Yeah, I think I saw at least one episode like you said where they used the teleporter to filter out a contagion, and there may have been other episodes with related things, and that just makes me wonder why they wouldn't do it more often. I also wonder if energy is matter and that matter is energy. Like, isn't an electron kind of like electricity which is kind of like energy and isn't light kind of like energy?
