Ok, here is my spin on teleportation:

The universe seems to us to work in "ways" that are governed by what we perceive as "laws".

To US, information can not travel faster then light, but what if the information is ALREADY THERE at the destination??

Just as some lizards can grow back an entire limb just from the genetic information contained in a single cell of their body. Scientists believe that human cells contain the same information even though we don't have the physical capability to recreate a whole limb. The genetic information contained in a single cell is enough to recreate the whole person, right? Not that it's possible, yet…

So is it such a leap of faith then to imagine that the whole universe could be recreated with one single particle of matter? Surely on some level, some very very deep level, the "laws of the universe" are contained in every single particle of matter. If that's the case then the information does not have to actually travel anywhere, it's already there…..
I'm not actually a student of any of this (beyond reading some Hawking and Schrödinger's cat ) so there could be a massive flaw to my logic that I'm not seeing, please feel free to point it out.
