  • That's a retarded idea....why would you go to all that effort to create a clone of you on the other side of the universe? It's not like it's you, just because it has your DNA does not mean it has your experience or knowledge or even memories for that matter.

    Here's a way of fixing that idea: Why not scan the human mind, recreate it as a software program, upload it, and then email the uploaded person?

    Then at least it's transferring memories and thoughts across the galaxy too.

  • to bad the "you" that is sent will be as dumb as well... a baby with no outside knowledge xD

  • Man, the prof. is super stoned. I love it!

  • LEGO! LEGO! LEGO! :D

  • Ugh transporting the mass that makes up a human being is NOT the same as emailing data representing his/her genome.

  • what episode is this from?

  • This is no different than "The Prestige (2006) ", or "The Sixth Day".

  • YES! It would be smarter to send a blueprint of "him".

    But then "He" wouldn't experience being there, and everyone on planet earth will still die. Didn't get how this could help us survive 2012.

  • @1m2a3r4c5u6s THats because 2012 is just a stoned theory that marked "Doomsday" Just to scare people the same with Aliens. Movies,Shirts,Games Etc Etc Just saying

  • I hope they make a sci-fi science on how we can travel through the center of the earth.

  • Dude... It'd be like youre invincible

  • science makes me horny

  • ....but can we get the space elevator first? I've been talking about it since I was 14!!!!

    (that was in 1994)

  • How about you create wormhole technology so I can go across the galaxy?! I don't want to send a clone of me. My last clone borrowed money from me and never repaid.

    Where's my 20 bucks, Leo?

  • DNA is good but we still don't know how thoughts are stored on a bio-electrical level.

  • @joninoj214 yes but, do you lose conciousness? is it just a copy of you, but not you?

    In the end, the original you would be dead, and all the opposing end would receive is a matter replication of you....

  • @nodrightnow That's right. It may end up that we reconstruct the person from the transporter, but they would be brain dead. No consciousness what so ever.

    If somehow the consciousness did make it, it wouldn't be the same person, but a copy. The real you would probably end up dead.

  • Send chuck norris Dna to Aliens !

  • "It's an outrageous idea! I love it!"

  • Just digitize consciousness and beam the data to an 'empty' clone on another planet. Of course, that clone would have to be in a facility built by the original settlers - who would have got there using the method described in this video :)

    By then we will have cracked hyperspace communications so travel between other solar systems will be near instantaneous - as long as they have receiver stations on the destination planet.

    Waking up in another body will be weird, though.

  • mon Dieu!

  • Okay, so now you have cloned human babies on a distant planet. Who is going to raise them? The swarm bots?

    And even after they're fully developed, it's not as if we can go and visit our clones, or vice-versa.  And communication between our worlds would be slow an inefficent. So we're still more or less isolated. (On the bright side, if an asteroid hits one planet, it won't kill off ALL humanoids.)

  • Learn how to take part in free razer merchandise giveaway at my channel!

  • I think our current shot at traveling long distances in short periods of time are the Alcubierre drive or being able to create and stabilize a wormhole. Both of which are assumed to require more energy than the universe has to offer. :/

  • yep. and then to protect/respect the singularity, we will kill the original one ;)

    u can make a man, but can't copy his/her knowledge/learnings (so far)..

  • Hyperspace...

  • I don't think this will copy your memory and without that you're not you, just a clone o.O

  • Even sending people through lasers through galaxis is just TOO SLOW. Light will take years to reach the nearest star, and even thousands of light years to reach the nearest galaxi.

  • @vivalaresistanc exactly.. maybe a hyper sleep stasis technology would be more realistic than their blueprint idea.

  • @vivalaresistanc is light the fastest things can go? i'm just wondering that, because if light is the fastest anything can go... then... humans wont be able to expand very far....

  • @farcry2ffan Yup - it's a cosmic speed limit - though there may be ways to take "shortcuts" so that even though locally you are travelling slower than light, you actually reach your destination as though you had travelled faster than it!

  • No one is too old for Legos

  • @coolhislop Your computer are basically high tech Legos!

  • what happens if someone intercepts the email and makes evil clones

  • Now what happens if the life on the target planet uses a different genetic code?

  • Sounds like "The Fifth Element" when the girl, Leeloo, was built on a 10x(?) helix DNA. When they cloned her from what was left of her hand, she was a complete person with, at least, most of her memories in intact.

  • Comment removed

  • maybe in 500 years

  • whould be better to teleport

  • what about the life experiences which made him who he is?

  • @zayadnay all stored in the dna of ur brain my friend.

  • @edgiz99 that's cute lol but don't DNA stay the same when you're born as when you're grown?

  • @edgiz99 Actually, DNA doesn't store experiences. That would be the network of connections of the neurons in your brain. So, unless they completely recreate the connections in perfect order of which they happened, the clone of the subject would not have the life experiences of the donor. Like I said to zayadnay, a clone is an artificial twin. A twin is a natural clone. Each one is a unique and different person. :)

  • @zayadnay Not necessary. If the nano-bots can combine to create an artificially intelligent robot, it can protect the baby clone and teach it all it needs to know in orbit around the destination planet. A clone is just an artificial twin. A twin is a natural clone. Each one is a different unique person.

  • @gamehero77 ya exactly so we can not guarantee that this clone will have the same thoughts and desires as the original person, even though he'll have the same information... so we can not be sure that he will have the same enthusiasm about fulfilling the job which we sent him/her to do

  • your more then your dna... your your genetic blue print...

    and if thats all your sending you might as well take the long rute... i mean you'll have ot send robots there before hand anyway... so you migth as well send along some genetic material

    unless your lucky enught to find an alien civilisatiion to accept your form at assemble it... well nto your form just a form.. if your only copying dna....

  • @ZerqTM u realise that what he's planing to do isn't going to happen unless we colonise space? thats why he was talkin about space colonies and how to travel most efficiently between them

  • @ZerqTM He said there will be a swarm of nanites (nanoscopic robots) going there too. they can assemble themselves to become larger machines. Plus, they can become different kinds of machines. One group can build or transport an artificial or a cryogenically frozen egg cell (minus the genetic material in the nucleus) or stem cell. From the egg cell, they can clone you buy constructing an artificial womb. The stem cell can differentiate and create a clone of you.

  • but you'd only transport the genetic material, which is approximately equal to the DNA you had at birth. How do we account for the changes in the brain that occured since? Do we encode the neural network too? I'm more a fan of massive quantum entanglement :D It'd be faster, too

  • @handplanty Quantum entanglement is epic :DDDD It think that the clone would be in a space station in orbit around the destination. He or she would be taught by robots and computers what he/she needs to know for the exploration of the destination, then sent down when he/she old enough.
