It's a very broad stroke of the brush, from a physics view it entails quantum entanglement. The trick if you will would be to be able to determine or decide which location to 'collapse' to, think transporter in star-trek. Now whether that is occurring under the alexander array, I have not a clue.
another point to keep in mind, solid objects are not solid. where does your finger tip end and the table top begin? what keeps things from 'merging' into one another?
I'm trying to figure out how to write the rest of this post in terms that would make some sense or at least be understandable to those without a background in physics.
touching on the bending of space and time, while mathematically anything is possible there are many things that need to occur to make it possible that we do not have the ability or energy to do so.
hopping across the globe in tele-porters, would require massive amounts of energy. one of the issues is that people are not wholly separate from 3d-space. seeing as how we are all comprised of atoms and electrons, to blink out of one location would literally be tearing ourselves out of space. electrons tunnel, they move thru other dimensions if you will while being regulated to a specific location in our dimensional time and space. So while we may use terms of 'folding' or 'bending' space what really mean is to travel hyper-dimensionally. electrons do that at there quantum scale as it actually has zero spacial size, so in a way on the macro scale we do as well. That allows us and everything else to move about space-in-time. the equivalent rest energy* of an electron is ~0.5MeV, how many electrons are we made of?
*. I'm ignoring the debate over relativity and relativistic mass charge here as either way there is a lot of energy in an electron.
