we need teleportation frankly

    What if physicists find a way to bend space such that you’d be able to move instantly (through some sort of portal) between two extremely far places while staying at a normal speed?

    Just because quantum teleportation has “teleoprtation” in its name, doesn’t mean it’s the only possible form of it.

    Don’t blame others for arguing without thinking if you haven’t given it proper thought yourself.

      The gravity needed to even create small hypothetical spacetime bridges would spaghettify any normal matter passing through it.

      Just because quantum teleportation has “teleoprtation” in its name, doesn’t mean it’s the only possible form of it.

      It kind of does. Wormholes are not teleportation. ANY method that ‘moves’ atoms from one place to another falls under the ‘suicide booth’ category.

      if you haven’t given it proper thought yourself.

      You really have no fuckdamn idea how long I have been thinking about this exact subject.

        You have really strong opinions on this considering most of this is purely theoretical.

        AFAIK no wormholes were ever observed or created, and there are many theories on how they maybe created (artificially or naturally) and/or traversed.

        Also, any I think any reasonable person would say you teleported if he saw you going through a portal.

        We also don’t understand consciousness, so no one really knows what happens when you use a ‘suicide booth’ like you imagine. Maybe it’s even possible to just teleport your consciousness too.

        Neither do you.
