Question:I was thinkin a lil bit of transfering the humans through wires and air ... actually watever we send through wires and air is converted electromagnetic wave that travels and at the sender and receiver's side it again get converted into it's original format as text ,music etc etc, still we have not successed to send any obejct throgh wires , but if some day we get success will u like to travel through wire n wat if any error occured ?

That's not really traveling.

What gets reassembled at the end is only a facsimile. Even without errors, that is just an almost exact duplicate -- but without using the original neutrons, electrons and protons...etc. The problem is really that the electronic signal could be duplicated and reduplicated hence multiple copies could be created with or without my consent.

The idea of having a duplicate of me floating around would be problematic. What if my boss or some evil crime lord would create another me and enslaved / exploited my copy? An identity legal crisis ensured to follow, as daily lives would have to adjust to the gradually splitting personalities and to the error corrections required.

The Blade-runner comes to mind as it would become necessary to hunt down renegades and the possibility of a mixed up would be equally horrible to the originals and humanity in general.

OK.

Just don't ask me to help you out in the Beta Testing.

Converting matter into energy is how the Atom bomb works. Just think about how much electromagnetic energy we would produce during the conversion. And how much it would take to convert back.

the info is not SENT it is encoded, sent, and RECONSTRUCTED. so if we are able to travel through waves, we would encode ourselves, send, and, when another "us" was constructed at the destination, delete the original. Otherwise, there would be many many clones ....

We will have to learn how to manipulate the spaces between space/time so we can just teleport.

Matter IS electromagnetic energy if you pull it apart deeply enough. But a human is not merely matter. What of the mind, the spirit? Can that be transported?
