I remember one episode where they're explaining transporter technology as a 'cure' for limited resources. Because the technology creates matter from matter, they just transport a load of unwanted stuff such as waste, and tell the transporter to rearrange the atoms into something useful, such as food. Basically making anything possible, because the end result is always atomically identical to the real thing.

Yep. Transporter was a cheap workaround for not having the budget to land the Enterprise nor having the budget until later to have a smaller craft you could afford to land.

So saying that you are not certain how it works, is kind of a play on words. get it?

Actually, there was an episode of Next Generation that they found a transporter "clone". It occurred when Riker was transported up from a planet years in the past but because of the way the atmosphere was, the beam both passed through to the ship and was reflected back to the surface. Thus two different Rikers were made in different places with different lives and experiences. One went on to become the second in command on the enterprise, and the other had to scrape out a living on a barren world all alone for years, without anyone even knowing he existed.

This episode made me realize that transporters could effectively be used as mind reading devices. If they're transmitting your data, it would have access to your memories in your brain. So it would be a simply step (relatively speaking) to read the information out of a person's brain.

Kyle, it's incredible when you do an episode that really resonates with you. Your excitement for what a transporter IS and represents (from 4:20 on) was palpable and wonderful to watch. That's the excitement that I love about scientists. The excitement went above and beyond the silliness of you and Dan (though I do love Elon Musks Bats) and elevated to the plane of Dr Tyson. Incredible work, sir. I look forward to more of this in the future.

@timcarter1164 7 жыл бұрын

I've always figured that if the transporter has all of the information that makes up you stored in it... When you transport back, even if you've been killed, they should be able to "reboot" you with the stored information by transporting your no longer living body back and reconstructing it in it's previous living form.

Same way that, through errors, this type of teleportation might make two copies of you. Does that mean both of them are you, or only one of them? What if the teleporter malfunctions, makes a copy of you at the destination, but doesn't deconstruct the you which was meant to be transported? Who is you, the copy or the 'original'.

And how do you know that Romrot? Our consciousness is merely due to evolution. Due to the chemical processes in our brain, how our brains evolved over time, down to its atomic structures. If you replicate a person perfectly, like what a teleporter like this could theoretically do, and copy their brain aswell down to the smallest level? Then yes, that copy will have a consciousness, and you wouldnt be able to tell it apart from the original. It would even have the same gaps in memory which the original had.

@Casedilla73 3 жыл бұрын

Think about it this way: if people in the 1600s were exposed to the idea of flying in a giant metal plane hundreds of feet in the air, they would be horrified and never agree. But because so many people do it all the time today, we are now desensitized to it and aren’t as scared. Granted, there are some people who are still scared, but they’re not the majority. I think that if this actually existed, over time, people would desensitize to it as more and more people did it without consequence and it became a normal thing. There would also probably be some sort of safety measures to make it more safe, as humans do.

I don't know if it is available in english, but I've read "Der Drache von Samarkand" in which teleporting has that aspect. I think it is described as "like in a famous poem in which a quince sits on a spoon and is carried" only the quince is the person and the spoon is a dimensional catapult that throws you outside of our four dimensions, only to catch you at your target position at the same time (the other station has been sent the exact information as to when to catch you, that's how it overcomes the need to send ALL of your information). It's not actually dying in it, just being shot outside of our four dimensions. But apparently that shock alone is enough that people died from screaming too much after they come back ;~}

I think that if we were to talk about a theoretical universe where sending this amount of information is possible, I think it is a lot more likely that transporters somehow instead fold together/overlap two points in space (or space-time?) so that they touch each other, similar to folding a 2d piece of paper in the third dimension, allowing the person or object to travel the distance between a ship and a planet in a single "step". I mean, this is the same universe where warp speed is a thing!

@illusion-xiii 8 жыл бұрын

That's a really cool alternative method for transporting a person/object across space. It doesn't match what is canonically described within Star Trek (which is breaking down a person/object and transmitting the molecular/atomic/quantum information to a receiver where it's reconstituted), so what you're saying isn't how transporters work, that's how Warp Drives work. But if you want to write your own universe where transporters use the same technology as warp drives, go ahead and do that. The world can always use more sci-fi authors.

They always have been. It's one of the problems I have with Trek. If you have a pattern - and there is no 'soul' - then all you ever need to do is copy the best and brightest to go explore everything. You could even just mass produce starships, once you had a power source that's replicable. Nuclear sort of w*rks. Trek rilly got silly toward the end of Voyager. Not even talking about the latest movies, with superblood and transgalaxy beaming.

They are indeed similar technologys. But there is a major difference. Replicator "only" saves information on a molecular lvl which is enough for food, clothes or other items. But they cant "Replicate" humans because you need to use the quantum lvl and this is too much for a Replicator. This is also the reason some individuals taste a difference between real food and replicated food. Or why there are some materials that can't be replicated (Latinum for example).

not only that but such a thing would be against the ethics of the federation. they don't even allow human augmentation.

So that technology is amazing because it would allow us to download unconceivable amounts of porn instantly. Now I get it!

JuQmadrid you could create a version of anyone you were interested in, do what you wanted with them and then just destroy them when you were finished. Potentially not murder as they were never really born.

Compression. This KZfaq video uses it and so would an encoding system for describing a physical human being. DNA is an example already existing in nature.

also for the transfer using quantum entanglement would be a good start since it's instant - imagine you buffering because your data volume ran out lmao

Doesn’t really solve the time issue, the amount of time needed to map the entire person and then to compress it would be phenomenal

Hi, Kyle and the Nerdist family. As I was watching this episode, I was wondering if the transit 2.0 in the show Dark Matter is more plausible than beaming people. Is it? I love this show, channel, and I hope you keep it up because it's inspiration to the fellow nerds out there who are craving this stuff.
