The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

<<Ah. So you are bearish on the development of teleportation? Or at least on bulk teleportation?

A megaton of nuclear weapon yield is about 47 grams of mass converted to energy. (Yes, the reality is more complicated, but humor me.) A short ton is 907185 grams. So if we convert that into energy for teleportation and there is a failure, we've just unleashed, 19,000+ megatons of yield. That's going to put a hurting on everything within line of sight. So yes, I'm bearish on teleportation.>>

this is how teleportation would work in the future: many physical stuffs including biological beings could be digitized, transported electronically, and reconstructed at the receiving end.
