling at a rate of 50 knots plus 5 or 7 miles an hour, correct?"

"I suppose so."

"So lets put you your boat in a man made wave pool and set jets to propel the water at 20 miles an hour. We can assume that your relative speed would not be 20 miles an hour plus 50 knots plus 5 or 7 miles an hour, correct?

Now the energy required to propel you is the same amount of energy invested by the three components, your legs, the boat's engines, and the man made wave pool's jets. With magnetism nature's natural forces are used to repel same charged sides. Here is what we propose," He hit a series of keys on the computer. "We build a compartment as if it were a space ship, and we put magnets within it so as to propel the object in account, and then we put that ship in another ship that has magnets which will propel the first ship, and we put that second one in a third one. Using magnetism it would be like propelling the propeller which propels the propeller so as to reach a speed unaccounted for." said Micaie very pleased with himself.

"You can't deny the logic of it. Now we only need to test if it works."

"I'm still skeptical and that doesn't answer how we are going to slow down the energy that composes 'us' so as to be able to recreate ourselves."

"It's simple," called a voice from the catwalk at the other edge of the room. It was Calvin, the authority of Concor. "We shoot it with energy in reverse order as if two ping pong balls hit each other at the exact right angle and the exact right speed so as to slow down the one and dissipate the other. We need you on board gentleman. You are the brightest in the world and we need to put forth this theory to test at so many levels that human beings will trust themselves into being turned into energy."

John and Marc looked at Felix, who hadn't said a word the entire time. He looked back at them and nodded. Felix had the most creativity under his resume. He was known for his genius and knowledge but even more so for his clever ways of using that knowledge. His silence always put everyone in the room at unrest. He just didn't care to talk that much. He wasn't shy but neither was he a fool.

"We'll do it," said John, the natural leader.
