7:30. Have you ever seen that Outer Limits episode from the '90s. That use that exact same principle. By which just the information was sent. And then reconstructed on the other side. Perpetrated by a species of velociraptor. 😆🙈🤷 However. You would then have an original and a perfect copy.! And in this episode. They had something called " Equalizing the equation." Where the original is destroyed and only the perfect copy remains. But wouldn't you know it. The verification of whether or not the transmission and or reconstruction was successful. Failed allowing the original to stay alive. Afterwards you find out the transmission and reconstruction was completely successful. At which point they require the original to get back in the suicide booth. Naturally they refuse to do this. And the drama of the episode ensues. It was a pretty interesting episode. Which comes to mind when thinking of "Quantum Intanglement" as a type of teleportation. Have you ever seen that one.?

[@onlyonewhyphy]

Either way, you will not survive the process

[@lintahro6828]

Teleportation by directly transferring you? Or teleportation by cloning you? Direct transfer teleportation is not entirely possible with today's knowledge. First, we would have to learn how to clone teleport before we could directly teleport your body. But clone teleportation would be safe, for you of course, assuming we scanned the body, then transfered it, and then cloned it. The only danger is for the clone, and that is if they recreate it wrong. Direct transfer is more dangerous. Technology would probably be advanced enough to purposely change your personality, and/or, your body. In early stages of direct transport, you could be, for lack of better explanation, splinched (Harry Potter reference to which a person leaves part of the body behind). This could vary in extremely to the entire loss of an organ, to only missing a few atoms. I don't understand much about consciousness, but according to what he stated in the video, this is what we can deduce.

Awesome cyberpunk idea: Setup artificial bodies at different "teleportation" points, these bodies are mechanical but synthetic enough that it still feels human to operate. It'd be similar to buying a rent-a-bike in a city, you can use the body as long as you pay for it and have a passport/clearance. You're not teleporting your body, rather you're teleporting your mind. Not saying that's a simple tasks, but it's a cool idea. Kinda like ghost in the shell.

[@sharkslaya212]

Altered Carbon needlecasting?

[@Laffy-ix5xy]

They did something like that in Dark Matter too.

[@robertbingham8053]

I was headed in that direction. The human mind will probably be up loadable before true teleportation happens. I'm sure mechanical bodies would eventually be available like renting a car. Then you just do a data transfer to the body. You also could obviously have save point and data back-up as well. We still wouldn't break light speed, but we could get pretty close to it. Then if entanglement works out, we could teleport FTL ( the mechanical bodies would still be slow to move to the teleportation site.). And yes - like Altered Carbon.

I believe in quantum entanglement but teleportation won't happen. For that to happen, we must see space differently and even consider gravity and speed of light in the manner no one has ever thought of.

[@lintahro6828]

That's kind of what he said... But the fact that your consciousness gets "flash transfered" to your clone is not possible unless we find a way to quantum transfer exact consciousness from one human brain to another. Otherwise, like he stated, you will just have a cline which acts exactly like you, but with the knowledge that they are a clone.

Two of them are fused into the bulkhead wall behind them, parts of their visors and gauntlets and knees protruding seamlessly from the grey adamantium. Another has been reduced to a glistening red sludge by re-formation failure. He is spread over a wide area.A fourth, Brother Verkus, has materialised bonded into the deck plates from the waist down. He is the one screaming. It's not as though he can be pulled out. He is the deck now, and the deck is him.

[@cs3705]

Yeah, thats pretty much the deal. If you were to copy every single particle in the body and brain and reconstruct it, you would have a carbon copy of yourself. They would share all the same memories and experiences and no one else would be able to tell that its a copy, including the copy itself. However, YOU, your conscious experience of this world, will cease to exist. You would essentially die, and a perfect COPY of you would live on. To everyone else, its still you. But its really not, you are gone. Trippy stuff to think about. Really, the only feasible way to teleport without this happening would be to mess with and move through spacetime itself. IE wormholes and the like.

I'm getting really mad that the harder I work to understand everything that I know about the more I realize I will never catch up with that which I have not yet discovered

Better than experiencing the same feeling you get after beating a game and know there's nothing new to see in it

[@Linusgump]

That’s the problem with being well educated. You learn how much you simply don’t know. That’s a real phenomenon that has been studied. The more smart someone is, the more ignorant they feel, versus the less smart someone is the more intelligent they think they are.

[@keithprice475]

Well done, Thoughty! Mind you, I'd thoroughly confound the whole issue yet further by questioning the basic assumption that you consist entirely and basically of all the atoms in your body! Or that if you do in some sense, whether that makes the idea of disassembling you at the atomic level and reassembling you elsewhere something that could even work in principle. In philosophy, there are few gnarly issues quiet as gnarly as those around personal identity and if you want to get into THAT you'll give your viewers even more headaches to ponder!

When you think about it, in infinite time and possibly space, everything you can imagine will eventually happen.

[@dxb8086]

Nope. That's just romanticising. It's utter nonsense.

[@zp944]

Or is already happening. It's literally impossible for a human to conceptualize the scale of this place we live in. You can put a number on anything, but that doesn't mean you can even fathom what that means. For example, a simple deck of 52 cards. If all 8 billion people on earth each shuffled a deck at the rate of 1 shuffle per second, it would take 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to create every single possible card combination. If something as unassuming as a deck of cards has such an inconceivable number of possibilities, surely the possibilities in a universe that theoretically has no end, is truly unimaginable. For all we know, there could be millions of additional universes that exist in the very same plane as ours, so impossibly far away that they'll never be seen, but that all play out the exact same way as our universe, with slight tweaks. And it might not be something as mundane as whether or not you ever asked out your crush. These universes could have entirely different physics than ours. Then again, everything is technically impossible, until it's not. Until something happens, the possibilities of what CAN happen are infinite, and therefor the probability of anything happening is 0%. But once it happens, then it's 100%.

