[ The dirty secret of the star trek transporters is that it kills the original and recreates it elsewhere.

And the open secret of Star Trek is their denial of a soul, which can never be destroyed and recreated by science.

The recreated “thing” would be a hollow shell. ]

No, it is the Heisenberg compensator that rips the soul out and then squirts it back into the lifeless re-created body.

Also most of your atoms are replaced every 7 years or so, the teleporter just shortens it to s few seconds.

Ah, thanks for the answer.

[BenLurkin]

Very cool!

“Just have to watch those transcription errors.”

lol- you read the book...

[Pearls Before Swine]

But who will know? Will the reconstructee? Will the deconstructee?

[ It’s already been done. Infinity allows for it to have happened and to happen again. You just may not live long enough to see it in action and realize it. ]

Don’t mess with teleports or you may end up punching a wall for a few billion years...

I hope not- I don’t want to get to the dentist faster!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Sorry. It’s been 55 years since I read about them;
“the speed of a tachyon increases as its energy decreases. In particular, E approaches zero when v approaches infinity. (For ordinary bradyonic matter, E increases with increasing speed, becoming arbitrarily large as v approaches c, the speed of light). Therefore, just as bradyons are forbidden to break the light-speed barrier, so too are tachyons forbidden from slowing down to below c, because infinite energy is required to reach the barrier from either above or below.”

Crazy episode of Dr Who.

some 2 billion years of repeating that whole sequence over and over again.

No, it is the Heisenberg compensator that rips the soul out and then squirts it back into the lifeless re-created body.

Do you mean this Heisenberg compensator? I don't get it. :-(

Clever cat... Duplicating itself to conceal the hammer!

So who wants to take a ride on a government transporter with union labor? Anyone? Anyone?

Keep in mind this is the government that could not build a website.

I thought it was a great Dr. Who episode. Capaldi gets better and better.

[wally_bert]

Wasn’t it 4 and .7 or so in change?

Great but crazy episode.

[max americana]

Wasn’t that one of the twists from Chris Nolan’s “The Prestige”?

Every time the magician made his trick, he had to kill his copy in the end.

[Georgia Girl 2]

No it cannot. We do not even have a propulsion system that can reliably get the moon and back. Its a metal tube strapped to a rocket. Give me a break. LOL!

[cripplecreek]

Yeah it was a cool episode.

I know Jenna Coleman has left the show but I suspect she will be a returning character. As long as she doesn’t return to her death she will remain alive and effectively immortal. She’s now running around in another TARDIS with Ashildr who is also effectively immortal.
