Introduction
The underlying science behind transporters is quite similar, if opposite to engines. They all involve particle transmission. Transporters were invented first, and later the secrets of the Boson Drive were unraveled; what remained
missing was the bit in-between: solar system travel.
Every rule is made to be broken, especially regards photons. In a transporter, the subject is showered with protons, a vector quantity that must change state when it comes to rest. These break down into a pair of quarks that live
for milliseconds, and die. Unlike virtually all other quarks, these share a natural repulsion once separated; they are forbidden to inhabit the same space-time co-ordinates. Within a transporter, these are governed by Singularity
Crystals, which are grown as identical but opposing pairs. Each pair is unique.
Particle docking, transmission, and release occurs because the quarks become valenced with Universal Elementary Particles, acronym UEP. During transportation, one UEP of the subject attaches to each quark, and is transferred to
the exact same relative position within the destination.
Peni explained how transporters and the Boson Drive worked to Jack, Kay, and n'Gnung in Book ThreeChapter 20 – Predefining the Arbitrary.
"Well, UEP's can be matter, or energy, or even thought. You could consider them to be the thirteenth participle. I think this may explain the existence of beings such as the Shaman. External forces can govern the UEP's state;
in this case the singularity crystals. When we transport, one quark is identified to be Sent to the destination. The other, Residual Quark, staying put as it were, where it bonds with a UEP, and once valenced, this becomes the
primary object of transfer.
"Now here's the trick. Both quarks must remain the same, if opposite, so as soon as the Residual Quark gains a UEP, so must the quark to be Sent. Once equal and opposite, Singularity Crystals get to work, the Sent Quark
arriving before transfer of the Residual Quark at the destination. The receiving Singularity Crystals ensure the Residual Quark deposits the original UEP at the precise nanometric destination, and do likewise with the second quark;
so two UEP's are actually transported each time. Because both quarks must remain identical, so, matter appears to disappear from the sending transporter, and reappears in the receiving one.
"Once transmission is complete, the Diversity Field surrounding both transporters, or point of destination, acts as a gauss to reunify the two quarks under direction of the Singularity Crystals. They reform the original
photon, but leave the matter transfer behind. There, told you it was simple.”
The remaining problem with transporters was one of scale; effectively the life of a pair of photon originated quarks is just over one millisecond. However, allowing for UEP bonding, un-bonding at destination, and reanimating
as a photon, the time available for transmission was substantially reduced. Even though quarks travel at the speed of light, their transmission range was limited to their half-life, or 0.6 milliseconds. That was the ultimate range
a living person could be transported in safety. Inanimate objects could push the boundary farther, but not by much.
In theory, it is possible to sequence a series of interlinked transporters, acting as relay stations to effect greater distance, but these are only viable within a known region, and they have be be built and configured. The maximum
range for human transportation is just less than ten-thousand miles. Therefore it would require twenty-three relay stations to reach the Moon; Mars is hundreds of millions of miles away, depending upon orbital synchronicity, the
closest for decades occurring in 2003, when Earth and Mars were less than thirty million miles apart [56 million kilometres].
The reason why transportation is seemingly available to any destination on Gaia, including those more than ten-thousand miles apart, is because quarks travel directly to the destination, through the earth; they do not follow the
curvature of Earth. Were this planet just a little bit larger, then a relay transporter would be required to reach the other side.
The Ancestors concluded it was untenable to build a transporter array to connect Mars to Gaia; it would require hundreds of thousands of interlinked and unsupported transfer circles. Accepting the distances as being from twenty-three
million to over four hundred million miles between the two, depending upon inter-planetary alignment, the configuration became absurd, especially when trying to contain both extremes of distance—something would go wrong, a life
would be lost.
Interestingly, scanners work in a similar way, their range being limited by the 'go and return' half-life of a pair of quarks.
