  • @773Spair
    @773Spair 3 года назад +44

    I've thought of true teleportation as "traveling or being transported to another point in space without having been present anywhere in between." You wouldn't have cognition of being anywhere in between, nor would you have to be concerned over inertia, momentum, or your body's energy or mass consumption. If your teleportation takes time, you would need Earth's center of mass as a standard, but if it's instant, you would only need to know where you're going from one reference or another.
    The type of teleportation I like more is Spacial Exchange: whatever volume your body and things you're holding and wearing take would be exchanged with whatever was in the size and shape of you in your target destination. The other type involves time, but is difficult to describe: time and space are manipulated so it's like you were in different places leading up to a point in time without history actually being changed.

    • @alexandermcclure6185
      @alexandermcclure6185 Месяц назад +1

      Yes, but this form of "instant" travel causes problems. It breaks time. How?
      Let's say there's a rocket speeding in the general direction of Earth at half the speed of light.
      You teleport to the rocket from your "now," but because the time axis is skewed at high speeds, you can teleport back earlier than when you left.
      Repeat this a couple hundred times with distant objects (you don't need rockets), and you've gone to the Triassic.
      Wanna go back? Just repeat the process with things going the other way.
      That "instant" teleportation would give you time travel, like a tachyon.
      Thus, a modest solution. Light-speed travel.
      You still wouldn't recall being anywhere in between, but traveling to the spaceship and back wouldn't net you any negative change.
      This solution avoids breaking relativity, so I'm sure Einstein would be happy about that.

    In every origin story with almost no exception, the "hero" experiences some kind of psychological trauma that they never really recover from. It's not so much "no imagination" it's more in the way of fueling the grief spiral under the excuse of altruism. But, hey. I'm just a cynic. great video Tom!

Worth it, even if you have to set off a nuke equivallent to Tsar Bomba to get the starting energy to set up the portals. It's technically worth it even if you have to destroy the entire universe to satisfy the energy requirements, as infinite is infinite.

      An open portal resets when the associated portal gun goes trough a Material Emancipation Grill. This strongly suggests the portals are in some way dependent on the portal gun, and that the Grill intervenes with the mechanism in the gun that keeps the portal open.
      This makes it even more probable that an open portal is also reliant on the gun when it comes to energy.

      Gasoline has a higher energy density than sugar. 7 kilojoules is about 1.7 kilocalories, or about the energy released by burning (or metabolizing--it's basically the same) 430 mg of sugar or 360 mg of gasoline.
      Tom Scott doesn't explain how he arrived at this figure. 7 kJ is enough to produce a delta-vee of 1000 mph = 450 m/s for an object weighing a mere 69 grams. For an adult human, you would need around a thousand times the energy, 7 MJ = 1,700 kcal, which is far more than a sip of soda and in fact about the energy in an entire pound of sugar.
      Note that a car is much heavier than a person and moves much faster, yet manages to go many miles on just a few gallons of gasoline.

    • @Mourt.
      @Mourt. 7 лет назад +43

      Recently (December 2022) scientists working with a quantum computer did something I quite frankly don't understand, but it involves wormholes and the possibility of teleporting things as a not-just-fantasy-anymore concept.
      I'll see you here in 10 years when someone else comes by to announce that scientists have accidentally destroyed billion-dollar equipment with an apple traveling at 20kmph faster than anticipated.

      I've had an idea of a story just like this. The main character gets a really overpowered teleportation superpower that he can control much more precisely than in most stories. He can can choose which parts of space he'll teleport exactly. His entire body? Including his clothes or not? What about teleporting just the arm of an enemy to about two meters away? Or teleporting a butter knife to the interior of the bad guys brain? It'd be pretty badass.

    • @dynamicworlds1
      @dynamicworlds1 6 лет назад +67

      Depends on how quickly the air is moved. I assume the sound produced by teleporting is the air displacing/rushing to fill the void.
      As long as the effect isn't completely instant or you're moving the air from your target location, you're good.
      As to weaponizing it, I've seen a teleporter character carry around a set of metal darts explicitly for that purpose. Same character also took down a building a by putting glass pannels bisecting all the support pillars at angles.
      Even with heavy restrictions teleporter supers are insanely powerful.

      No, if you use worm holes that can't happen and if you use quantum mechanic that can't happen either.
