Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of teleportation and its associated physical units, particularly questioning whether teleportation can be quantified similarly to speed, and what metrics might apply to this phenomenon. The scope includes theoretical considerations and conceptual clarifications regarding the nature of teleportation in physics.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that since teleportation does not seem to take time, it may not have a conventional unit like [L]/[time].
  • Another participant proposes that teleportation could be represented mathematically as an infinite speed, using the notation 0,1! to denote infinity, while also discussing the process of scanning and reconstructing a body.
  • A different viewpoint argues that regardless of the distance L, if it is infinite, the result remains infinite, suggesting a conceptual irrelevance of L in this context.
  • There is a question raised about whether the discussion fits within the realm of physics.
  • One participant inquires if physical units like miles, kilometers, or meters per second could apply to teleportation.
  • Another participant introduces the idea that if teleportation involves scanning and reconstructing, metrics such as bandwidth (bits per second) and latency (seconds) could be relevant.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express various viewpoints on the nature of teleportation and its physical units, with no consensus reached on how to quantify teleportation or whether it fits within classical physics.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the applicability of traditional physical units to teleportation, and there are unresolved questions regarding the definitions and implications of teleportation in both classical and quantum contexts.

We use ms-1 for unit of speed.
But what is the physical unit for teleporting a mass to a distance L? Is it also [L]/[time]?
But it seems it does not take time for teleport.

I am seeking help. Thanks very much.

Yes, for teleportation v=0,1!(which is infinity) so the equation would be s/0,1! which is 0,1! . If you are confused by the 0,1! , note that the facuilty of 0,1 is infinty so I chose it to represent infinity because I don't have the infinity sign on my desktop.Yet thinking about it in detail, teleportation is nothing but scanning a bodys molekular and nuclear structure, destroying the body and building it up again at a different device or point. s=L

So it doesn't matter what L is even if it is infinity it still is irelavent because infinity/infinity=infinity

Thank You for your help.
But I still concern about what the "physical unit" is for this, whether it is accessible or not.
 
Is this 'Physics'?
I wonder.
 
Do you mean something like miles or kilometers or meters or centimeters per second mintue or hour?
 
If we accept that "teleportation" is described as scanning an object here and reconstructing it there then two relevant metrics would be bandwidth and latency; bits per second and seconds.
 
Thread closed for Moderation...

EDIT: this thread will remain closed. If you wish to ask about the velocity of a particle undergoing quantum tunneling, then you may open a new thread in the QM forum. But in classical physics there is no such thing as teleportation.
