Apparently we can already do it, a gram of dna can store 215 petabytes and we can encode to dna at 18Mbps.

Gonna be a long upload.

You just made me curious and we're not alone in wondering

To have a scanner that can record the position of every atom in the body to an accuracy of the order of the size of a hydrogen atom would require position accuracy of about 10-10 meters. To get that accuracy over a distance of order 1 meter, this would require 30 decimal digits, which would be about 100 binary digits per atom. However, there would be a lot of redundancy in this data, so let’s be optimistic and assume you could compress this down to 1 bit per atom, so we still need approximately 1027 bits of data to just specify the positions of all the atoms in a human body. According to Wikipedia (Exabyte), the approximate data storage capacity of all the computers and storage devices in the world today is roughly 1 zettabyte = 1021 bytes = 1022 bits. Therefore, the data for the scan of one human would require at least 10,000 times the total storage of all the data stored on Earth right now.

From what I know of sci-fi, teleportation is often a machine that scans, destroys, and replicates the particles in your body at a secondary location.

So if we could figure out scanning and printing at the atomic scale, with zero defects, and pair it with sending information at near instant speeds via quantum teleportation, we could have a teleporter.

How’s quantum teleportation work in this universe? Because that’s apparently a thing already.

Sorry not sure if you’re playing along or unsure. Just in case.

Ghost = no body = nobody.

Sounds like a nobody problem to me.

Reading this must be what dyslexia feels like.

It’s Mickey Mouss. Just his style from Steamboat Willie, not the more modern look.

Pretty sure slavery is illegal. Checkmate Tolkein.

Walt Disneys Mickey Mouse sure is a fun public domain character to use.

I sure hope no one makes any cheap merchandise and cuts into large corporate profits.

You only changed your seat, you’re still on the same bus.

Deceptichum, to asklemmy in Beyond Wikipedia, what are some of your favorite online learning resources?
@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

Oh that sounds horrible, thank you for letting me know where to avoid as I had no idea.

Opinion: Make shows as long as they need to be to tell their story or joke or whatever.

Deceptichum, to asklemmy in What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

That’s generally frowned on.
