Do you die in a teleporter?
Theoretically there’s nothing wrong with this type of teleportation. You don’t really ‘die’, because an exact copy of you, the you that stepped into the first teleporter, is created at the other end. Same memories, same feelings, etc.
What would happen to your body if you teleported?
In theory, perfect teleportation would reconstruct your body exactly the same as you were upon being scanned, right down to the superpositions of the electrons orbiting your atoms. The information in your new body would be the same information that comprised your old one, not a copy.
Would it be possible for a human to teleport?
That means that everytime you’d teleport, you’d essentially be committing suicide, and getting reborn on the other end. Quantum entanglement is a finicky process, to say the least, and no one has ever transmitted this much information, so at this point, human teleportation would most likely be a pure suicide mission.
Would it take a brave soul to step into a teleport machine?
It would take a brave or possibly foolish soul to step into a teleport machine in England with the knowledge that they will be roasted alive by a giant laser while a copy of them steps out of a booth in America. This form of teleportation via disintegration does not seem to constitute continuity of existence from any practical perspective.
Is it possible to teleport with quantum entanglement?
Quantum entanglement is a finicky process, to say the least, and no one has ever transmitted this much information, so at this point, human teleportation would most likely be a pure suicide mission. But the fundamental technology is there, and will only continue to develop, so don’t give up hope yet.
What is dematerialisation teleportation and how does it work?
In other words, with dematerialisation teleportation, once all your atoms have been scanned, the information contained within them still needs to be sent to the teleportation destination and the fastest possible way of doing that will be limited by the speed of light. This is not too much of a problem on planet Earth.
