Although not teleportation,energy can travel real fast, depending on what kind of energy it is. Different forms of energy travels at different rates. Light energy would be great in this instance. But the trick is to convert from energy back to mass again the same as you started out.

I think the future is unlimited. People keep thinking about impossible things that end up becoming a matter of reality; it just takes time. I think that by the time fusion is figured out and black or dark matter (black hole stuff) is figured out, they will both play a part in the development of teleportation. Even if we never figure it out, I'm sure some other wonderful discoveries will be made in the process. Humans are blessed with very creative minds.
