      @sandwich2473 8 лет назад +12

      foxclown I do, but I feel like that's different. Like putting a computer to sleep.
      I feel like consciousness is just a thing that's there and, when you die, it goes away.I don't know, I'm not sure if anyone knows.
      Oh well.

      foxclown I have been sedated before I remember right when I got sedated and I have flashed of a short while after.
      I know I was conscious and living but anyway, I don't think it matters too much at the current moment of time. I'm no philosopher..

      +Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky yeah but if it is possible then why not make it happen in real life?
      that is it will be a while before we can transmit a living organism without it having parts of its body reassembled just not right now also you will run into the problem what if you used it thus you are stored within the computer system but you died later on is it ethical to reassemble the atom direct image of you from before?
      another question if it is possible to do so how will you stop a person or a country from making an army out of 1 person who all think the same way and all have the same body and the same history ?
      another question will be how much power will it take to use it at all to transmit something bigger than an atom? after that is it possible to transmit a human of any age outside of the womb without requiring a plant full of power generators to feed it power?
      if it is possible and done how do you stop people from using it to make a copy of you then keeping a copy of you while letting the real you go about your business? thus making 2 of you and thus cloning
      i am sure that there will be many more questions closer to when it is seable to work in real life but thing about how useful and how destructive it can be if you can make anything or anyone out of an image on a computer somewhere and have it or the body work without any thing extra done to it or them
      in short a 3D printable for entire living people but instead of taking hours to assemble them taking shorter and having it live at the end without any memory loss to the person

      +Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky I don't think this is true.
      In medieval times, people would say witches appeared out of nowhere and did witchy things.
      This would be teleportation, even if they didn't use that exact word.

Now i think of myself as a complete different person every second of my life.

    @OmegaMegalodon 8 лет назад +4

    To explain the above further in layman terms:
    Our brains is like a computer hard-disk, we learns and stores memories in our lifetime.
    If we 'reconstruct' the new brain at the new location, it is akin to transferring and storing all the information on USB drive and bringing it over and plunging in and storing it on the new computer.
    The new computer - your new self now contains the same instruction set and software programs as the old computer - your old self.
    But because your new self now has a brain of his own, your new self gains a separate individuality. Basically both of you are like twins.

      Happens in a comic about future mercs. Schlock Mercenary. SPOILERS:
      There are some Gates that allow FTL travel, but most of the galaxy is unaware the owners of the gate are creating exact duplicates of everyone who comes through, drugging them, interrogating them, then killing them. The original goes on blissfully unaware.
      This race(the gate owners) uses the information to remain the most powerful in the Galaxy, because only the top richest/most influential members of other races even get to travel via the gates, so they have all sorts of political secrets and such on all the other galatic races.

    I think that it would still be you on the other side of the teleportation. Because we are pure information. Information is what separates us from a rock, a tree or anything in the Universe. Our particles exist in many and all lifeless materials. But the information on how these particles are arranged, is the key to why we "exist" and have consciousness...

      SOMA SPOILERS BELOW
      It's a similar concept but unrelated to teleportation. SOMA plays with the idea of self awareness and what would happen if a human conscience was copied onto a machine. The machine would feel like the same person (similarly to a teleported person) and would feel like they just changed bodies but the real person would look at the machine and believe it to be an impostor (much like what would happen if the teleporting person was left intact).

  • @alloria

      I just imagined that each star-ship has a portal cannon in its weapon array that fires a portal onto an appropriate surface on a planet. the corresponding portal forms the ceiling of a special air-locked room on board ship.
      climbing out of a hole in the ground, or being elevated out of it for each mission would have significantly changed episodes where the crew sneak into an area by teleporting behind some houses :-)

      Yes, it's a wormhole.
      Two problems:
      Spacetime curvature around such a tight doorway would be like a small black hole, so you would be spaghettified as you approach it.
      The math of the forces necessary to keep the wormhole open as you pass through it imply a need for negative energy, a purely hypothetical concept.
      Negative energy also pops up in hypothetical warp drive concepts.

      The no cloning theorem doesn't have anything to do with entangled states in particular. Though no, there are plenty of particles in the exact same state.
      The no cloning theorem is that it is impossible to take any unknown state and clone it. You can easily clone known states.

    Well if people can be resuscitated after their brain activity stops completely and be perfectly fine then teleportation shouldn't be that bad because both are pretty much exactly the same. In other words temporarily being unconscious for a certain amount of time. It should be safe as long as you're being transferred not copied, since it would be like blinking for a second then appearing elsewhere.

You can not really tell, how good he really is at physics without studying physics yourself and reading some of his own papers.
      But I would guess, his strenght is probably more melting a complex subject down and explaining it in a simple and explainatory way and not physics itself. And while that is great, it is not necessarily needed in a corporation but rather in education (which happens to be exactly what he does here).
