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.
This is [still] science fiction.
I hope they figure out how to multiplex the stream, because there are 10^(27), or over a septillion molecules in the human body, so it’s gonna be a long process doing them single file.
And this may be why it'll remain science fiction for quite some time or forever (depending on the true rules of physics). Even if you could represent each molecule with one photon (or one whatever unit, and you can't, you might need millions to represent some molecules), and even if you can transmit at the speed of light (in theory the fastest possible), it will take a LOT of time to "transmit" all that digitally. And keep in mind, it isn't just the molecules that have to be represented, the EXACT position, orientation, and connections of EACH molecule needs to also be represented. Furthermore, the EXACT configuration must be "recorded" instantly, so it can all be put back together correctly, because molecules are constantly moving around the body. And this is yet another reason why it may never be possible ... because nothing can be done instantly (speed of light constraint again, etc). I've thought deeply about this stuff over the last 5 plus decades having been a science fiction aficionado all my life.
