I was just watching a documentary and in it they talk about the recent success in teleportation by some Austrian scientist... What they said was that basically the information is copied to somewhere else and the original is destroyed... the new one, in a new location, is perfectly identical to the original...
My question is - if a human is teleported with this technology sometime in the future, wouldn't he/she just be an identical one to the teleported human but not really him/her? I imagine if I go into a teleporting machine, I'll pretty much die... but somewhere else another person is out there and he is like me down to the atom, and remembers going into the teleportation machine so as far as he's concerned it worked... From my end though, he' just a clone, closer to me than a biological clone as the bastard has all my memories, but still a clone...
Can someone please clarify this stuff for me? :p
Oh and are there other technologies, or concepts in physics, that allow for actual teleportation, really moving something? Wormholes?
This is kind of scary, imagine teleportation being a normal part of our daily lives, and thousands or millions of people using it every day... all those people would be committing suicide, but the result coming out of the other teleportation gate is identical so the world will still go on... Creepy. @_@
