Machine Teleportation.

[Chaosolous]

They invent a machine that can teleport people.

Would you use it?

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

I have a graphic novel based on this very premise. The citizens don't realise they are being copied and murdered every time they teleport somewhere. 😱

Edit: it was from La Palma to Tenerife holy crap I'm bad at geography . I mean, it is off the coast of Africa though but I thought I wasn't being accurate enough

I think they've also done a teleportation from Earth to a satellite in orbit, although I could remember that wrong.

It might be those connected particles that are always in the same state no matter how far apart they are - even billions of light years - I'm confusing it with. Quantum physics? Not sure, but fascinating none the less

[PatRat]

That's called quantum entanglement.

Or as Einstein put it, "Spooky action at a distance ".

[Santa Klaus]

I would teleport all the humans to another planet then I and the Elves would inherit the Earth and spread Christmas cheer from The North Pole all the way to the South Pole.

[Hammer Of Evil]

i would seek to maintain such a magnificent machine.

You can't teleport, OP. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.

but it is still nice toy

think spaceship+AI bring teleporter to another planets and after you teleport people to this planets and it become easy mode to colonize planets, not forced to build big ship or very complicate ship to bring colonist to another planets

and of course you can teleport people to earth, so think using teleporter for trading between planets and solar system

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.

I always thought the low risk, semi plausible sci-fi has been an artificial clamp on how wild true teleportation could and should be.

I'd go a different route.

I'd freeze time for the whole universe, slice out two cubes to swap them with one another, while time is stopped.

Then all you have to do, is make sure all the vector forces are applied to the two substitute volumes correctly otherwise, as soon as you restart time, the objects in the swapped locations will fly/crash at unreasonable speeds like 100,000+ mph if we are talking about galaxy and + distance teleport.

I don't know how you move things in a universal state where, energy, force and mass are all 0, because time is also 0.

Super imposed universe, different dimension, fabrication of 2nd universe and do a bit of shuffling between them, like a deck of cards, then destroy the work universe as its no longer needed?

Might be some ethical issues with that particular method, every time you teleport you destroy an entire universe along with all life in it. Though if it is at 0 time, it isn't alive or dead, yet exists as an echo of the real thing.

Hmm.. ghost universes, sounds like great source material for some quality yarn spinning.

Then again, its probably why true instantaneous any distance/range teleportation is pretty much deity tier ability/knowledge. Perhaps it isn't necessary to have full dimension, just a pocket one, for the volumes being exchanged.

Heck, you could dissect a black hole with something like this, that would be a cool science experiment to see what happens at the atomic/quantum level at the center/densest part of a black hole, is it really different to super massive star?

Probably could put probes into hearts of stars and planets like this too, would be a massive boost in understanding how things actually work, as well as "seeing" what actually goes on down there, in real time.

Neat hack. I want one, just for the cool factor. Not sure I'd use it though. Power consumption would probably mean a lot of heat dumping going on. So not sold on the idea that a pocket remote basically makes my shorts hotter than the proto-universe.

You know any civilizations in dire need of astounding levels of thermal power, be happy to donate. Cos if you do...

*cough*

[Dracoco OwO]

So first off, how does it works? Are they deconstructing you then re-assembling all your molecules in another place, just what are the logistics of it? Are you just a copy or actually transferred over there in any capacity? What about your consciousness?

[OoOoOoooOOoOoorgle]

The first generation of tech always has some big problems that need to get ironed out.

One can imagine how dangerous those problems might be when it comes to teleportation...

So, nope. Not until at least gen 2.
