Teleportation Discovered

That's not teleportation though. If there were two people, one on each end. One is unfrozen, steps into a chamber to freeze, as he is frozen the clone on the other side is woken up. That's kinda teleportation. But to freeze yourself just to be like... Shipped somewhere in a crate. That's not teleportation. Teleportation is like instant, or at least faster than conventional means of travel.

 

I did not say you would be shipped in a crate. ' Then data map your entire body and then send it over fibre optic cables. Then unfreeze on the other side. Cryogenic chamber to cryogenic chamber.
Ever see tron?'You body can be mapped like they do in tron and star trek. The freezing is so every atom/neuron/etc can be perfectly 'scanned' (the laser needs to know exactly where everything is at a given moment), and transferred into a buffer to be sent to another chamber on the other side. It's not as complicated as I am making it.'

 

It would be cool if they could send you as information over distances and then a machine reads the info and spits you out as you. It translates the information into matter. Now I don't know if it would be technically You because you didn't travel physically you were transmitted as info. Don't know.

Would you mean you arrive in the cryogenic chamber as matter downloaded from info or you are transported whole to be like "beamed up" into the cryo chamber?

 

Not beamed' as that's kinda teleportation right there, isn't it? So, perhaps 'downloaded' on the other side - perhaps 'printed out' like they do on a 3D printer.


To be fair, I aint liking the sound of this now.

 

Odon,teleportation's easy.
My mate was walking along the pavement with us as we were between pubs,stepped on a draincover that gave way-suddenly he was in a sewer-in an instant!

[let me just assure you none of us laughed....honest we didn't]

 

Do you mind if I do?

 

That still leaves the problem of tearing the person apart into something such as light (which we can't do without killing them), then transporting them across I fiber optics cable, then rearranging that torn apart body on the other side and somehow bringing them back to life. That is impossible as of the time we live in now.

 

You'd have to be a robot on the other side.

 

Details. Details. I realise that. I just thought my way was a little easier than transfering memories and using clones. Two other scientific breakthroughs we'd need before the third and fourth. My way we just need one or two.

 

Probably the only thing we would be capable of within the next 100 years would be "teleporting" our personalities across distances and downloading them into robots. Now if we could teleport our consciousness into objects then imagine being a car on a racetrack. Or a jet fighter. It would beat any video game ever known!

 

Clones aren't something we have yet to discover that is 100% possible. Memories is a different issue though, unless you raised all the clones in one home, then started freezing/putting them to sleep, and storing them for use.

 

It reminds me of that Arnold Swartzenager movie. Like... The Sixth Day or something like that....

 

Yeah, like Surrogates. That would be crazy. War would go insane and like 1/3 of the worlds population would die. And that's BEFORE the robots take over.

 

Growing a multitude (for more than one trip) of clones to the same age as the user within a short space of time (hours rather than years) is a little beyond us, no? Or are we all going to generic people with only our memories to distinguish us?

I think we would both be burnt at the stake for all of this you know.

 

"The technology was remarkably feasible and economical. Fifty years ago the world would have shrugged off a future where personalities could be downloaded into objects. A person's consciousness beamed into a racecar. Or a satellite. The possibilities were endless; along with the implications. Jenna Braun stood over the command console. The temperature in the facility was a stifling 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Sweat formed at her hairline and rolled down her forehead pooling on her philtrum. To get rid of it quickly she swiped it with her lower lip. "Yeah so where are you going again?"
"Geneva. Geneva, Switzerland. That's in the Euro Bloc." the traveler said. Invading her personal space the towering man hovered over her and put his tanned hand on her shoulder. His name was Eric Sandberg and his occupation was a manager of store decorations at some huge department store that was in 85 countries. Not fearing his advances due to his orientation she politely accepted his intrusion for the moment.
"Mhm. What's the access code the travel agency supplied you with?"
"Uh, the access code? What?" flustered he replied and furrowed his brow.
"A code to verify that you are the ticket holder, sir."
"Oh yeah. It's "Donnell-Diction-Into-The-Ground"."
"Check. Step over to the platform. The dais on the central line. Put your feet on the marks. And stand up straight. Good keep your arms straight down."
A bright flash that dimmed everything in the room for a moment blinded all who didn't shield their faces. He was gone. Right about now Eric Sandberg is uploading into a device the size of a human skin cell. His transfer, a mission of utmost secrecy. Sandberg propels himself towards his objective. Latch on to the individual codenamed Geta Dekroa Nok Zulu. The subject's real identity---Fred Wilcox. The subject was to undergo full surveillance at all times."

Something like this I think.

 

That's why I suggested clones be prepared for locations you travel frequently.

 

I was asking what type they would be. What would these clones actually be: Age, colour etc.

If they are generic clones of no specific age - we are into a whole different world, beyond mere getting from A to B more quickly.

I do think you need to simplify all of this a little.

 

They would be clones like the ones we make of sheep. Where it's the same exact sheep same exact age. Why would we clone generic bodies then kill ourselves

 

If they are exactly the same as the original, they have to grow/age at the normal rate. That's why I said: Growing a multitude (for more than one trip) of clones to the same age as the user within a short space of time (hours rather than years) is a little beyond us, no?

To get around the fact that it's more complicated to make a duplicate. I was imagining a generic clone could be grown quicker, too.
