Did someone say Teleport? They are up to photons and atoms according to Wiki. I've read about photons in the past. I thought I posted about it once here, but could not find it quickly.While this would be my favorite technological advance, I don't think this one is in the realm of possibility.
As explained in a television show I watched (a Discovery show, I think...)
What you would really be building is a machine that can construct things on a molecular level from piles of loose molecules a replicator.
So you would end up with a duplicate copy of yourself on the other end, not the same individual. Are memories really existant in molecular structure? If so, I guess it would have the same memories instead of being a like a computer with no software loaded.
But then you get into spiritual matters: the soul isn't physical at all, is it? (Assuming it exists) So you get a soul-less creature with YOUR memories on the other end.
A molecular deconstructor on THIS end would just make you cease to exist and replace you with a soul-less copy on THAT end.
I DO see a use for this machine, however: if the duplicates have the same memory including neuromuscular training I sure would to make a couple copies of myself. I would enter them into vale tudo and UFC matches to see how I would do
By the way ... there is a movie released last year that kind of deals with this idea, but I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it. To name the movie would spoil the movie.
Who cares about spirit? This would absolutely revolutionize the transport industry. Goodbye UPS and Fedex!
