Do you think that teleportation devices could ever be real? While they would be convenient as an alternative to elevators for high-rise buildings, I dont know if the human body (or heck, any living thing) could handle it.

Once we manage to create the Heisenberg Compensators the rest should be simple.

Yes they will but that’s as much as I can say right now..I’ve probably said too much.

Teleporters? pfff you earthlings and your primitive 21st century technological hopes.

im gonna be the hipster pos that chooses to drive instead of “porting” cause “it just makes the journey seem more real man”.

As far as I know the closest science has gotten is scanning an item, destroying it, and simultaneously 3D printing it in the remote location it's being 'teleported' to.
Which poses an interesting question if human teleportation technology ever works on the same principle: are you still you, if you're a 3D printed copy of you?

can we have hologram tech first?
mind you transporter tech would lead to food replicator tech as it would be similar in principle

IMO the closest thing to teleportation we will get is a clone with 1:1 memory transfer, summarily killing the previous copy and continuing the consciousness in the next.
They would have to perfect cloning before that, and have a reason to use teleportation over other forms of travel even before that.

I haven't seen that, but a similar question has arisen in Dr Who with alternate universe versions of people. I still say the real Amy died in Apalapucia. |

Yeah, in Star Trek: TNG there's an episode where a decade or so before the episode picks up transporter glitch duplicates Riker during a rescue missions one Riker appears in the transporter room, the other rematerialises on the planet and remains stranded. It then deals with the existential question of which one, if either, is the "real" Riker, as their very different lives over the prior decade led to very different people, despite being genetically identical. |

Waited about fifteen minutes for a Wal-Mart manager to scan the price of a discount piece of clothing today.
Not optimistic about the people manning the teleporters.

The question it raises sounds very similar, I'll have to find it and watch it - I love conundrums like this. (And since I'm not a Trekkie, presumably I won't sob through half the episode like I did with Doctor Who...) |

Borderlands doesn't really go into big details on it but the whole digistructing back after you die is basically that question of when u die and digistruct back is it really you or just a copy.
of course in that game it is way too perfect a version to ever expect in real life...coming back exactly as u died with no issues to memory or any other issue that would arise from being a digital copy.

There was a similar episode in the original series called "The Enemy Within" where a transporter incident created two Kirks: a good, contemplative but passive Kirk and an evil, instinctual, yet decisive one.
