    So if teleportation means killing someone and then reconstructing him in another place, then this also means that its possible to resurrect humans/animals that have died? If their information has been saved of course.

    • @silverblaize
      @silverblaize 8 років тому +8

      This brings up more questions. Will the teleported person be the same, or someone else, but with the same brain, thoughts, as the other? If we had the ability to do this, would we be willing to die, in order to have an exact clone of ourselves live on with our memories?

    • @cloudxiii3240
      @cloudxiii3240 8 років тому

      memory is also stored within the information that is gathered by analysing the exact order the atoms of the teleported person are in. I mean everything you remember subconciously or conciously is ''saved'' in synapses of a special kind on a special places connected to special synapses around it

    • @meatpopsicle1215
      @meatpopsicle1215 8 років тому

      Its similar to cloning and 3d printing. Yes we could but that poses the question "where does consciousness actually reside and is there a soul". No real way to test that beyond this. Clones have a seperate consciousness so i would think the new constructed you would also. Science would probably say that consciousness resides in the memory which could be constructed in exact replica of the original and possibley have both of you conscious at the exact same lvl but as one would die before the other was constructed then it would be no problem. Either way, scary stuff and it seems like it would be an experience to go through.

  • @KaoticSoulz
    @KaoticSoulz 10 років тому +51

    Yeah... I wouldn't teleport. That "Dying in the middle" part and being reconstructed is... You don't live again. You die, your consciousness dies, then a perfect copy of you saunters away somewhere else. (Am I the only one who thought Doctor Who when they thought of that?)

      "you" are the current brain activity going on at the place and time: here and now. You are always "dying", you just have memories of a time not very long ago so it seems you have been here the whole time. A reconstruction would "feel" as if "you" right now suddenly appeared somewhere else some when else while in the middle of reading this with no explanation, everyone is "I", the memories hold a somewhat coherent flow to allow this misinterpretation of themselves.

      @isaacschwartz1257 8 років тому +2

      If by easier you mean you wouldn't die then yes. But wormholes are waaaaay harder to do than entanglement. We were able to teleport single particles back in the 90's but a wormhole would take so much energy we would essentially be technological gods by the time it became practical.

      @avmf8 10 років тому +5

      @avmf8 10 років тому +2

      *****
      Actually I have seen even scientists say that teleportation would be your technical death. Also I dont think the copy would be as good. I would think every time this cop goes through the teleporter the copy would be more and more degraded every time.
      Because think about it with say a VHS if you make a copy of a copy there is a degradation in picture and sound quality. I think eventually no one is going to like what comes out of that teleporter.

    teleportation will kill you and you wont be brought back to life there will just be an identical clone of you. thats why i think warping time and space would be a better option for teleporation if it ever proves to be possible.

  • @MaharajanchaMaawla

    • @SlimeMasterNate
      @SlimeMasterNate 8 років тому +4

      a long way, with a living thing you need to reanimate it, plus in bacteria (a germ is a harmful bacteria so I would highly doubt they would use one) there are extremely complex molecules in it and teleporting even a simple molecule (H2O, H2, O2, CO2, ect.) has never been done (as far as I know). All of that considered the first step was teleporting light (photon), next an atom (which was the cesium atom which is relatively complex). The next step would be a simple molecule (like listed before), then increase in complexity till you get to molecules like proteins, after that you want to send viruses (not exactly life but close enough). After being able to teleport viruses, the simplest single cell organism will be next, than in crease in complexity, after that you would want to teleport small and simple multi-cellular organisms and increase in complexity till you reach humans, after that you will reach the desired point of the technology that you wish.

If i transform myself to data and then make it travel very very long distances and resurrect there, it will resurrect me as the state i was in before i transformed myself to data. IF the data had travelled say a distance that took it 500 years to reach. I would then be resurrected in the future. But then i wouldn't be on earth. probably.

    In a way that was the point I was trying to make. That even if our bodies are destroyed during teleportation and rebuilt with all new atoms and energy, as long as our memories and personality are the same then we are still the same person. So is it so bad if our bodies are rebuilt after teleportation? I mean it would really suck if it was super painful but if it was painless, who could tell the difference between the person at the start and at the end.

Isn't teleportation just like sci fi cloning (atom by atom rather than DNA cloning), but destroying the original?

    • @backonlazer791
      @backonlazer791 10 років тому +3

      I was thinking exactly the same thing. Actually, I have been pondering this problem for years. Basically what could happen, is that you die as every particle in your body is teleported and reassembled. Even though the final product would have the same memories and would look and act the same, it might be that the old you's thought has been cut off. Basically, you would never see the destination in which the new you is. You are dead, and the new you takes over. The scary part is that no one could tell the difference, and the new you doesn't know that the old you is dead.

