Transporters and Quantum Teleportation

It's the loss of consciousness part that scares me.

The original Star Trek came up with the idea of teleporters only because they did not have the special effects necessary to show shuttle crafts landing and taking off.

I wish this channel was "Hour Physics"

it wouldn't be you but it would still be YOU

Lets just get to stage one first. Beaming fast food into peoples homes without the effort of walking out the door would be a winner with the online community.

Please do a video on the physics on boomerangs.

Who came here after the Behind The Scenes video?

And make sure when teleporting there's no flies

this reminds me of "the prestige"

I came here after the Behind The Scenes.

CGP Grey, VSauce3 and MinutePhysics. SciShow you are next!

MinutePhysics sent me here.

The "which one is you?" problem does not arise if you understand the fact that there is no "one" you. You are a different person each moment, an ever changing set, a process, rather than an entity, as is all life.

To explain the above further in layman terms: Our brains is like a computer hard-disk, we learns and stores memories in our lifetime. If we 'reconstruct' the new brain at the new location, it is akin to transferring and storing all the information on USB drive and bringing it over and plunging in and storing it on the new computer. The new computer - your new self now contains the same instruction set and software programs as the old computer - your old self. But because your new self now has a brain of his own, your new self gains a separate individuality. Basically both of you are like twins.

For a long time i have thought of this question: What if there suddenly was two of me? would it matter if one of us died? after thinking about it I've come to the conclusion that as soon as two individuals have different experiences or even the possibility of having different experiences and learning, you have two different people. Now i think of myself as a complete different person every second of my life.

Portal guns are our only hope then

Wow, Vsuace3, CPG Grey, and minute physics all did the same video

Excellent follow-up to an already wonderful video! Both of your guys' channels bring joy to my day when I see a new upload.

Thanks for introducing me to CGP Grey's videos. I don't know why I didn't find them earlier, but they're brilliant.

A fictional type of teleportation I would be okay with is creating a "pocket space" within which you are contained, then creating another "pocket space" of the same dimensions at your destination, then finally swapping the contents of the two pocket spaces.
