When Someone Finally Invents A Teleportation Machine
69 Answers
Which cautionary measures can we take to make sure that the real threat seen on the film "Th Fly" doesn't happen? Not only at the insect level but the more frightening bacteria level as if a human dna mixes with a deadly bacteria or viruses dna this could spell the end of mankind as we know it as then we'd have a a giant virus/bacteria capable of pro creating intentionally and with the iq of what could be a genius.
So how could we best avoid this?

I don't think this is anything to worry about and in fact based on how teleportation machines are likely to work it's not even a threat full stop.
In order to teleport something, you would one way or another measure the "quantum state" of the system, and then transmit that measure elsewhere. This isn't going to be a direct measurement, but would be done using the properties of entanglement. The technical details of how this work don't overly matter for now, but the end result is that the teleportation machine measures something and, critically, what it measures will be radically different for a fly sitting on a human from what it would measure if the fly and human were to merge in some way.
Moreover there is no risk of the information decaying from the one state to the other (or, at least, one can safely assume that this risk is negligible). The result is that if a working teleportation machine were ever built it would almost certainly not lead to such bizarre scenarios as a "super-intelligent virus".
Quite apart from that, the practical chances of building such a machine are vanishingly small, at least for the foreseeable future, so that everyone here will be long gone anyway.

Interesting. So are we in agreement that the best thing to do for the future of mankind would be not to let this monstrosity of an idea of the ground in the first place using any means necessary?
What exactly should be done with the The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and with all due respect if you're in the dark at exactly what this machine does/is capable of then you have a lot of research to do as we can assure you that 99% of the public are unaware of it's true purpose/potential.
