Teleportation -- possible only within the realm of Science Fiction?

Michio Kaku, physicist and author of "Physics of the Impossible," says it is already a reality.

Another great selection of the larger interview.

    • He's not only a physicist,
      he also is a philosopher.

      This is the style of Asian people
      who knows how to live peacefully
      with nature and life understanding.

      So when his mind isn't obsessed with messes,
      his mind becomes lightener and able to
      accept more knowledge and wider vision.

      you are right benzodeiazepine , if the mind is busy with creation and universe , don't have time for none sense
      but then again , the mind like that it makes it very hard for him to live in this world, feeling he is living among wild homocapians. we need more people like that in this world,

    • even if it did work on humans i would never do it. the original copy has to be destroyed meaning that even though on the other end of the trip there is an exact copy of you with memories and personality, it isnt your consciousness. the real "you", would be dead.

      I don't know @ that one. "You" are not even made up of the exact same material as "you" were seven years ago, simply because of the way humans (and our type of biological "life") metabolize. Not your bones, not your brain. Yet and still your "mind" as well as your physical structure have component and reactive memory @ what's happened to your body; this is why we keep scars, have the ability to remember events from the past, etc...

      On teleportation: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle seems to speak of its impossibility, unless I'm getting my quantum mechanics wrong. But there's no such thing as impossible. Just highly improbable (aka "would take too much energy"). I saved a couple of these articles this week because my friend and I would always argue if this'd be possible in our lifetimes. Guess I lost.

      By the way, the question that simguy665 poses is nearly identical to the one that was often used as an essay question to get into the University of Chicago last decade.

      your brain cells do not regenerate in the way that a heart or bone cell does. you have only one brain.
      i thought about this a lil more today while i was "working". since the information gathered in the teleporter is sent to the destination, would you be able to make more than one copy? and that since your neural network would theoretically be copied in the teleportation process, it may be possible to continue the same stream of consciousness. but i still wouldnt do it for the fear of that not being true. besides, the clone would remember everything as if they were the original, we would never know what the original feels.
