the things that have been possible for decades have been hidden by
the gov...
my great-grandfather worked for Lockheed on the Skunkworks Project. my dad asked him if it was possible to 'beam up' like on Star Trek. All he could say was it was classified information, but the things we were capable of would blow his mind. that was over 30 years ago...imagine what we can do now.
edit: as a fun fact, my great-grandfather was
the one to discover an obscure mathematical equation (by a then-obscure scientist from Russia, i think) that made the SR-71 non-detectable by radar. he served as mentor to the lead on the project, and was taken out of retirement to work on it.
