If teleporting were that easy trust me we'd be using it now. The government would have been all over that like white on rice. Maybe it would have been an accident in '42 but by now they could have worked it out. You don't think they wouldn't jump at the chance to teleport to where Osama was or something like that?
I am sure it happened, and I'm sure something bad happened. You can't just wrap a sub in copper wire and not expect something bad to happen....
Do I think it was teleportation...nope.
What makes you think we aren't teleporting?
And it's not that simple... You can't just appear somewhere. It's completely random. The whole thing is about dimension traveling, really. I mean, the thing is, we don't know where Osama is! We can't teleport somewhere without knowing the location. And with the random effect, people would notice by the time we found Osama.
The whole principle is basically melting your craft into another dimension, and coming out the other side... like a wormhole. Only... we can't do this. Why?
Because, the human body is basically not fit for traveling between realms.... and you would be lucky to come out the other side even with a mental problem.
