  • Yeah, that really depends on how they define warp bubbles in the universe then, cause it'd imply the transmission occurs between ships faster than light

    Maybe something like the receiving ship trails behind the sending, exact same course just at a distance where light leaving the warp bubble would 'fall' that exact y distance over the time it takes to travel the distance between them in the x distance. It'd also still limit their distance even within their own space bubble

    Then it'd make sense cause any course deviation would cause them to 'miss' and again travel through the infinite cosmos as energy.

    Thinking about it it also describes those thematic sparkles that happen when they teleport, cause what were seeing is essentially the existence of that person as light.

    edit: forgot to say thanks for the comliment! I definitely am gonna have to watch the show(s) soon!

  • OK I'm not even a Trekkie but I was doing some elecromag homework and I have a really cool theory on this:

    The teleporter thingy actually acts more like a guitar pickup, in a more E=mc^2 type of way, entirely perfectly converting the person into energy - not matter. (This would require an analog encoding from matter to energy). The biggest difference is the pickup totally uses up the entire person, so like if you strum a guitar and it converts to a perfect electrical wave (but the guitar goes mute).

    This energy is a lot easier to transfer than just matter, but the person encoded within it still only exists once in that energy. (for the guitar analogy a speaker at the other end that picks up the guitar wave, and turns it back into sound)

    Its then entirely used up to power the 'person builder' in an analog way, much more accurately than were able to recreate digitally (aka why tape record are the truest form of music recording we have, it accutate to a way smaller scale than we can capture digitally.)

    This would then mean that we can't just duplicate the creation process, cause the energy only flowed into the machine one time in that exact fashion, and duplicating it would require knowledge of every single atom in a person; then a way to accurately recreate that energy waveform to power the machine.

    This also opens the possibility of the transporter 'missing' if somehow they moved faster than the speed of light, while the person was still being transported, and them being just a flash of light endlessly propagating throughout the void.

    Idk if the things have range in the series, but it could also be that the angle a transporter can accurately capture that energy is limited, and so really far away things are too large to be able to accurately capture (unless you have a massive radar dish or something alike)

  • Depends on how you use it, if you just use it in place of finding repetition, it just means that our current way ain't the mathematically best and AI can find better lol.

    If you tried to "compress" a book into chatgpt tho yeah it'd probably be pretty lossy

  • I think youre mixing up importance with being everything, gnu is insanely important and has had a lot of positive effects - but that doesn't make it my second wife any more than it makes it an OS. its a software foundation at the end of the day.

    This even includes the linux-libre, its not all of gnu like all of gnu isn't an os, one could extend the same idea to the KDE foundation too

  • Ah but simple hydrogen atoms you might be right, what about helium and higher?? You can recognize their identity, and they were not initially there - a time dependent (and repeatable) process made them.

    But I suppose I disagree evolution requires a genetic identity, as that is by definition biological, and so yeah atoms ain't gonna make that criteria

    (but atoms did make the cells that rearrange the atoms, sure a hell of a lot more randomness, but they took the time to get there - evolution without direction esque)
