Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality.

Knowledge and memories have to be physically encoded somewhere right? Surely it’s just chemistry

Yeah. Not only that, but if there is some sort of quantum state that represents the you that is you, even beyond your memories, but literally down to the spins of sub atomic particles that make you up, and you are able to transfer that state one way, making it appear exactly somewhere else (and presumably causing the state to cease to exist where it started), I’m happy to consider that teleportation, no death whatsoever. You weren’t deconstructed at point a and rebuilt at point b, you literally teleported.

True. It’s also physics.
