Published: Nov. 2, 2023, 3:23 a.m.

What would the world be like if we could instantly teleport to different places and parts of the world in seconds? How might it work and what impact would it have on society? What kinds of questions does it raise about the identity of the teleported entity?\n\nIn this week\u2019s episode, we discuss teleportation. We explain how teleportation could theoretically work and discuss matter manipulation, 3D printers, Hisenberg\u2019s Uncertainty Principle, Tsar Bomba, anti-matter, energy requirements, the history of transportation, Derek Parfit\u2019s Teleportation Paradox and on-demand streaming services. Finally, we discuss our most memorably awful travelling experiences.\n\nA few things we mentioned in this podcast:\n\n- Collisions of Light Produce Matter/Antimatter from Pure Energy https://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=119023 \n- Teletransportation Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletransportation_paradox \n- To infinity and beyond: Teleporting humans into space https://phys.org/news/2013-07-infinity-teleporting-humans-space.html \n\nFor more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com\n\nImage: Jason Jacobs via Flickr