    • @darjluke
      @darjluke 10 років тому +1

      Im not trying to start a religious argument here so please don't take it that way. But that's assuming you have a soul. If we are just a bunch of cells working together and the illusion of a conscious is just a biproduct. Then wouldn't it still be the same you. Instead of replacing the car piece by piece "cells" but instead disassemble it and the reassemble it in another garage. wouldn't it be the same? still drive, sound, smell, and consume fuel the same "conscious"?

    This brings up a bigger question about what makes you...you. If your body is destroyed and rebuilt but you maintained your continuousness and memories, are you the same person? If you replace most your internal organs from an accident with donated organs, are you still you? what if they also had to reconstruct you with surgery? I think if the body is destroyed but the stuff that really makes you unique remains, like your mind and memories. Then does it matter if the original body is destroyed?

  • @Un1234l
    @Un1234l 11 років тому +3

    I'm thinking... if you become digitized, you'd need a medium to get transported through. I'm assuming this material will be identical to what we currently use to transfer our "digital" signals.
    What happens if that cable is cut while you were being teleported, and the exposed wire connects into a conductive material?

    • @BruceVieiraLopes_is_awesome
      @BruceVieiraLopes_is_awesome 10 років тому

      Natually there would be a backup in case the transfer happens to fail. And when teleporting information, there are no cables connecting the two ends. They just encode your ''atomic data'', and faster than light, or rather, instantly, the information ''gets'' to the end point where the information. Using that data to reasemble on the end point.
      In a hipothetical world where teleportation uses wires to transfer data, that exposed wire would lose some of the information, and the conductive material would simply receive a shock, possibly ionising the material, abit. Thought it also wouldn't make sense to transport data that way, it would be too slow.

    • @Un1234l
      @Un1234l 10 років тому

      Bruce Vieira Lopes Now, I don't understand the method of teleportation that you mentioned. Are you saying this is possible, that there is evidence proving a wireless offering for teleportation? Or is it simply a semantics problem, where "teleportation" means quite literally that to you, whereas to me the definition is more loose in that I consider being digitized and having your digital make-up transported through a medium to be later reassembled to be teleportation.
      _it also wouldn't make sense to transport data that way, it would be too slow._
      True, my scenario was about using current technology standards; it was however, a thought experiment on its actual feasibility, not on its logistical feasibility. In an adjusted scenario, it is theoretically possible to send data through fibre optic cables at near-light speeds: assuming true teleportation isn't possible, transferring our digitized selves through fibre optic cables is the most realistic application of this technology, barring any unforeseen consequences.

    • @BruceVieiraLopes_is_awesome
      @BruceVieiraLopes_is_awesome 10 років тому

      Good point, but are you willing to extend a cable between planets? :p and trust it won't be broken by space debree? As for teleportation, because of moors law, technolog´'s power is doubling every two years, so we might be able to find diferent aproaches, though teleportation has always been inspired by the popular sci-fi show Start Treck, where teleportation is wireless, we might start discovering wormholes as alternatives to teleportation. The thing about life, is that are most of the time, manny solutions to a single problem. Surely venturing into unknown territory will always have unforseen consequences, but hey, that's the price to pay for such big leaps. Though, we can avoid them most of the time. When Government or money don't get involved that is.

      radio waves, bruh... or some other kind of waves. maybe light signals, it would be extremely complicated but it would be faster than cables connected between planets and solar system etc, how I trasnfer data to you right now would be the answer.

      All, I can say for sure is that the data transfer part is something our current technology is able, heck, we already use it in our homes, like Prochy said, radio waves! (Wi-fi, Phones, etc ) About your question Un1234l , I heard that we have the tech to teleport an atom using a field in science ( in Phisics) called quantum phishics, where they talk about a process called quantum entanglement, in witch two particles get entangled (paired with one another), and then, you can change the property of one, and the other changes instantly (not at the speed of light, instantly!), much of how this works is up to the people of the field, but think about the posibilities! We could further blur the line of science fiction :)
      Most popular project right now I believe is Quantum Computing, a new type of computer.

    From what I understand, and I don't know everything, it is a copy of you that will become aware at the other end when the process is complete. You would, depending on the theoretical technique, either still be here or be destroyed by the process. It would continue on thinking it is you as it has all your memories and experiences up to the point of scanning. So the you here would cease to exist and the copy elsewhere would come into existence. Hope that helped.

