You would perceive the distended space you travel through as comprising the speed of the journey itself, and consequently you wouldn't personally perceive any convenience in the act. The continuity of your consciousness creates the gap and bridges it in your conscious experiences.

It is in essence the same as walking all that distance, but you arrive much faster than you would otherwise.

The simple novelty and entertainment of riding a car, bus, plane, train, or horse cart becomes the value of the travel itself. Well worth the time and cost involved.

The vehicle could even move at the same speed, providing the convenience of apparent teleportation as well as the entertainment of having something to do besides walk and look at the infinite expanses of nothing you are instantaneously passing through.

It would be interesting.

By dissolving you to such state and recreate at the destination, can you still say that it is actually you, not a copy of yourself?

what about when you play a games/movies that has transportation in it...
arent we tricking are brains already...

the matrix game/movies... borderlands 2...

every digestive cycle raises the same problem.

all of my cells are replaced, am I still myself after or before I've eaten my lunch? there are things replaced or altered very slowly, and I can center myself on these things, but I find myself delaying the point.

if I accept that there is some skeletalized version of my body that does not change, then my mind and consciousness must also have such an attribute...or else the question is itself flawed. I am the same replacement person either way, at any speed.

Teleportation with a machine that transfers all of your atoms to one location to the next seems a bit risky to me. Imagine if the machine malfunctions and only half of me is teleported.

Teleportation does not require destruction and restructuring the body, especially in a fake ass world like the Earth realm.

Only needs to change a few variables of the object you wanna transport.

In this matrix, everything is quantifiable and has a numeric value. Every location (and moment) also has a value. Change the value of the object and it will stop being where it is and end up where its new value determines it should be.

You can think of it like a mathematics table. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Each has specific position. If you alter an object, for example 3. Add 2 to it, it becomes 5. The object will also move its position from between 2 and 4 to move between 4 and 6.

Everything is really made up of empty space anyway, so no need to destroy the body. With new energetics, the body will just permeate to the place it should be. When 2 objects end up on top of each-other - they just sort of vibrate/slide till they are each in their own unique position to express their full energetic pattern.

there would have to be some signaling and error-correction system, such that a flawed outcome is identified and rolled back. consequently, every teleportation becomes duplication; multiple copies of the self are being generated and held in arreas until it can be verified you are whole.

our process of sociality and altering our personalities is fundamentally the same process. we generate multiple selves, multiple persnalities and algorithmic responses to stimuli, and try to choose the best versions of ourselves for the moment.

but these flawed and varied versions of ourselves are not our 'true self,' anymore than the data backup the teleportation device makes is.

If I teleport, and I expel gas on arrival from a stomach ache I was having, and I feel better afterwards, am I still the same self? or am I literally less?

if I have a foreign object in my body, and remove it, am I less? am I less for it being there, more, or the same?

is a genetic disorder and the consequent personality an error, or simply one of my flaws? can a teleporation accident make me more? could I become superhuman, and if so will I identify more with my limited self than my new one?

could the teleporter make me full of gas, when before I was not?

i'd rather stay in one piece and do something like the Contact movie...
jump in a ball and travel the universe in a few seconds...

if you found yourself in a travelball and were moving at light speed, but perceiving it as a relatively normal speed that will take as long as it would otherwise have taken to your eyes, you'd probably want to be asleep for it anyway. even if you don't age.

All science/technical-based approaches to teleportation in literature are based on a copy & kill system.

There are over a dozen of novels dealing with the subject, you can find several reddit groups discussing those in the broader context.

well thats the other travel concept...
sleep in suspended animation til you
reach the destination and just wake
up when you get there as if you left a minute ago...

All the real life versions of teleportation (that I know of) are based on frequency modulation.
What I sorta explained earlier. If you quantify the exact value of an object then there is only 1 possible location where that object can be according to the value of the object. Changing the value of an object changes its position relative to every other object in existence.

A very interesting question.

Science has already come close to creating a molecular constructor. Any molecular structures will soon be possible to create from a set of molecules. So far, this has been implemented fragmentarily and partially, but such devices will probably appear soon.

That is, to move in space, a person will need to be disassembled layer by layer into atoms and this information will be transmitted to the destination, where the molecular constructor will reassemble the person from atoms.

that's how light speed or faster than light travel would seem as well.

that or an infinitely stretching expanse that suddenly ends when you arrive, however long you are there perceiving this stasis.

most would rather sleep through an experience like that.
