Star Trek transporters have always had some seemingly problematic aspects to them. For example, if transporters work the way supposed by this video, why not just make lots and lots of clones all day? A real device like this might be more accurately considered "the duplication machine", but in-universe, there's a clear difference between transporters and replicators which isn't fully understood.

There's an episode of Next Generation that makes the transporter question much, much more complicated. In one episode Lt Barclay admits to never having used a transporter and being terrified of doing so, largely because of the concerns raised here, and is promptly peer-pressured into doing so by Counsellor Troy. The way this episode muddies the water it that when Barclay uses the transporter, the camera-angle 'follows' him through. We see him remain fully conscious throughout the entire experience. Later in the episode he even interacts with other entities during transportation and manages to pull something out of the beam upon rematerialising. Bizarrely, the question of death raised here doesn't work, because transporters are canonically not a break in consciousness on any level.

Ok so if beds are suicide boxes then transporters are just naps.

There was this novel where magic functioned, but it functioned in a way that was the most natural to the magician. So there was an ardent Trekkie who transported himself into various places - but splitting himself into atoms and reassembling them at the destination. Then there was a disaster, which resulted in him being haunted by all the ghosts of his previous copies. They weren't appeased by the fact that they had, in fact, committed their suicides themselves.

And what happens is not a "break in consciousness" but the creation of an entirely separate and possibly coexisting stream of consciousness. Those are two very different things, especially when you consider that consciousness is inextricably linked to the physical brain.

The sleep argument just doesn't do it for me, the continuous bioelectrical system that essentially is who you are never stops functioning, dreams are a thing, and the molecules are more or less the same.

surely, though, we are not our consciousnesses. we are not just our meaty neuron brains, we are the complex systems of signalling and generating the goop and chemical soups that helps make up the brain as well. let us take a stronger example of the loss of consciousness, a strongman, which we will defeat. say a brick hits you in the head and the trauma causes you to lose consciousness for several hours. none of the soup leaks out, the brain damage is barely detectable, and you feel and act the same as you did before, minus the sensitive bruising. Sure, some of your neurons may have died, but apparently they weren't doing much since you have no loss or change of function or feeling. From this we must conclude that this particular traumatic brain injury did not end your existence and birth a new existence later, as all the parts are the same, the system is almost entirely unchanged, all the mechanisms and systems were left intact. Obviously, if injury by neccesity does not birth a new being and kill the old one, then neither can sleep. Transporting, though? That's all author's intent, and the authors originally didn't care enough to point out how the transporter works. It certainly isn't a suicide box. You don't get to go in three decades later and declare how things work with new writers. Authors were well aware that matter = energy = matter, that is, you are not "disintegrated" or damaged by the transporter. You are converted from one form to another, and then converted back (just in a different spot). You don't "charge" a battery, you BECOME the battery. You LIVE in the battery, for a tenth of a second. Or a thousandth of a second. Depends on which episode you're in. The franchise is stuffed full of sapient beings made entirely of energy or thought or pure emotion or silicon, beings routinely convert themselves from meat into energy or from energy into silicon or from emotion into meat in a very rude attempt to take over the Enterprise, and by the end of the episode everything is back to normal like it never happened.

TNG Season 6 Episode 24 did explore this. Basically showing the duplication process. But the buffer was never flushed. That sure makes it seem like if it makes a copy, the original is eliminated. The Prestige though showed it definitively, and left the audience to ponder the "cost".

What really gets is that starting with TNG on replicators and transporters use the same visual and sound effects. They're the same technology. Either that means the replicators are transporting that replicated food from somewhere else (doubtful with the ep of DS9 where some but not all replicators are infected), or transporters are just giant replicators that destroy you the way they do dishes after dinner and replicates a new you at the destination.

@lukelee5385

As far as I understand it, there is nothing in canon that confirms replicators and transporters are the same technology, otherwise you will have some serious problems: 1. The crews are always transporting dilithium and special medicine using transporters, despite they were shown to be non-replicable; 2. Replicated food are not as tasty as cooking through traditional methods, while transporters are supposed to create a sub-atomic-accurate copy; 3. Klingons and Ferengi go through great trouble to obtain and keep Gagh and Tube Grubs, indicating replicators cannot replicate living things at all; Star Trek is never big on consistency, but I still think it is much more plausible they are similar, but distinctive technologies.

