Once again a powerful enough computer could easily fix this. The computer would read each individual atom before transport and each individual atom during, then all the atoms would be arranged back in the order they were before being ripped apart/converted to energy.

This is one of those things that needs to happen for "the future" to happen. Like a fusion plant that powers the entire Earth wirelessly. That way nothing would ever need to be charged ever again, and from there we get to flying cars and massively powerful small devices.

Yes and it could "beam" you through spacetime. And we could call them "transporters"!

The one thing Star Trek got right was if we get teleporters and replicators money would become worthless and greed would become irrelevant.

Energy still won't be infinite. Some kind of a credit system would be required to regulate it, with more credits allocated to bodies that would put it to better use than ordinary people.

I think wave function collapse confuses people. An envelope always either has or doesn't have a prize. It's determined when someone puts it in the envelope. The spin, however, is determined upon being measured, for both particles at the same time - which obviously seems like some information is being teleported between the particles even though we cannot use it.

So you're saying that you can make n amount of measurements and the chance of the spin being positive or negative will be about 1/2n (50%). And that P1spin=P2spin at the time of measurement?

How do we know that a random variable isn't being produced at the time of entanglement, which would explain why P1spin=P2spin?

But the important question is this: can it bypass the lightspeed limit?

The methods they are using now to teleport things aren't going to work, since I'm pretty sure quantum entanglement would kill any living thing. If it was even possible on something human's size.

Those kinds of diagrams always remind me of the numerous times I've tried and failed to understand the plot of Primer.

They're putting energy into an entangled particle and taking it out of its counterpart at the other end. Does that mean that we could eventually do the same on a massive scale and transmit energy through entangled computer chips, thus directly connecting computers and enabling real-time communication across any distance?

God, I hope so.

WEe're still going to rot and die on this god forsaken planet there is no hope extinction is imminent

Teleportation won't be what it reads as. It'll just recreate something, destroying the original. That could be deadly for us as it could possibly wipe your brain?

Nah you would copy over the memories.

Yeah, copy. That's why if teleportation is ever invented in my lifetime (which won't) I'll never take one because of the fear of "me" dying and just a perfect copy being created on the other side.

Who cares, technically you are still alive.

Isn't calling this 'teleportation' an incredibly bad misnomer? Unless I'm rather mistaken, to entangle particles you require them to initially be in contact with one another and somehow get them to have some correlative state, such as one having positive spin and anther negative(for photons). You can then move them apart by any distance, but at this point their spins are completely unknown until you measure one, once you measure one and find its spin to be positive, you instantly know the other is negative, thus you can say that the other particle went from being of unknown spin to the opposite spin to the particle you have, yet the other particle hasn't physically changed in any way, you merely have more information about it due to deduction, right?

Not to mention that you can't force the spin to be anything thus you can't use this to transmit information faster than c so I don't see what's so amazing about this. It's like having 2 envelopes, one with a prize in and another that's empty, you can separate them by a lightyear and if you open one and find a prize, you'll know the other person has an empty envelope, but checking it doesn't really change anything, nor can the other person know if/when you've opened it so yea.

What happens if a fly comes in with you?
