When Someone Finally Invents A Teleportation Machine

[Imabeliever]

Which cautionary measures can we take to make sure that the real threat seen on the film "Th Fly" doesn't happen? Not only at the insect level but the more frightening bacteria level as if a human dna mixes with a deadly bacteria or viruses dna this could spell the end of mankind as we know it as then we'd have a a giant virus/bacteria capable of pro creating intentionally and with the iq of what could be a genius.

So how could we best avoid this?

Human teleportation, molecular breakdown and refornatuon is inherently purging. It makes a man a king.

[EDDIE51]

Teleportation will never take place in reality it is pure science fiction.
The famous eqution E=MC 2 makes teleporation for any thing above the quantum level impossible .

[RandyMarsh]

Maybe teleport in a vacuum is my answer. The quote before is from the fly.

have a good wash before you get in the machine?

[Prudie]

I think deadly viruses and bacteria are already extremely capable of pro-creating intentionally. They don't need a high IQ to do it, in fact if mixed with human thought they'd probably end up destroying themselves.

I don't think this is anything to worry about and in fact based on how teleportation machines are likely to work it's not even a threat full stop.

In order to teleport something, you would one way or another measure the "quantum state" of the system, and then transmit that measure elsewhere. This isn't going to be a direct measurement, but would be done using the properties of entanglement. The technical details of how this work don't overly matter for now, but the end result is that the teleportation machine measures something and, critically, what it measures will be radically different for a fly sitting on a human from what it would measure if the fly and human were to merge in some way.

Moreover there is no risk of the information decaying from the one state to the other (or, at least, one can safely assume that this risk is negligible). The result is that if a working teleportation machine were ever built it would almost certainly not lead to such bizarre scenarios as a "super-intelligent virus".

Quite apart from that, the practical chances of building such a machine are vanishingly small, at least for the foreseeable future, so that everyone here will be long gone anyway.

What would happen if you tried to teleport Schrödinger's cat?

[Imabeliever]

Interesting. So are we in agreement that the best thing to do for the future of mankind would be not to let this monstrosity of an idea of the ground in the first place using any means necessary?

What exactly should be done with the The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and with all due respect if you're in the dark at exactly what this machine does/is capable of then you have a lot of research to do as we can assure you that 99% of the public are unaware of it's true purpose/potential.

[Imabeliever]

Not to scaremonger but this is taken from years of research and facts.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, a nice conspiracy theory. First one of 2015?

[jim360]

I wasn't saying that at all. As to the LHC being dangerous... yeah... it really isn't. But never mind.

[Graham-W]

Zacs-Master. Schrödinger's cat would be neither here nor there as well as being alive and dead. I'll bet the cat's even more confuse than me.

[woofgang]

JNO, do you know the OP? (joke)

[Imabeliever]

Well we can be coy, naive and bandy around terms such as "conspiracy theory" and bury our heads in the sand OR we could get out there and see what those in the know are saying about it and what founded these allegations as I once did.

[jno]

jim360 seems pretty well in the know. If he says the Large Hadron isn't going to collide with anything, I believe him.

[EDDIE51]

Imabeliver has only asked 2 questions , one about ufo's and this one.
I think I see a pattern developing .

[Imabeliever]

With all due respect I'd be more inclined to trust an outside independent group than someone who has ties with a secret establishment which I suspect this gentleman does going on your reaction.

Next you'll be telling me that Haarp was invented to monitor birds!

[Imabeliever]

The only "pattern" here is free independent thinking.
