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? 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 any false modesty as Dr Boob did it all himself) here.
