I was wondering if any Sudo-imagineers knew anything about Flux Capacitors
(http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Flux_capacitor).
I want to see if I can go back in time and change the wording of a recent email I wrote
and have been told that a flux capacitor would be necessary to accomplish this.

Relatedly, it may be worth our while to try and integrate a teleportation scenario
strategy into our look at Oakland real estate. Distance from BART would become a less
prominent criterion, for sure - but cost would probably still somehow get tethered to
whether you had to travel by private or public transportation beams.

Finally, although it cannot take the credit for
teleport, and the relevant sense of transporter has not (yet) entered the OED, it seems
that Star Trek did give us this sense of beam v.:
To transport (someone or something) through space as if along a beam of light or energy
(esp. up to a spacecraft)
… as well as the corresponding intransitive sense (‘to travel through space in this
way’). The phrase ‘beam me up, Scotty’, expressing one’s wish for a quick and painless
escape from an undesirable situation, was inspired by, but not quoted directly from, the
dialogue of the original TV series.
