Ep 145: Teleportation
from The Mr Science Show
Is teleportation possible in the real world, or only in the world of science fiction? In this very special episode, Dr Boob takes the reigns and leads us on a journey through teleportation, whether or not physics allows it and even if it does, can we technologically achieve it? What are the implications if we recreate someone in another spot - what about their soul? Does such a thing exist? And even if you can technologically achieve this, is it possible to reanimate a copy of someone? And what do you do with their original version, if you have simply copied them? This could be considered cloning, which brings in ethical questions. Perhaps wormholes could be a solution to this problem, but we haven't found any yet - however they are, as physicists like to say, theoretically possible. Tune in to this very entertaining episode (and I can say this without false modesty as Dr Boob did it all himself). If you'd like to hear more of Dr Boob on this podcast, check out our past joint episodes, mostly on the science of superheroes.
