What would happen if teleportation was real? Would humans get killed while being teleported? 

Teleportation is quite challenging. It necessitates mastery of numerous complex quantum physics principles, even in its most basic version. Just picture entering a transporter and travelling thousands of kilometres in seconds! It would take a genuinely tremendous amount of computing power to transport a full person.

However, teleportation is a real phenomenon that has been tested in laboratories. Although all they are doing in these instances is teleporting the spin states of certain electrons or atoms, it is proof of concept, which is all we require to begin posing some significant concerns.

If it were a human, you wouldn’t just magically transport it from one location to another. The person would be destroyed and reduced to molecules in one location, then spontaneously moved their molecules to another and rebuilt. You are killed during teleportation.

So, it is clear that teleportation can be the worst torture for a human body or even a suicide mission to take on! Let’s discuss all the aspects to understand how teleportation can kill individuals or even entire humanity.

Earth’s Movement Can Interfere With Teleportation

Let’s imagine you possess the same ability Nightcrawler did in the X-Men. In the comics, he enters another dimension before leaping to the final location. Additionally, his power only spans a few kilometres.

In the actual world, though, this would result in a very uncomfortable circumstance. Even while the jump only lasts a split second, the Earth will nonetheless leave behind dozens of kilometres in this short period.

Let me remind you that the Earth revolves around the Sun at a speed of 30 km per second. So, teleporting superpowers would transport you to a neighbouring city instead of an adjoining room, at best, and outer space or deep under the land surface, at worst!

How can we solve this issue? If you want to use this superpower in real life without getting in trouble, you’ll need to carry a unique supercomputer with you. This machine will assist you in predicting the precise position of the Earth at any point in time and fine-tuning your jumps.

But what if you want to jump further than just a few kilometres? Say, across the Equator. Your journey would be ruined by inertia because the Earth doesn’t only revolve around the Sun but rotates on a fixed axis too. It means that the planet’s surface, along with humans, trees, and buildings, is in constant rotational motion.

Because the teleportation superpower doesn’t imply the ability to slow down instantaneously, you might hit the nearest wall faster than an F1 car due to the Equatorial Moment of Inertia. Therefore, in addition to the navigational supercomputer, you will also want a powerful jetpack to aid in slowing down and teleportation to a location above the Earth’s surface. Furthermore, you’ll need a parachute to fly down to the surface, which will take a while!

I realize this isn’t how you imagined teleportation to function, but hey, sci-fi movies offer some other ways for you to use this power.

Teleportation Through Special Dimensional Gates

This concept comes from the Stargate movie and also Doraemon’s Pass-Through Hoop. In the film, the characters used to travel through portals that aliens had built all around the galaxy. The problem lies here. If you want to get anywhere using such gates, they should already exist at the point of arrival.

Flight to another galaxy could take thousands of light-years, which is not desirable. So, let us build such gates here on Earth so we can dash between resorts whenever we want. These are known as stationary portals.

Albert Einstein proved the possibility of inter-dimensional movement back in 1935. Wormholes can connect two points in space-time located very far from each other. To create one of these, you won’t need much – produce more energy than comes from the Sun.

Let’s use an ultra-powerful fusion reactor to create a wormhole. Will it all work out? I’m afraid not because if you try to enter it, a wormhole will either irradiate you or explode with the force of an atomic bomb! Isn’t it terrifying?

But who knows if one of your atoms might indeed reach some of the resorts you have dreamt of. Even if you put on some extra protective armour to save you from all these things, a small wormhole will have the properties of a black hole. You will be spaghettified in a second, and trust me; you won’t enjoy this process.
