As to be expected the comments on this video are very spirited. There are people on all sides of the argument. One commenter Philip had this to say to those who assume we are capable of measuring everything in a material way:
As was probably mentioned, the big question mark in all this is the assumption of philosophical naturalism/materialism. Naturalism/materialism is near impossible to rationally defend, and if that’s the case, then building any sort of teleportation device will, sadly, be impossible. Though it is fun to think about!
Feel free to comment on this and if you think it is absolutely preposterous or if you have a different opinion. Either way we hope you have fun watching the video.

I always wonder…if teleportation could work, would you still be you? Would the actual YOU cease to exist and what comes out on the other side is just a copy of you, who would not even know that they are NOT you??? f**k
I think I understood that so that must mean it can’t happen lol
Star Trek type molecular teleportation which requires a system to deconstruct and reconstruct something from an atomic scale may be possible for non-living matter (we already do this with 3D printers on a higher scale)…but living organisms…I don’t think so. The system would have to capture the electrical activity of every neuron, every cell, etc…
But something like a stargate wormhole would be a whole other matter…Windows through subspace.

it is true its like a fax machine.i saw something like this on the beltsville agriculture center and its possible!
It would only work if you could open a direct doorway.
We’ve only scratched the surface of scientific knowledge.
watching to much tv.
With matter, as we conceptualize it, it seems one has to be destroyed to be remade on the other end of this process. So you would be killed and a separate you would be created. BUT…that is with matter. The brain is matter, but the mind is energy; electricity. If this can be done, I think it’s likely that it would be our Consciousness that could make the trip but not our bodies. So you would need a biological avatar created and waiting at the receiving end.
Keep sreading that truth bro. Really, with how irrationally skeptical some are, you’d think they believe that the future itself is a hoax. They don’t seem to understand this logical fact.
Lol the very comment below your own makes my point. People PAINFULLY misconcieve and associate ‘fiction’ with ‘impossible’
Star Trek communicators were fiction 50 years ago.
