As our cells constantly being replaced by a new set of cells in the aging process. So if we are constantly being changed and replaced, then we are never the "same" to begin with. The same person would only refer in this context to the interaction between local atoms and base forces, and since even our atoms are constantly shifting in location and vibration, they are never truly next to each other anyways
But if one were to travel back in time, that would never happened because anything before the time the person grabbed hold of the machine, he never had it then, so it would be impossible to travel in any way back to the past, no?
I could start on a scientific nerdy talk, but i just can't. must....resist the temptati- Okay the matter itself might not destroyed at all but the space around the matter moved to the point where it meets it's destination. if that's possible *starts to bite binger* aaaahh i did it again.
Subjectively, there is no real evidence consciousness can ever really be destroyed because the only one we can percieve is our own and although it seems to have greatest density of detail at the spacetime locus of our body where we have our sensory receptors it's also inclusive of everything else we observe, recall, or imagine existing in all possible universes,
@Texasjim2007 so basically you've said we get older every moment. Our consciousness still hasn't been understood properly - all scientists have said is its got some stuff to do with oxygen going to our blood then brain. The there's a theory at the end which in some time will be proved incomplete/completely wrong. Note: if your comment is longer than the character limit, this isn't the place to discuss it.
About all we know about consciousness is it seems to have a relationship to the flooding of oxygen molecules in our bloodstream into our brains where we store memories of previously existing. It may be that the only thing you need to be conscious is actually the electrons of oxygen atoms traveling in a circle at relativistic speeds to which memories get attached.
Look at this way.... is the person who wakes up in the morning the same person as the person who went to sleep the night before? Yes and no depending on how you define the word "same". There are numerous differences between who you are now and who you were last night in terms of age and biochemical state especially if you were drinking but there is still a sufficient degree of continuity for you to be held legallly responsible for what the person in your body did last night drunk, let's note.
There's a flaw in Sheldon's argument! He is making the (admittedly intuitive) assumption that consciousness somehow cannot be described as a configuration of quantum states. But intuition is almost always wrong when it comes to describing nature!
If every bit of information about an object could be gathered and reproduced to create another object, there would be, by definition, no measurable difference between the original and the copy. The two would be equivalent in every way.
He is correct in stating that the "original" must be destroyed in order to determine its exact quantum state; however, since it is exactly reproduced at another location with no change to the quantum state, the result would be the "original" appearing at the new location with no knowledge of the intermediate process of getting there. The original is no more "destroyed" and "recreated" than you are "destroyed" and "recreated" with each instant in time.
Put yet another way, in transmitting the information about the physical arrangement and quantum states of the matter comprising you, you'd also be transmitting the information required to describe how to give rise to your particular conscious awareness.
@Grengalis ...(continued) Although a case could be made on the contrary (in terms of degree of movement and time) based on Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, but the Planck scale is immeasurable anyways.
@Grengalis: Actually, in regards to Sheldon's argument, you're wrong. The current technology regarding teleportation, which he's referring to, is based on quantum entanglement. Essentially, two subatomic particles can become "paired," and when the quantum spin of one particle is switched, it is quantitatively observed to cause an identical and instantaneous response by the paired particle. The two are effectively "twins" and move together at the exact same time and to the exact same degrees
@LesWooten The most interesting prospect is communication. If we settled across the galaxy we could instantly communicate with each other trough the bounds of distance. With simply one pair for each colony with the second part of the pair on earth one would connect all the worlds, given enough funds, it would be possible to pair enough particles that one would have a "internet" spanning the entire human world, a thing not even conceived in science fiction. We have entered the future.
Leonard is such a fucking a dick, he just never shuts up about how sheldon is annoying or nerdy, and he spouts all that shit yet look at him, he's just as bad if not worse with his douchebaggotery. God, I just want to punch him the face.
But following Shedon's logic, only quantum materials would teleportable, which means that if a person does teleports, it's body is re-assembled at the end, but his mind is destroyed.The new person would therefore not be able to use it's memory nor talk nor comprehend any language, not even the one he was speaking before the process.Therefore, the whole evolution of the brain must be done again.
