gollark: You do need to have available matter to convert on the other end, and the whole concept is very hard to implement.
gollark: If you disæssemble something into its constituent particles or something, record every detail of their state (which might be impossible too?) and transmit it to another thing which reassembles it, that's lightspeed teleportation, ish.

gollark: * lightspeed for data, sublight for matter
