lol
i guess none of us here will ever know, i mean look at how much humans have evolved.
btw how about that giant colider thingy, you know the one thats suppose to create blackholes, i know its a bit off topic but its my example of how much humans have evolved

If your neurons were all replaced one at a time over a day with perfectly similar artificial copies, at what point are you no longer you?

You would always be you. This actually happens. No cell in your body lasts a whole lifetime.

I believe human teleportation will be painful, I mean you're pulling your body apart! Whether its done scientifically or not!

Painful for the person about to be vaporised

Think about it, in order to teleport biological matter you'd have to be able to replicate it at a quantum level then create it at the destination and then vaporise the source - otherwise sending physical bodies would be extremely difficult because of the way our bodies work, no?

I think biological teleportation will most likely remain impossible, as in from point A to point B in one move but replicating point A and recreating it at point B then vaporising point A's person seems more reasonable in a totaly jeffed up way

SCIFI!

Yeah i heard of the cell thing, i just find it amazing how you can still consciously be you if everything changes, the matter and energy all change at different rates but your awareness is always you, if that makes sense?

teleportation is like a terrorists dream come true.