My point is: when you teleport, you end up like a newborn baby, but with a grown body.
@TheMomoxmox that is you are assuming mind is something non-physical, however, that may not be the case since when you remember something, new neural nodes were created therefore physical.
@TheMomoxmox Why would that be the case? You would have all the same neural connections that had been developed over the course of your lifetime which allow for those abilities and encode that information.
@BrianLee2007 Yes, but as I said, my hypothesis is based on what Sheldon just said. It is possible I'm wrong, it's possible I'm right, who gives a damn anyway?
@TheMomoxmox that's what I always thought, but does one mind work? We all think because we of our neurons in the brain. But what if the "new" person had the brain waves that was identical to the thoughts of the original?
@t3hazndud3 Yeah I wasn't sure about that, that's why I wrote (Following Sheldon's logic) at the beginning. I'm sure the person would have the same brain, because it IS made of matter, but things like knowledge and memories...Would they persist? Personally I think not. I might be wrong, but unless someone proves me wrong, I'm gonna stick with that.
@TheMomoxmox yes but the way the mind retrieves old data has to have some kind of physical storage. we cant learn,memorize, and process information without having a way to be able to retrieve it. if a person is truly identical that memory storage system, having been physical storage, would be able to have been transferred, correct?
@TheMomoxmox "only quantum materials" What. What else is there except quantum materials? Our minds are made through the structure of our brains, you know.
@TheMomoxmox Why, why can't they just replicate the mind exactly as it was before? Every atom in the same place, much like the body, wouldn't that make it exactly the same with the same memories?
@TheMomoxmox So you think the brain would be exactly the same, apart from the memories because they're not physical? I disagree and I think they are, what is there but the physical? I don't believe in the soul.
@TheMomoxmox "Following Sheldon's logic" I don't see him anywhere in the shown video saying that brain cells and atoms cannot be transferred through the teleportation process, but your right for the most part, to be able to transfer something as delicate as that is almost impossible, for if there was to be one little mishap anywhere, you could easily but disabled or even die. So, if you went through time and space by Sheldon's theory it is nearly impossible due to the stated facts.
@TheMomoxmox technically no if you consider the mind as chemical compounds and electrical signals in the brain causing the organism to know, doubt, fear something, love, remember, etc. If you teleport perfectly an human, every atoms and also molecules would be at the same place in the organism and it probably wont affect the consciousness of the organism and destroy his mind.
You'd have to break the individual down to particles for transmission and have him reassemble in another different location. It wouldn't be a matter of destroying the individual but breaking down their building blocks and reconstructing them in a new location.
Well there are in fact numerous ways in which this can be looked at. Before figuring out how to teleport an individual from one place to another, the first thing that needs to be understood is what laws are actually present in the Universe. For example, if u take string theory as a valid explanation as to why things behave the way they do, than theoretically making the strings which encompass your whole self vibrate at a different frequency and be transferred to a different location would work.
shit im a nerd for any sci-fi conversation but i cant even understand this part, if u teleport u just teleport, wow teleport isnt even a word according to my spell check -.- anyway , how wuld teleporting one kill the original and copy a new one ? your literally just going inside a portal, jumping out of another one , thus calling it a teleporter, i define it as a time kind of thing, your literally just stepping into a hole that leads to another hole in a different area of the world.
It would be possible. If you copy every little thing down to the quarks, the human would remember everything up to the spot where he was teleported. The brain is following normal laws of physics, and so if every little thing is transfered to the new guy, he thinks, knows etc. the same things.
I just want to say the best thing about The Big Bang Theory is that it DOESN'T air on NBC. If it did, the jerks at that company would be taking all videos (of the show) off Youtube left and right, so I'm glad they (NBC) have no control over this funny sitcom. Good job, CBS! (8^)
Also if you were to transport any type of matter, particle or otherwise, instantaneously into another spot there would be a mini explosion. The particles in area where you transmit new Sheldon would be displacing the original particles at a fast enough rate to cause an explosion that would possibly hurt the people nearby. Yes i think about this way to much :P
