The Metaphysics of Teleportation
Loading...
Uploaded by bigthink on May 31, 2011
Even if science is able to teleport humans across large distances, would the teleported human really be the same person or just an exact replica? What would happen to the soul?

since when could we teleport water?

@Krisisonfire Incorrect. He's a theoretical physicist because he is writing the questions in physics we have yet to ask.
-
Isn't energy itself merely information? And, isn't all matter made of energy? With that said, aren't we all, in our very essence, a large collection of pure information, condensed into a physical state?

Just throw Schrodinger's cat in there.

"I'm a physicist. We don't know the answer to that" means: We know the answer, but you and the Inquisition are not gonna like it.

@deoxys101993 All his answers are I don't know answers, which is why he's a *theoretical* physicist ^_^

@setoman1 My perception Is different from my copy, that's the problem.
If I end, and the copy begins, The copy perceives that, it's perception did not end with the teleportation. On the other hand, from my end, I stop existing, and do not come out the other side. assuming there is no soul, that's blackness devoid of thought for eternity. I never want to experience that. Convert my brain piece by piece into a computer, convert matter into energy and back, Freeze me, I don't care, but dont END me

Darn it, even his "I don't know" answers sound smart.

I Don't care about the soul. What I care about is this:
If I experience Quantum Teleportation, I get disassembled, and die, I stop existing. MY PERCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSE ENDS. The body on the other side, would have a different perception. It would believe it wasn't but *I* would not experience that, because I would be dead. you don't need to think about the soul for that one.
