So, we have that camp; today we have the other camp with this article stating to do so means death. Personally, I have my doubts around humans or animals of any sort being able to teleport like Star Trek; great concept. However, to do so means breaking down your make up into particles and hopefully without killing you, the particles transport and reassemble themselves and everything remains healthy and functioning. Wish the test subjects all the best.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Remember last week\u2019s video about the trouble with Star Trek\u2019s transporter (a.k.a. a \u201csuicide box\u201d) by CGP Grey, delving into whether the teleported version of yourself would really be, well, you? Henry Reich of Minute Physics has posted a video response with his own resolution to the logical paradox.<\/p>\n<p>You know what means\u2026 NERD FIGHT!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, not really. They agree on many of the particulars. But the original video didn\u2019t cover one important element to the problem of teleportation: the no-cloning theorem of quantum mechanics.
