Is the transference of the human soul possible? Most thought very unlikely, but the nude woman lying atop a cold lab table in a vacuum-sealed chamber separated by ten feet of empty lab space from the one she entered would convey otherwise.
What happens when humanity, space-time, and the universe collide in the same instance? An imperceptible rip is created through the fabric of space-time through which a ripple will emerge on both sides of the seam. Dr. Paul MacCauley and his team of four researchers pay witness to that which they did not anticipate - the ill-effects of an imperceptible but profoundly consequential ripple. Shortly after the ground-breaking and first-ever teleportation event of living human tissue, the ripple would impact multitudes in a brazen and bloody bank robbery gone horribly wrong.
As for the other side of the seam, the only known effect, ill or otherwise, came in the form of a coded message received at a ground-based observatory in West Virginia. The message that first seemed a riddle with no plausible answer, became burdened with context.
Humanities essence might very well be the theoretical barrier to human teleportation.