4 words. Gordon Freeman's Ph.D Thesis. Although fictional, if it were real, Sheldon might be proven wrong. OOH. TAKE THAT SHELDOR. THE HAS-BEEN CONQUEROR.
@italianchriswilko100 hes right but thats only talking about particle transportation. if we could invent mini wormholes we could have sheldon teleport as much as he pleased.
@Dispotional i don't speak english as my first language, u fucking dick head. the whole world is not amerikan, and i u talk any more shit about my fucking spelling, im gonna check how good u write in norwegian.
@Dispotional shure ur not american u canadian dumb ass, but ur still english speaking. and don't give me that bullshit about quebeck. and if i wrote that shit wrong. well, no one cares. and if u make one more smart ass reply, i will ansver in my mother tungue and check out who's got the best spelling
@janisakironmaiden Well, the difference between you speaking in your native tongue to me is that I cannot understand it. Furthermore, I would like to mention English is not my native language either. So, I could do the same to you, and see "who's got the best spelling."
@Dispotional you know why I love grammar trolls? They are people who think they are so smart and shit of the such yet they waste their time on people on YouTube who don't give a shit when they don't use proper grammar.
-your memories? If it were an entirely new you then it would be like being reborn with no memories of your past life and none of the skills you had before hand. To sum it up, it would suck.
Then there would be the problem of malfunctioning. Various limbs, organs, or anythign could be left out. Then, considering the technology could be built, I imagine it would be in a time when the world depended on electricity even more than now, and with all that drainage if there were to be a blackout whilst you were traveling you'd be lost in the airwaves moving your body cells to the other location, and even if the power came back on, you might never be able to go on. And would you even have -
I understand what he means. You are destroyed and a new you with exactly the same memories and bio pattern etc is created in another location. But YOU would be dead.
@Madmoiselle95 They are nerds and professors. They don't know how to cook. Its a common stereotype being displayed here within this show. Although sometimes you see them in episodes cooking eggs or waffles for breakfast.
Plus they have lots of money. In one episode it was said that Sheldon had un-cashed paychecks in his desk. Physics professors make good money. Or at least they do. xD
This isn’t teleportation though, it is matter reproduction. Too often used in sci-fi fiction by uneducated or lazy writers. Actual teleportation would be achieved by the manipulation of space-time. Instead of moving forward or backward through time you simply jump to another location within the same “moment.” In effect teleportation is time travel sideways.
@jnthn1984 It's not a matter of a lack of education nor laziness; the simple fact of the matter is that in order to move between two points simultaneously without travelling faster than light, you need to use a wormhole- A Schwarzschild wormhole, to be precise. And you can't hold those open without the use of exotic matter.
Reconstruction/matter reproduction (though I would argue the validity of this term) is much more viable, though both are unrealistic.
@BarbaricViking616 Mhmm sure, about two years before I made that comment? I had this insatiable thirst for knowledge about physics and such a while ago and did a ton of research, not just through wikipedia but books, etc.
The reason I said "Feel free to correct me" is because my knowledge on the matter was rusty at best. I mean, two years is a long time to forget things.
@jnthn1984 There is actually an episode of "The Outer Limits" called "Think Like a Dinosaur" that actually visits this particular avenue of science regarding matter duplication and a building of an individual at a new location instead of the actual teleportation thing. (just had to add teleportation to my computers dictionary.. lazy dictionary..)
@jnthn1984 I think the point is that the general consensus is that matter reproduction would be easier than actual manipulation of space time yet still have the same effect. It's a bit rich of you to call these sci-fi writers uneducated!
Hmm... Never thought about it that way... My problem with teleportation is that matter would be broken down and instantaniously put into it's new position. But that would be impossible unless it was done in a vaccum, or the thing you're teleporting is the size of an atom. Wherever you'd teleport to, there would always be oxygen or other gasses, and your matter would have to form around it.
@Asgard314: Okay, this is fun I'll play. You could have two transporter beams operating at the same (relative) time. You'd beam out the proper quantity of matter from the place the person or object is to reappear. Then as that mass is transported out, the new mass replaces it.
@MrNoobtuber11: Assuming that mind is materially reducable. That is supposing the mind is simply an illusion generated by brain neurology. In effect, such transporters would be a kind of quantum cloning. The product produced by the beam going out would be more like the Spock on the Genesis planet rather then the original person. I don't think the our mind is identical w/ neural system that informs it & transmits its will to the body. That is a metaphysical perspective, I know.