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

@@dxb8086 in the way he put it yes it's nonsense, but the essence of what he said is factually true. Given enough time the possible becomes the probable then finally definite.

Teleportation in SF is at least cheaper to film. That is the reason it showed up in Star Trek.

I think they should start off with a replicator before going to transporter. Kirk did say, "So beam me up." in the episode "The doomsday machine."

[@dralord1307]

I remember watching a documentary years back about some scientists teleporting light atoms back in the late 90's

[@Christmasdog24]

But if you “teleport” a non Living object like small rock you could essentially duplicate it

[@ailouros24]

if we had a 3d printer for atoms yes, but no such thing exists. that is the hardest part of this whole thing. i mean, forget people, we already know the molecular structure of most metals. if such a printer existed we could tell it what a gold molecule looks like and have it print out a few billion. even better if it could do it by restructuring rocks. forget transportation, give me a duplication machine. you could colonize planets with one of them.

[@octobsession3061]

The rock will at least become dust at atomic scale if the printing phase is skipped

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

@@ailouros24 every 3d printer prints using atoms... Nothing exists without them lol

[@trevorphelps8516]

Any thoughts on the idea of quantum tunneling on a massive scale? You know, every subatomic particle in the person's body being induced to quantum tunnel the exact same distance, in the exact same direction, at the exact same time. Sstill the stuff of science fiction, but could it one day become science fact?

[@jaytravis2487]

I expect these kinds of questions from my six year old niece, not a grown person.

[@fernandobernardo6324]

There's a thing called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle that prohibits it.

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

Wtf would tunneling have to do with teleporting?

[@cjmasaka1317]

"Beam me up scotty" 😂😂 i defenatly fell for it

[@FriskyFive]

The issue with teleporting in general comes down to neuroscience, in that, memories aren’t physical things, but signals that travel across neuroma and synapses in certain patterns… once the neurone is destroyed, it can be restored, but the signal cannot, and would have to be recreated by experiencing it again. So even if it were possible to deconstruct yourself and reconstruct somewhere else, it would still not be “you” as all of your memories would be destroyed… that is of course, unless we find a way to upload these signals and patterns to then download them at a later stage. But that still doesn’t answer the question about conscientiousness It’s a very complicated topic for discussion, and I’m not an expert in the slightest, I mean, I open and close doors for a living, so I don’t really have any right to argue, but I personally believe that these things mean that teleportation, in the sense that we’d hope, will never be possible But that’s just a theory… A commoners theory

[@Chimerathedragon]

I think the best "Teleportation" thought was the warping of space to get where you want in a single step

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

That's not teleportation though. It's just travel...

[@DrSebby]

Sounds like something that would require an enormous amount of energy, if it's even possible

[@soul832006]

Quantum entanglement sounds a bit like the sci fi concepts of reaching out through space to connect to a person's mind as demonstrated by the Vulcans in Star Trek Discovery.

[@Legola87]

No.

that is a "Mind meld" and it was first done on STAR TREK no bloody TNG DS9 voy or Enterprise

It would be instantaneous. Your body would be transported before your receptors had time to react.

You could potentially teleport information instantly to a robot that’s been sent to a planet light years away. This combined with future VR technology you could explore other worlds in the universe.

[@michaellarrybest8193]

Don't electrons quantum leap- (teleport) -from one atom to the next in electricity? If so, does their existence as a probability field count as a physical thing teleporting?

[@spanqueluv9er]

@Michael Larry Best Nope.

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

What do you mean their existence as a probability field? They either exist here or there...

[@michaellarrybest8193]

@@A_Stereotypical_Guy My understanding of the double slit experiment is that electrons exist as a wave of probability taking all paths until observed by human consciousness then the wave collapses into individual particles. Research collapse of the wave function in quantum physics. Reality seems to be a simulation imo.

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

Well of course reality is simulated...there is no question there. But those particles aren't influenced by consciousness they're influenced by the photons or whatever other electromagnetic energy we use to measure them. Remember EM is discreet particles as well, and when they collide with the particle being measured we then know for certain where it is. The wave function isn't a real thing...as in a legitimate wave of probability in a particular field, it's just a mathematical function that describes the probability of where a particle may be. Unless you're talking about photons...those are actually a wave and a particle. But be careful how you identify a particle. It isn't a little spherical ball of matter, it's a point of energy. Like an infinitesimal value of energy pushing it's way into reality. The only time particles become anything tangible is when they join together in ample numbers to have what we classically know as mass.

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

@@odonnelly46 That hasn't been shown at all...that is one of many explanations of what a wave function is. Many people, including myself and Sabine, believe the particle is definitely either here or there, but we're missing a hidden set of variables that allow us to make this exact prediction.

[@superkiwistar]

never say never. technology is improving at an incredible rate. information transfer could increase dramatically. problem is whether a soul is deported, too. wormholes may exist, too, and time travel may be possible. just a short time ago, dark matter and dark energy were unheard of - yet, now, are believed to make up the majority of the universe (dark matter 85% of the matter in the universe), although composition is unknown and is still just theoretical.
