Scientists Take Quantum Steps Toward Teleportation

The problem with such an act, Kaku says, is that “you have to be destroyed in order to have your body teleported to the other side of the room. So if you’ve been destroyed and teleported, then who is that person there? They have the same memory, the same jokes, the same everything, except the original was destroyed in the process of being teleported.”
So if one was to be teleported, would he or she simply be re-created but not able to tell the difference? Stay tuned to the Joint Quantum Institute website to see if they ask for volunteers.

About me

I am an entrepreneur and have started Veechi and SocializedHR. Before my endeavor into entrepreneurship I spent my time working at Google in the maps division and before that I attended UC Berkeley studying a hybrid between computer science and business.

On my free time I love yoga, meditation, hiking, reading books that challenge my way of thinking, and advising companies. I am currently an advisor to Watt and Fauvre Research

Here I post thoughts, quotes, and images that strike my fancy.