Y'know,if Jim Parsons was ever snatched up for a role as a Vulcan in a "Star Trek" production,the makeup people wouldn't need to do much work on his ears....
I read this in a book once, I forget which one, but it goes into this in great detail. I think there is also a fiction book or movie I forget which where the original isnt destroyed and a patrol is sent out to kill the original because it is not good to have two copies at the same time. Basically matter at the destination is not destroyed it is transformed, they use a fuel source to extract mater so no mater is created or destroyed. Just changed.
The problem is we can't hope to understand technology in the future. If we showed an ancient greek a computer he couldn't tell us how it worked. In the future we could perhaps solve this problem but we now can't hope to understand it.
Couldn't you keep both copies making 2 of the person. This would be an effective way to create an army, as the soldiers would have all of the copys combat training. In Star Wars the idead of creating a clone army was ridiculus because it's so expensive to clone people. But this would be cheap and effiecent.
@GonnaBeALongLongTime The first one would be gone in order to create the second and cloning people as of now would involve birth and for some reason it's illegal
@GonnaBeALongLongTime for the teleportation or the cloning? With teleportation there basically is no copy because there's only one at a time, no 2 ways about it. With the cloning a clone is just a normal person that's identical to a parent because it only has 1 parent so each one would have to gestate and be given birth to. at 9 months per birth and at least 16 years before they could become a soldier and a the woman giving birth only carries 1 at a time you can't get an army
@BlackAssassinBlade With teleportation it would no longer be teleportation but you could disintegrate the old Sheldon then create multiple Sheldons from the data you recieved. Rather than transport Sheldon you could recreate Sheldon. I know you can't get an army from cloning thats the problem with Star Wars.
@GonnaBeALongLongTime Ah, I see what you mean but this would require altering the amount of matter that exists which is why teleportation wouldn't work, because you'd have to delete some matter from existence andd then make some other matter appear which is impossible
The writers must not be that smart if they would have Sheldon say that, its called called a space/time gap and its the only logical way one could travel faster than the speed of light and if man ever has the technology we as a species could jump instantaneously to where ever or possibly when ever in the universe.. aha sorry yall im high!
@NiggaWiddaAttitude Yeah but the current idea of teleportation that they're treating as plausible is the one he's saying, thay're working on it for teleporting objects but I don't think they ever will
Identity is what we define it to be. Even the identity we experience.
Just saying: without settling on what 'you' exactly means, it is impossible to say what would happen to 'you' when teleported and irrelevant to discuss quantum mechanics.
Are 'you' the same 'you' as yesterday? By what definition?
Try answering this first: where does the waterfall go if the water stops flowing?
If that doesn't hurt your brain enough, look up 'ship of Theseus'. Then start thinking about teleportation again.
If you could invent a device that identified the quantum state of matter, such as Sheldon's transporter concept, and inserted a full duplication of all necessary materials and energies required for that quantum state, you could use that same assembly technique to recreate the individual item in question without having to disassemble the original.
what about Nightcrawler? He goes into a pocket dimension and returns to our dimension in a different place having spent so little time in the other dimension (less than a second.
@SillyNerdify thats not teleportation ...thats just travelling throo dimensions
teleportations means your entire body would need te be destroyed into pure energy (photons for example) and transported to another place then reassembled.
but this would mean u would never experience waking up from the process, the person who wakes up is a perfect clone, the real YOU is dead ....the new you isnt you anymore ^^
@sbwpolo14 Actually, thanks to at least one episode where someone is conscious of being in the teleporter beam (malfunction, they were stuck), in Star Trek at least, the originals survive.
@Jallorn but in "Second Chances," William Riker meets Thomas Riker, a clone from a teleporter malfunction. It was a perfect copy of him, complete with memories and sense of self. This suggests Sheldon's assertion of destruction and replication is capable of creating carbon copies to replace the destroyed people, since multiple Rikers were produced.
@sbwpolo14 Yes, I've seen that one. There's also one that creates an evil clone of Kirk. I attribute these to a malfunction, basically, in addition to moving the consciousness and whatever, it duplicates it. Or, there really is such a thing as a soul in Star Trek, and they can be harmlessly split, or a new soul is immediately provided for the new life, or whatever. In any case, I don't feel like typing everything I have to say on this topic, and it would take several posts, so I'm done.

