    Teleportation
Click For Summary
Teleportation, as discussed, currently involves the "teleportation" of photons and electrons, which is more accurately described as the destruction of a particle at one location and its recreation at another. This raises philosophical questions about identity, as the recreated particle may not be considered the same as the original. The feasibility of teleporting larger objects, such as humans, faces significant challenges, including the massive data storage required to capture every atom's information and the limitations imposed by the speed of light. While some propose that copying and recreating a person could preserve identity, others argue that this method ultimately results in a mere copy rather than true teleportation. The discussion highlights the complexities of teleportation and the ongoing debate about its theoretical and practical implications.

And since you did say it again, I realize that the first instance wasn't a typo. Just for clarification in future posts, the English spelling of that is 'feasible'. You're doing well, though.
ThanX for clarifying..
