One step closer to teleporters

Screw teleporters, I want replicators

Aww, that guy's kinda cute, why wouldn't I want to let it live in my house with its pals?

It's just a toy!

I’ve been watching SG1 for the first time and recently watched this episode. Buckets of fun!

All of the above and holodecks please

Is there much difference between the two logistically? Seems like the replicator is just the second half of a transporter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Well there's an episode in ds9 where a replicator is modified into a teleporter, so in the star trek universe they're very similar. Replicators reconstitute matter from waste material, and seems to me to be far more likely in the realm of scientific possibility.

Yeah, I suppose replicators are an inevitable punctuated step on the way.
