Teleportation is all fun and games until someone gets telefragged.

No matter is transferred during quantum teleportation, only information.

And anyway, given the replacement rate of cells in an average human body, you are mostly different than you were a few years ago. Except for your central nervous system, your lenses, and your oocytes if you're a she.

If I was you I'd look for any excuse to dismiss me too.

I guess after I see a few people I know do it I wouldn't worry, but I sure as fuck won't be the first one.

Will you help me understand how this is different then https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/14/qu...ip-enterprise/
'Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now managed a significant breakthrough by ‘teleporting,’ or transferring, quantum information from one photon to another over a distance of 63 miles of optical fiber. This is 4x farther than the previous record. The research is published in the journal Optic.'

the difference that i gather is your linked experiment actually put one of the quantum entangled photons 6km away,whereas, one i linked just copied the information to another particle 63m away?

I think I got confused where they talk about fibers they used...

Lol. I've read this post several times now and it makes me giggle each time. It shouldn't be this funny and I don't know why it is, but it is. ^^

Ohhhh, that is a good point. I feel a little dumb now... But, if only information is transferred, I might prefer that a way be devised of extracting that information without tearing me apart and the. Just create another me at the desired location. I wouldn't mind me copies. The world could benefit from more me.

yes, but that is gradual. I feel like New cells have an opportunity to become me. They're inside of me. They've an opportunity go through orientation and be integrated into greater melon society. I don't feel that ripping me apart, recording molecular information and applying it to other stuff is really analogous.
