Could Nanotechnology unlock Teleportation?

Quantum teleportation has already been proven. We have used teleportation to teleport some objects a few feet at the Atomic level.

Some scientist believe that Quantum teleportation will help shape teleportation in the future.

Yeah, sure!

Nanotechnology? I think maybe that is the wrong subject, maybe you mean quantum physics?

Either way, the Star Trek notion of teleportation is fundamentally flawed. It's basically killing you whilst in the same moment creating a clone of your far away. Sure, everyone thinks you're alive and teleported, but you're dead and there's some faker who thinks they're you screwing your gf.

The only way to make this kind of thing work and keep the human intact is some kind of sci-fi space bendy thing that is well beyond anything my brain would be able to grasp and I'm not sure is even possible :p

My two cents. Let's hear some cool theories.

To be fair, an exact clone on oneself - including memories and things up to the point where the original body died - would be essentially immortality, although I'm not sure how that would consciously work.

Side: No way!

I believe that scenario would be eternal life for a clone of you, or even something which was a lot like you.

It's the twin scenario. Even if two are truly identical in every way, when one dies it does not somehow inhabit the body of the twin and observe and live through that twin. One is no more and the other is alive, though to any outside it would be indistinguishable.

So if me or you are cloned absolutely perfectly down to the atom and every synapses, then we die, we do not live through this other thing.

In order for me or you to live forever, somehow our brain needs to be preserved. Not copied, preserved.

Unless perhaps as I think I said, you could replace a brain one small section at a time, give that section time to adapt to the whole, then replace the next...

Still though, even that is iffy in my mind.

Side: Yeah, sure!

No i don't mean Quantum physics i mean nanotechnology. Scientist believe the only why to practice teleportation without uses humans is to practice with things that are microscopic to the naked eye but you can observe threw a microscope. It would be more safe too. We could just practice by teleporting it a couple of feet or inches. But something really small, not very big like a human. And no quantum physics isn' the answer, sorry.

Side: Yeah, sure!

That's fine.

I don't think you understand the underlying concept of how teleportation of this sort is supposed to work though.

You are not moving one thing to another place.

You are completely destroying one thing in one place to recreate it exactly and instantly on an atomic level in another place.

This would kill you. It is not really "teleportation" it is cloning.

Do you understand now?

Side: No way!

Well your wrong. Sorry. But you are. We should use nanotechnology to begin teleporting small things like atoms before we teleport a human don't you think?

Side: Yeah, sure!

I object to whoever downvoted you for the innocent mistake, but you are mistaken. I'm 100% for teleportation of everything just about. Just not anything sentient. Please read more carefully my posts above then add to that. I do not believe you understand my argument at all at this point.

Side: No way!