    I've thought about this for a while and it is as he says, you would die as the teleportation took place. When "you" arrived at the end location, "you" would feel as you, only it would be a copy - a perfect copy, perhaps, but a disassembled and reassembled copy. All sorts of philosophical question arise from this, as your conscience would be destroyed and rebuilt, leaving the end result never knowing if the initial self that went into the machine is who he remained at the end.

    All we would do is just create a clone, which is fine for objects but not for a living being!

    If teleportation worked on a human, all it would do is create a physical state of them.

  • @razgrizinferno
    @razgrizinferno 11 років тому

    If you were to teleport, you'd be dead. The person coming out the other end would be a clone of you, with all of your memories, who even remembers walking into the teleporter in the first place. No one would ever know you were gone, and no one could prove that the new person coming out the other end wasn't you. Your clone would think teleportation works fine, use another teleporter later, and be killed / replaced just like you were.
    In other words, teleportation is terrifying.

    well, depends on your what you mean by "time travel". Time travel is possible (and has happened, specifically to astronauts) in the way of slowing down your relative time to be "shot" into the future. Basically the whole thing about the faster you physically travel, the slower time moves for you compared to everything else. It is possible to age 1 year while everything else ages by 10 years, essentially making you travel forward in time.

    Do we consider the consciousness to be belonging to a physical entity and hence destroyed or merely data which is preserved during teleportation?

There are a lot less percentage of people with either a soft personality, and even more-so an intermediate personality. My mom always said that if this world was run by people with an intermediate personality, we would have already have founded teleportation. Not because intermediates are smarter, but because they think much differently. Too bad I'm common!

  • @R0DSTER
    @R0DSTER 9 років тому

    thing is though, once you teleport something (destroy a unique arrangement of atoms, i.e. a human, object etc), you will then be able clone that thing as many times a you want (without the need to destroy anymore). meaning that once you teleport for the first time, when "teleporting" again, they'd be no reason to destroy the original (apart from inability to transfer later memories). yes, this will mean no "after memories" will be included created after the first teleportation but it also means infinite "yous" at the age of 21 😊. so we'd achieve, as well as cloning; immortality, the fountain of youth and...being able to live alternate lives (well technically), as we would need to find a way to merge the new memories of a later you into the earlier copy for the "real/current you" to be able to enjoy it. now that's a lot more than just mere teleportation right there, all achieved with one breakthrough! funny how the side-gains seem vastly more important (at least to me) and yet get no mention when this topic gets discussed haha

    The problem with teleportation is that once you "die", you're not brought back. A duplicate is created from the digitized information your original body provided as it was deconstructed. Theoretically, your duplicate would be assembled and believe that it was you, however, you yourself would be gone. So every time you teleport, you are gone forever and a clone thinks it's you.

The spontaneous absorption and emission of light is forming a blank canvas that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual within our own ref-frame! Time is an emergent property with the future coming into existence photon by photon relative to the actions of the atoms.

    If teleportation were possible then regulations would without doubt be placed on it.

Besides that in order to assemble something with mass you must have mass to assemble it from. It would require large amounts of raw materials in very specific quantities to digitally clone someone like you suggest.

    No because obviously some of your memories or even body parts may get lost in the transfer.

    The personality would be the same, it would be a clone, it's the same as cloning someone, then copying the memories over to the new person, the personality would be the same, but from the point where the implanted memories end would be where the clone and the original cease to be the same, their divergent experiences would make them distinct individuals (twins). With teleportation the original is killed, but to the observer the copy is indistinguishable from the original in EVERY human way.

The fax COPY has all the data (that can be another argument regarding imperfections of the copy every time it's resent and the degradation of a copy of a copy)... but it's still just a copy of the information rather than the actual original document.

    about teleportation. have anyone thought about what happend if your recorded the self resonace frequency of a atom in one place then record the self resonace frequecny of another atom in another place and then swap the resonace frequencies, would the two atoms swap place by moving in opposite directions or would they transform into opposite atoms or would they get destroyed or would they heat up or would they explode or would they simply disappear? its a question you can ask yourself if you tried to tranlocate two atoms by swapping their self resonance frequencies by sounds. if atoms have a self resonace frequency of sound, how do we know they are not made of sound? what if sounds is able to move trough vaccum but you cant hear it because it is not able to reintegrate in distant object because the frequecies becomes canceled out or absorbd? its strage that atoms could have a self resonance frequency in the first place if the creation of the atom was unrelated to sound. not that i can prove any of this, but it had been cool if we could use a method like this to experiment with as this method require some complex equipement as you have to record the wave and use microphones to transfer the information between the two sources.
