If teleportation was possible, and one object materialised in another, what would happen?

Question

I've always wondered about this- I thought it would result in atomic fusion and a massive explosion, but I'm no real scientist. Still, you'd think that any two atoms co-existing at the same point would be pretty unhappy, even if they weren't a volatile material like Uranium 235 or whatever it is...

Most science-fiction examples of it show the two things merging together into a single object- is that likely? There's supposed to be a lot of space between atoms I suppose, but could there be that much leeway?

Any real input anyone has on this is greatly appreciated.

In addition, Beren down there just brought up something called the 'Pauli exclusion principle'- what's that?

Answer 1

Teleportation has actually been achieved on a mass of 1012 atoms. This was done as part of a huge study by the US Air Force. Of course, they dismissed "Star Trek" style teleportation completely out of hand (i.e. actually transporting the source atoms through space). The conclusion is that if the resultant object has the same quantum state as the source object then they can be considered the same object.

Actually, it's not the space between the atoms that matters, it's the energy between them. This energy would have the effect of repelling any atom that instantly appeared in the same space, but overall the two objects would merge but retain their original individual volume. This would cause the original object to expand.

Answer 2

Pauli exclusion principle:
Multiple identical fermions (a fundamental particle with half integer spin such a an electron) may not occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Therefore two particles cannot exist in the same place and time, and two objects could not merge together the way you asked,.

During teleportation two entangled states (for example two photon that have some inexplicable quantum interconnecting properties) are shared by two different people (very far apart) Alice and Bob. If Alice wants to teleport her photon to Bob's location she will perform a measurement in one of four Bell States (type of measurement) on her photon and send Bob the outcome of the measurement. From this information Bob will understand what Alice has done to obtain her outcome and will do the same and will achieve an exact copy of Alice's photon.

During teleporation the object that is being teleported is not physically moved, instead information on how to recreate the object is sent via a classical route. In theory example above could be maybe performed to a more complex system, perhaps a person.

Answer 3

I've never thought much about this but an interesting question.
Anniliation would create a new form as you speak of in science fiction but teleportation requires moving a subject from A to B would not be possible through anniliation because it would cause the subject to re-form as something different to before.
If I use my imagination and try and think of a possible way to move something from A to B then it would have to be by discovering the code, so could move it from A-B in pieces but then re-enter the code for correct re-construction of what ever I was to move. Like a cube. Let's say I had a cube of twelve smaller cubes but knew the order of each cubit I could then align them like a piece of string maybe and use electromagnetic force(probably) to move them from A-B and then place them back into a cube in the correct order-I could do that if I knew the correct code to begin with.
Ok, I know that probably made absolutely no sense to you, hahahaha
But like I said, off the top of my head thinking
Adding a bit more. Everything has a code that can be deciphened

Another possibilty is nanotechnology, why separate when only need to travel the electromagnetic paths, with time. Time can be manipulated-become a manipulator, lol

Answer 4

It's only a guess. But if you didn't show up in a vacuume you'd probably have to push out the atoms that were occupying the space or merge with them. There is that much space in the atom. Either way it could be really messy not to mention extremely noisy.

Answer 5

And what do you need to assert for it? What evidence are you able to offer that it became properly worth giving you those 'seconds'? I see existence interior the seeming small issues. at present I cheered someone up, in basic terms because i became satisfied to work out the guy, and they me. it truly is properly worth something, no longer no longer something. i love having those little 'seconds'. Then I complimented my spouse and that became uplifting....yet another 2d went by ability of. relaxing then to have the seconds.

Answer 6

I would think if the Pauli exclusion principle were violated, it would be real bad.

Answer 7

tellaportation is actually possible. it has been done with atoms. if it is tellapoted into a nother object it will cause the object to expand.

Answer 8

Great question. Can't answer it.

Answer 9

no