@TheMomoxmox technically no if you consider the mind as chemical compounds and electrical signals in the brain causing the organism to know, doubt, fear something, love, remember, etc. If you teleport perfectly an human, every atoms and also molecules would be at the same place in the organism and it probably wont affect the consciousness of the organism and destroy his mind.

You'd have to break the individual down to particles for transmission and have him reassemble in another different location. It wouldn't be a matter of destroying the individual but breaking down their building blocks and reconstructing them in a new location.
Blackman1000ify 3 months ago
Well there are in fact numerous ways in which this can be looked at. Before figuring out how to teleport an individual from one place to another, the first thing that needs to be understood is what laws are actually present in the Universe. For example, if u take string theory as a valid explanation as to why things behave the way they do, than theoretically making the strings which encompass your whole self vibrate at a different frequency and be transferred to a different location would work.

It would be possible. If you copy every little thing down to the quarks, the human would remember everything up to the spot where he was teleported. The brain is following normal laws of physics, and so if every little thing is transfered to the new guy, he thinks, knows etc. the same things.

Also if you were to transport any type of matter, particle or otherwise, instantaneously into another spot there would be a mini explosion. The particles in area where you transmit new Sheldon would be displacing the original particles at a fast enough rate to cause an explosion that would possibly hurt the people nearby.

This isn’t teleportation though, it is matter reproduction. Too often used in sci-fi fiction by uneducated or lazy writers. Actual teleportation would be achieved by the manipulation of space-time. Instead of moving forward or backward through time you simply jump to another location within the same “moment.” In effect teleportation is time travel sideways.

americanu197 3 months ago
@jnthn1984 It's not a matter of a lack of education nor laziness; the simple fact of the matter is that in order to move between two points simultaneously without travelling faster than light, you need to use a wormhole- A Schwarzschild wormhole, to be precise. And you can't hold those open without the use of exotic matter.
Reconstruction/matter reproduction (though I would argue the validity of this term) is much more viable, though both are unrealistic.
Feel free to correct me, though.

Hmm... Never thought about it that way... My problem with teleportation is that matter would be broken down and instantaniously put into it's new position. But that would be impossible unless it was done in a vaccum, or the thing you're teleporting is the size of an atom. Wherever you'd teleport to, there would always be oxygen or other gasses, and your matter would have to form around it.

@Asgard314: Okay, this is fun I'll play. You could have two transporter beams operating at the same (relative) time. You'd beam out the proper quantity of matter from the place the person or object is to reappear. Then as that mass is transported out, the new mass replaces it.

@MrNoobtuber11: Assuming that mind is materially reducable. That is supposing the mind is simply an illusion generated by brain neurology. In effect, such transporters would be a kind of quantum cloning. The product produced by the beam going out would be more like the Spock on the Genesis planet rather then the original person. I don't think the our mind is identical w/ neural system that informs it & transmits its will to the body. That is a metaphysical perspective, I know.

I read this in a book once, I forget which one, but it goes into this in great detail. I think there is also a fiction book or movie I forget which where the original isnt destroyed and a patrol is sent out to kill the original because it is not good to have two copies at the same time. Basically matter at the destination is not destroyed it is transformed, they use a fuel source to extract mater so no mater is created or destroyed. Just changed.

Couldn't you keep both copies making 2 of the person. This would be an effective way to create an army, as the soldiers would have all of the copys combat training.

GonnaBeALongLongTime 6 months ago
@GonnaBeALongLongTime for the teleportation or the cloning? With teleportation there basically is no copy because there's only one at a time, no 2 ways about it. With the cloning a clone is just a normal person that's identical to a parent because it only has 1 parent so each one would have to gestate and be given birth to. at 9 months per birth and at least 16 years before they could become a soldier and a the woman giving birth only carries 1 at a time you can't get an army
BlackAssassinBlade 6 months ago
@BlackAssassinBlade With teleportation it would no longer be teleportation but you could disintegrate the old Sheldon then create multiple Sheldons from the data you recieved. Rather than transport Sheldon you could recreate Sheldon. I know you can't get an army from cloning thats the problem with Star Wars.
GonnaBeALongLongTime 6 months ago

Identity is what we define it to be. Even the identity we experience.
Just saying: without settling on what 'you' exactly means, it is impossible to say what would happen to 'you' when teleported and irrelevant to discuss quantum mechanics.
Are 'you' the same 'you' as yesterday? By what definition?
Try answering this first: where does the waterfall go if the water stops flowing?
If that doesn't hurt your brain enough, look up 'ship of Theseus'. Then start thinking about teleportation again.
dualinfinity88 7 months ago
Think about this.
If you could invent a device that identified the quantum state of matter, such as Sheldon's transporter concept, and inserted a full duplication of all necessary materials and energies required for that quantum state, you could use that same assembly technique to recreate the individual item in question without having to disassemble the original.
A transporter, could also be a cloning machine.

@Jallorn but in "Second Chances," William Riker meets Thomas Riker, a clone from a teleporter malfunction. It was a perfect copy of him, complete with memories and sense of self. This suggests Sheldon's assertion of destruction and replication is capable of creating carbon copies to replace the destroyed people, since multiple Rikers were produced.
but i could be wrong.

@sbwpolo14 Yes, I've seen that one. There's also one that creates an evil clone of Kirk. I attribute these to a malfunction, basically, in addition to moving the consciousness and whatever, it duplicates it. Or, there really is such a thing as a soul in Star Trek, and they can be harmlessly split, or a new soul is immediately provided for the new life, or whatever. In any case, I don't feel like typing everything I have to say on this topic, and it would take several posts, so I'm done.
