We should make a self-help book. We'd become millionaires-or rather-we already are millionaires.

Real teleportation lets you stay in one spot; it just moves the rest of the universe. @DefenderX - I see your new avatar 04-18-2015, 04:25 PM

I don't feel comfortable with teleportation, as even an exact duplicate of me is not the same actual brain structure.
I assume without any justification that my brain in 10 seconds is the same mind as my brain, right now. I don't feel comfortable doing it when my body is being destroyed and recreated. Even more so when my body is duplicated. It's unethical to create two copies of a person, not know who to kill, not know the ethical implications of keeping both alive.

May this become reality for you soon. 04-18-2015, 10:42 PM

The point of teleportation though is that it WILL be the same actual brain structure. Using perfect teleportation with no data compression, the teleported you would have each and every particle exactly the same way as the pre-teleport you, hence it would also have the exact same brain structure and chemistry and stuff. If anything, the worst teleportation would involve would be pretty much freezing a person in time for the duration of the teleport. That said, now that I think about it, the uncertainty principle might be annoying when reconstructing a person exactly. Not sure exactly how much it would actually affect the accuracy of a teleported person, though. Also, happy birthday KHg8m3r!

Uh, did someone from here add me on Steam the other day?
Curiosity struck me so I accepted, but I don't know who this is and their profile is set to private. Their current name is "[unassigned]". |
