Why Not Personal Warp Fields Instead of Matter Transporters?

By the way, the Stargate in StarGate SG:1 has been described as a matter transporter in a number of episodes.

In the one where Teal'c was stuck in the gate after the ship struck the gate and exploded on the other side, the description of the gate capabilities closely mirrored those of a Star Trekkian transporter.

I would rather use the "Digital Conveyor" they use on Galaxy Quest.

Maybe so, but in your original post you state that you believe the transporters are not possible based on real life research being carried out by real life scientist but then say warp technology could replace transporter technology as if warp drive IS possible (and who knows, by the 24th century it may be but I just doubt it). Anyway, back into my TARDIS. toodlepip.

Something like the device in "Deja Vu"...a mini wormhole, to create a path/tunnel to get something/somebody from one place/time to another...
I've always imagined "portals" where you could simply walk from, say, Chicago to Austin...on one side of the portal is where you are in Chicago, you walk through, and you are actually in Austin... (Like the guardian in City on the edge of forever).

I was always bothered by that Willy Wonka-Vision distructive method of explaining how they got from here to there.

Always kind of agreed with the doctor....
