The Solution

In september of last year, I posed a question about time dilation: http://deepindeepthought.blogspot.com/2014/09/question-about-time-dilation.html. What I did not know at the time was that it is physically impossible to send messages instantly, as was proven by one of einstein's thought experiments. 

My Opinion on Teleportation

For a while, I have been considering if teleportation is possible and feasible. Here are my thoughts:

1. Teleporting objects

How would you teleport objects? One way would be to read every particle and it's state, destroy all the particles, send the information to the other portal, and reconstruct the object there. The problems with this? The object's information could be lost, the process would take huge amounts of energy, and the transportation would not be instantaneous. But, it might be possible.

2. Teleporting Humans?

If you could teleport an object, could you teleport a human? This raises a few questions: 

Is a human just made up of matter? Currently science does not know how the brain works. I believe re-creating the physical part of someone's brain would not recreate their memories or their soul.

But, if it did, would it be a good idea to create this teleportation system? No. First of all, you would have to completely destroy someone, and recreate them. Basically you would be killing them, and attempting to reincarnate them somewhere else. This seems like a bad idea. And it seems illegal. 

Volume Problem...

If you played a song on very low volume and then when it started fading out slowly turned it up, what would happen?

My Magic Number Theory

What follows is my mostly developed Magic Number theory or Jem Theory that probably already exists but I haven't found yet.

Every Platonic Solid (there are 5 total) has a magic number... You may be thinking "how do we get this number? why is it magic? what is a 'plant on it' solid?" Don't worry, I will answer all of you questions in good time.

First of all, what is a Platonic Solid? It is a 3D object where every face is the same Polygon. Read more about them here: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/platonic-solids.html

Ok, ok that's great. So what about this whole 'Magic Number' thing? If you add up the total number of corners, and then multiply it by however many edges and faces each corner is touching, you get the Magic Number for that solid. But that's not all; if you add up the total number of faces and multiply that by the number of edges and corners each face touches, once again, you get the magic number. You also get the magic number if you add up the total number of edges the solid has, and then multiply it by the number of corners and faces that edge touches (for this one it's always 4), as you can guess, you get the magic number.

A list of the magic numbers for each shape:

Cube: 48
Dodecahedron: 120

Shapes where the sides are triangles:
Tetrahedron: 24
Octahedron: 48
Icosahedron: 120

Oh, and if you have any ideas how these numbers relate please let me know in the comments or something (more detailed list below);

Name	# faces	Face shape	Jem Number
Tetrahedron	4	Triangle	24
Octahedron	8	Triangle	48
Icosahedron	120	Triangle	120
Cube	6	Square	48
Dodecahedron	12	Pentagon	120
