Interesting.
Get someone to try to build it!
You could make money, or just make lotsa people angry...

So the story goes...
It makes you wonder.

HMMMmmm, interesting, its more cloning though.
 

 cloning causes problems


and after your done scanning the original copy

 

THERE WILL BE TWO OF YOU

the original and a copy.... a copy that is exactly like you in every single way and form


yea but i already have a copy of me iuts called my twin

and cloning causes trouble

I just checked on PC World, their allocated stock of atomic placement scanners has been completely pre-sold in the Christmas rush.  Ah well, there's always the Xbox 360.

If you can't be a good example, then you can serve as a horrible warning.

Sadly, it has been proved that to teleport people from one place to another, you need an energy source that is about 8 times more powerful than the sun. They know how to do it, just can't get a big enough battery :)

Assuming that atomic structure is not so simple as atomic placement, you could just literally fall apart after the process finished.

You might also want to think about the fact that atoms all over your body are constantly moving, and it would be pretty difficult to get a simaltaneous reading on every atom. Also, when it comes to interatomic and intermolecular bonds, can we be sure just placing them in the same place will work?

Regardless, it would effectively kill you anyway.

Think of it this way, if someone was to make an identical copy of you, right now, that copy would think it was you, but you would not be you, as you would not be experiencing life from it, you would be experiencing lfe from your original body.

Right, so, teleporting people by pulling them apart and then reassembling them is effectively making an identical copy while destroying the original, therefore, if you get teleported in such a way, you die, and your stream of conciousness ends, and an identical copy of you is created which thinks it is you, but really is not you.

It will be well over 250gb of data to have all of the make-up of a human being stored.  I think someplace I read they did a fly wing successfully.

And it would be virtually impossible to be able to collect and reassemble each and every atom.

How the HELL are you going to reassemble atoms and electrons if you can't even tell where they are at the time of digitization?

no... thats teleporting an atom DIRECTLY

this is just emailing an atoms information from one place to another.... you need a very little amount of energy for that

We have this thing called "Science" which tells us that it's impossible to know the state of an electron (both position and speed) simultaneously.
