Machine Teleportation.

[Chaosolous]

They invent a machine that can teleport people.

Would you use it?

[salamander]

no, because the teleportation machine kills you and spits out a cloned copy of you on the other end

[Out Of Bubblegum]

If you do use it then "you" will die and a copy of you will be made that carries on. Can a teleporter ever transfer a soul? Or is that gone the first time you use one?

[Bjørn]

Be careful that a fly doesn't follow you into the teleporter and merge with you

[Kobs]

If it worked why not. I figure in a not so distant future it will probably replace airplanes

^^ This reason is why I choose no.

[Xero_Daxter]

If they can safely transport every single atom of me to the other side then why not? Pray the machine doesn't break mid-transport.

Sadly this is the way it would work, and that is why I also say no

If I could teleport and retain my form whilst instantaneously passing through space and time and not violate physics...that would be nice. But, physics says it doesn't conserve energy if you teleport an object...because you have to recreate the object, and that's the one to teleport "into", the original has to be destroyed for physics to allow it.

Which is...nah I'm good. I don't think my existence can be obliterated and then remade somewhere else and I'll be like "ah...alright so that wasn't too bad, a bit of turbulence but overall a nice teleport"

Nah anyone who experiences something like that would likely go "wtf just happened??"

I know I would

[Hobbit XIII]

Would people risk being in a bubble of transportation through anti matter .
OR
Would they trust more to atom by atom / cell by cell travel through real space.

I don't think someone's awareness would return to them

It would be a clone of them that isn't them technically because that person was just atomized in order to teleport.

Too far of a distance and too jarring. The brain can have an out of body experience and sort of see the body in third person as some kind of hallucination, but I don't think it has the capacity to do a hallucination of being light years in distance out of body

*edit: just realized they wouldn't have any time to have that hallucination due to the teleportstion process

Yea I think it would just make a clone. I would never teleport in a machine. If I could snap my fingers and somehow do it myself and not violate physics it would be cool

Transportation will never happen, the body is just too complex a piece of kit with all its moving parts, its chemical make up to expect it to be put back all together as perfectly as it left.

[Chimaera]

Just invent a better teleporter that doesn't kill you it's not hard

[Chimaera]

But yes I would use it anywhere is better than here

You never know. Many have said things will never be possible, including going to the moon and such

And wasn't there some famous(?) guy in England that in the late 1800s claimed something like 'humanity has invented everything possible now, so we may as well stop investing in science', or something similar?

Someone else might know who this was better than me...

[Reddari]

I suppose I kind of am.

A mix of sensory deprivation tank, medical pod and frequency modulator.
Its called immersion pod.

The sci-fi show Dark Matter showed a version of it. They called it Transfer Transit Pod.

Transfer Transit Pod

The cloning process uses a transit pod, that the person goes into and the machine copies their DNA and maps their brain. The data is then transferred to destination pod where a clone is created. Clones last 72 hours before their memories are transferred back to the person via subspace, and the clone goes through biomass recycling. However, if the clone is killed first, the memories aren't able to be transferred.

There is a rule of usage of a half an hour between trips, as the sudden repeated usage of the pod could cause damage to the cerebral cortex.

Other potential issues were: strokes, heart attacks, and aneurysms. These incidents are supposedly few, and there isn't any cause links back to the technology.

The real life version of this technology does not have the limitations. It can use an existing living body as target address - whats needed are the genetic codes of the target or even better - the exact frequency harmonics of the target. It mimics how consciousness is transferred by natural means and how reincarnations are manipulated with. All memories are recorded so those always remain accessible too in the real world. The real life version also capable of being used for a human lifetime (duh). However passage of time between the 2 bodies does not necessarily correlate. The target body may experience 100 years while the original only stepped into the pod 5 minutes ago.

why would I need to?
