telporting question

yes, i think so

 

Yes, because you're teleporting within spacetime. In moving from point A to point B, even though you're teleporting, you're still limited by the speed of light.

 

My teleportation device is in the shop now I usually just hop in and turn it to whatever time I want to teleport to..however there was this one time I transported out of the space-time continuum...not a good trip

I'm high

 

It would be more feasible and probable to just scan an entire human, and then transfer the information to the location you wish to be in, and be reassembled using 3d printers.

...but then you have a clone, the original must be, dealt with. So I guess we will have to redefine murder at this point in human history. Probably wouldn't be a reality for a couple hundred years, considering the amount of information it would take to store everything that makes us, us. Unless we crack a quantum computer soon.

 

Depends on whether your using a quantum disintegrator/reintegrator to teleport by exploiting the quantum space time theory of quantum entanglement. Basically you will be broken into subatomic particles and you genetic sequence would be mapped then your particles would be shot through space time and reintergrated and ... I don't think any of this would work.

Anyway would it work if our genomes were mapped and a machine was built that could "print out" or genome in physical form, kind of like a clone, and then our consciousness could be transfered to this new body. That could be teleportation, right? I'm really high right now.

 

Remember that time is absolutely relative... at no point did Einstein define time as T when talking about relativity. Time is literally just the observable separation between events in the universe. And the idea that the universe is 3D+time doesn't hold out on the quantum scale.

Keep in mind that even the smallest unit of time is based on correlation of physical events. The Planck time unit is assumed to be the smallest unit of time that could be observed because it's the length of time it takes for light to travel the Planck length, or about 10 to the negative 20 times the diameter of a proton.

So time has more to do with space than with the idea of an absolute time.

The point of view which considers time to be a physical entity in which material changes occur should therefore be replaced with a view of time being merely the numerical order of material change. This view corresponds better to the physical world and has more explanatory power in describing immediate physical phenomena: gravity, electrostatic interaction, information transfer by EPR experiment are physical phenomena carried
directly by the space in which physical phenomena occur.

Plenty of "physical" objects in our universe just conveniently ignore relativist restrains, for example electron clouds. If they "moved" in a way that was consistent with a full relativistic universe when all motion had to be constrained by the speed of light, then Newtonian math would allow us to fully predict quantum level events.

According to the de Broglie hypothesis, every object in the universe is a wave, a situation which gives rise to the uncertainty phenomenon. The position of the particle is described by a wave function. This wave is affected by the four fundamental forces of the universe in a scaling order of magnitude according to mass (or the interaction between the four forces and a particles localized presence in the Higgs field).

So with true teleporting any particles with mass (all of them, really) would temporarily be removed from the influence of the Higgs field, which would mean that they're at that point now longer affected by the forces that cause their probability waves to collapse into a localized phenomena and could be forced to recollapse anywhere in the universe faster than a Planck moment.

Hope this makes sense/helps. I'm high as balls right now and trying to remember philosophy classes I took almost ten years ago.

edit: this is either the smartest thing I've said in days or a nonsensical rambling.

 

My question is this: if you were able to teleport, ie, have yourself ripped apart molecule by molecule, then reassembled at the other side, how would you know that the you on the other side, was the you that went in the first side. There might be a person that would think he was you, but would actually be only an exact copy of you. It wouldn't make any difference to the people who know you, but the first you may have simply stopped existing.

Furthermore, what about the soul? If it exists apart from the physical you, then how could a machine put that back together on the other side?

Then there's Steven King. Ever read the short story called "The Jaunt?"

Spoiler alert!!!!!


According to the story, the mind can not understand the timelessness aspect of teleportation, so everyone has to be put to sleep before they can go through the machine.
So, this one little kid on a family vacation wants to know what happens if he stays awake. He does it, then comes out on the others side with white hair, and no sanity.
All he can say when he gets to the other side is, "it's forever in there!"
