Theorically it's possible. What would have to happen would be the person operating the transport, only beams you to the transporter; then keeps you in the transporter's buffer indefinitely. But if the transporter malfunctions or if for whatever reasons it loses power, then you too would be lost for all time. In short, mortal human beings would have to agreee beforehand to keep your essence within the tranporter's buffer for all time..But if you were brought out of stasis from the transporter you would start to age again so you'd have to spend most of your time in stasis within the transporter's buffer. Would it be worth that type of immortality?

If you have transporter technology available you don't need sick bay on board the ship! If your injured or wounded they simply beam you back onboard whole again and then back into the frey! If you're killed on a mission they simply recreate you with some of your memories missing!Perhaps they can keep updating the recording of you on a real time basis and then when your recreated no gaps will be present!

No, because that's not how the transporter works (TAS: "Yesteryear" notwithstanding). It's designed to transport an object WITHOUT making alterations.

I dont believe so. I suppose you could just keep transporting back in time, but, it is not a time machine. You wouldnt get any younger, and I dont believe you could avoid dying of old age. I hope this helps.

No, but you can sustain yourself in the pattern buffer for quite a long time, like Scotty did when he appeared on TNG, but eventually the pattern degrades.
