    I feel we’ll figure out teleportation before anti gravity, which is to say probably never.

      Teleportation seems theoretically feasible. Record the position of the cells and state of various neurotransmitter chemicals, throw the body in a wood chipper, transmit the data, 3d print new body at new location.

        I would not want to be involved in working the bugs out of that. Even after they get it to the point where it almost never produces two-headed mice in testing.

        And I would be one of the few people who wouldn’t go on vacation and would have to refuse must jobs because of some absurd believe that even if a copy of me is made after I’m dead, that’s irrelevant for me since that’s still not me and I don’t want to die.

        Or maybe I would take the teleporter as an alternative to suicide, and whoever would take on my life wasn’t me, so my problems where their now.

          In effect you die every night when you lose consciousness. While unconscious, your brain stores long term memories and that rewires your mind slightly. Some things are discarded. You wake up a different person.

    It’s fair. Whiff of AI summarization, gives some idea of what’s been proposed over the century and that most is crank. Mentions the asymmetric propulsion that I thought NASA had briefly funded. Talks a lot how awesome it would be IF…

    I used to see conspiracy/alien tech BS involving electrification of mercury resulting in Anti-Gravitation effects and I have always just wanted to see this experimentation actually performed because it sounds pretty simple and if it actually worked, why hasn’t anyone who believed it tried it out?

    Without clicking on it, on a scale of 1 to Deepak, how much crank bullshit is this?

    If it cites Tesla, I’m out. That one is a very reliable crank physics red flag.

      It’s a very interesting excursus of all the research, patents and theories that history has seen.

      It is probably the opposite of what you think it is.

      I recommend it.
