 Matter is converted into power and sent out as a radiant beam. The beam is then focused to convert it back into atoms at the destination.
 Matter is converted into power and sent out as a radiant beam. The beam is then focused to convert it back into atoms at the destination.  A photographic lens picks up an object in one place and reproduces it in a different place using light rays.  A radiant beam converts matter into power in order to be sent and then converted back into atoms at a new destination.  Particles of electricity are united to form an atom.
