we need teleportation frankly

    No. Since it is impossible, any discussion on it is just speculation. You are saying it is a high tech suicide booth based on how it is portrayed in Trek…Which is fiction.

    Same with time travel.

      It’s not though, we’ve already managed to quantum teleport clusters of atoms. If managed on a larger scale, there can be no continuity between consciousness, therefore suicide booth.

      I get it, you are just one of those types that loves to argue without thinking. Thankfully lemmy doesn’t use reddit’s stupid blocking method so excising you from my internet forever is painless and entertaining.

        What if physicists find a way to bend space such that you’d be able to move instantly (through some sort of portal) between two extremely far places while staying at a normal speed?

        Just because quantum teleportation has “teleoprtation” in its name, doesn’t mean it’s the only possible form of it.

        Don’t blame others for arguing without thinking if you haven’t given it proper thought yourself.

          The gravity needed to even create small hypothetical spacetime bridges would spaghettify any normal matter passing through it.

          Just because quantum teleportation has “teleoprtation” in its name, doesn’t mean it’s the only possible form of it.

          It kind of does. Wormholes are not teleportation. ANY method that ‘moves’ atoms from one place to another falls under the ‘suicide booth’ category.

          if you haven’t given it proper thought yourself.

          You really have no fuckdamn idea how long I have been thinking about this exact subject.

            You have really strong opinions on this considering most of this is purely theoretical.

            AFAIK no wormholes were ever observed or created, and there are many theories on how they maybe created (artificially or naturally) and/or traversed.

            Also, any I think any reasonable person would say you teleported if he saw you going through a portal.

            We also don’t understand consciousness, so no one really knows what happens when you use a ‘suicide booth’ like you imagine. Maybe it’s even possible to just teleport your consciousness too.

            You really have no fuckdamn idea how long I have been thinking about this exact subject.

            Neither do you.

        See, that’s the problem with modern science reporting. People are so easily confused.

        No. We have never teleported atoms.

        We did the equivalent of a fax machine.

        We took an atoms current state, sent that information down traditional communication lines, and copied it’s state perfectly to another atom.

        They call it Quantum Teleportation, but it has nothing to do with Sci-Fi teleportation as most people think of it.

          Ok I have come to realize that lemmy is literally no better than reddit when it comes to people who are so arrogant in their ignorance.

          Imposing a quantum state on remote matter is the ONLY way teleportation will work. The ‘faxing’ is exactly what large scale teleportation would consist of for every particle state that composes the entity being transported.

          You don’t literally send the same particles, you use the particles at the destination to reassemble the original.

          Previously I thought it was just reddit that had gotten worse in the last 10 years but I’ve come to understand it’s just the internet in general.

          Sure as fuck wish I could go back to the internet before smartphones so all you fuckdamn idiots would stop wasting my time.
