Why do these so-called scientists always get the concept of the transporter wrong. You're not making a copy of a person every time you make a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy image becomes worse and worse. If the transporter was a copy machine forget about the moral implications of murdering the original and all of his copies but every time you make the copy that person becomes less and less the person that he or she was and it will eventually shorten that person's lifespan or even cause premature death. The transporter is not making a copy is taking the original person breaking that person down to his original elements as molecules and sending those molecules the same molecules in me that that person reassembling it someplace else. Thus you are not making a copy you are essentially taking apart a jigsaw puzzle moving it to a new destination and reassembling that jigsaw puzzle. Now everyone knows every time you take a jigsaw puzzle apart you take the chance of damaging the pieces that's where the Heisenberg compensator comes in. It ensures that all the molecules go back to its proper place so that any damage to that person can be properly healed through medicine.

The matter transporter (and food/material replicators, protein re-sequencers, particle synthesizers. by extension, should be THE piece of Star Trek technology that should be highly prioritized. Why? It opens the doors to pretty much all the other technologies seen on the show. A matter transporter could possibly allow an A. I. -equipped deep-space probe to be able to essentially take care of itself, particularly when it starts running low on power. it can beam aboard additional radioactive material for fuel, while beaming out spent material (either directly outside of the probe, or preferably into some sort of matter reclamation chamber. Imagine using a transporter in such a way that you could re-arrange and manipulate the very quantum strings comprising each atom to form other types of matter. perhaps hydrogen gas at a specific pressure. for thruster propulsion.

I wish videos like these actually had experts on Star Trek-s fictional science and tech on hand. Trek is surprisingly hard scifi, especially when you include supplemental materials like the technical manuals. Basically every aspect of the technology is explained in-universe, and it would be much more interesting to hear these real-world experts reacting to the minutia of Trek-s technology.
Give Mike and Denise Okuda a call! Or any hardcore trekkie. At the very least get someone there that knows the difference between deflectors and shields lmao. The magnetic shielding NASA uses sounds a little bit more like the 22nd century -polarized hull plating- tech than deflectors or shields.

Warp dimensional drive propulsion saucer spacecraft that can across galaxies and multi dimensional universes in seconds has by StarDrive Engineering company in 1992 year for nasa contract fleet 10 saucers spacecrafts but nasa has no education and no understanding of no background in scientific sciences in Quantum mechanics physics in electromagnetics propulsion systems that never needs fuel and runs forever! Beam up technologies using electromagnetics field frequencies to beam a person up to saucer spacecraft!
Nikloa Tesla was the first one to built two man warp drive saucer spacecraft and patent 1899 year in colordo spring Colorado springs Colorado!

matter and antimatter engine and nacelles. First we need fuel, deuterium isotope ( heavy water) and how to reverse polarity to create anti deuterium. tricoders are not padd or ipads, if anyone here is a real trekkie. the tricoder is a diagnostic tool, thats why star trek universe have scientific tricoder and medical tricoders. Deflector shields are to protect the ship for any damage. when ship is at warp, the deflector dish is the one active. The titanium shielding of nasa is good but, is better to polarize the hull plating of any ship. How to polarize is the mystery. We are very far away but, time and determination is our friend.

So holodeck characters leaving the holodeck and walking around, like Moriarty on TNG? Or becoming sentient? And has it not occurred to you that if you disassemble someone's atoms and reassemble them somewhere else, as in the transporter, you are actually killing that person and reassembling a clone? Food synthesizers? Really? Ok, I get that you find Star Trek inspiring. But come on and admit it: the -science- is ridiculous. It's one of the least believable sci-fi franchises around. And the franchise's naive optimism about human nature is just about as ridiculous.

The transporter is a replicator with a fancy disintegration function. You don't need metaphysical terms like a soul to describe you consciousness, but you still have a point of view (POV) in your own free roaming self contained biological system. Many duplicates of you would have their own POV, all divergent experiences after replication regardless of being exact copies atom by atom. Your POV will end in an instant during transportation and a new POV will emerge on the other side not knowing any better being an exact duplicate.

The biggest problem with putting humans in space is humans are taileroed for surviving on earth. For spacetravel we need to reimagine humanity and engineer them to be tailerod for space travel. With advances in 3d printing, ai and other technologies that will be possible. One key feature is shrinking the spaceship to nanoscale or possible further. We just need to send many seeds just like mushrooms that will grow and redo the process.

Star Trek transporters don't disassemble you and reassemble you, they put you in a warp bubble and move the bubble.
Think of the logistics of changing a human into energy. First of all that's killing someone, then you have to record the state of every cell, every molecule, every atom, then reassemble all that at the destination. And if you could record that state of someone's body like that, why not just pump out more copies?

reply

Most of the atoms in your body are replaced in a span of a few years. You could argue that a transporter would do the same just -faster-, so human conciseness is just the right atoms in the right place to make the right neuron pattern. You could say that conciseness is just the -collective voice- of billions of neurons talking to each other. Plot twist, we are the borg.