@caramelldansen2204

I think the idea is that the _part_ of the transporter / replicator design that (re)assembles the molecules is what they have in common; where a transporter (I think) directly receives a stream of molecules, a replicator turns energy into matter and then passes that stream of molecules to the assembly part. Then again, it probably doesn't work that way because of the double-Kirk...

Hello! I have the rather rare honour of being one of Cutty Sark's three shipkeepers (basically meaning we stop it from falling to bits). Appropriately enough, before the fire, she was undergoing a major conservation project - this involved the ship being disassembled, almost all of her wooden structure taken off site, so that the iron framework within could have remedial work done to it. When the infamous fire broke out, almost all the wooden bits of ship were safely stuffed away in Chatham, and were then returned to the somewhat-melty iron skeleton months later. So interestingly enough, she was disassembled, her component bits moved to another location, then the same original bits reassembled in their prior location. Somewhat different to disassembly at a molecular level, but still philosophically interesting. One day we'll add warp engines. If I have my way.

I think that isn’t scary at all - the Transporter is way less scary then. We just fall asleep, and as we aren’t conscious about us sleeping IN our sleep, we won’t be conscious about our „death“ neither.

This is exactly the video that encapsulates my often insomnia and sleep terrors that I’ve been having since I started falling asleep with Star Trek playing back in 2014. It’s the reason why I sometimes wake up in absolute terror during a nap, or during the night and experience such a grief that is immeasurable. Swamp man has been a solid paranoia of mine for years now. The question is, how does one break free and stop caring? How does one sleep soundly knowing they, the you, may very well not exist the following day? Ignorance is bliss and I wish I was dumber.

@pureos4372

Just because something can't be known with absolute certainty doesn't mean the likelihood of one thing over the other isn't vastly more likely. Both philosophy and neuroscience have considered this question and both conclude it is far more likely that our current 'self' does survive sleep and sedation. The reason is that the fundamental substrate of your consciousness (the brain) never ceases to function in these states. Consciousness doesn't really exist in the way most people think it does, it is simply a product of the brain's function and the aspect of consciousness we experience is awareness. Awareness does cease (sort of) when you sleep or are sedated, but that doesn't mean consciousness is destroyed and then recreated upon waking unlike the transporter, this is where the two situations are distinct. If we postulate that consciousness is destroyed and recreated upon sleeping and waking then there has to be a process in the brain by which this is happening that is detectable. No such process has ever been detected. Again, you can never be absolutely certain that this is true. But you can sleep soundly knowing that the neuroscientists and philosophers who are the best equipped to give a reasonable answer to this question do not worry about dying when they go to sleep.

I had the same exact panic moment. I found a "workaround" to reinsure myself. I consider we're living in a multiverse with endless possibility but with only ONE consciousness allowed to exist. What does it mean is that, everytime I should have died, my consciousness instead "jumps" into the universe where I actually survived, making that "night aneurysm" a thing I'm certain of surviving. It's not flawless but I try to tell myself it just needs peaufining, but might be close to what's really happening.

They is something often overlooked in this. They transport more matter than just what makes you. The reason is pattern degradation. Even a short range transport can result in some misplaced matter, a little or a lot. So it is best to recognize the Transporter as a Ship if Theseus. Every time you transport, most of you comes out the other side. But sometimes a little or a lot is missing, the extra matter is then configured to fill the gap. Thus like the ship of Theseus, it reassembled you the system of matter in a specific way, mostly using your base matter, with some replacement added where needed. But what about the ruler twin? Well this is the Cuddy. Pre-transport riker is very likely only partially there, the transporter chief needed to lock in a second transporter beam, meaning more energy and matter. The first beam however stabalized and first riker is assembled from mostly his own bits and info with some extra bits fit to the info as needed. Then what is second riker? The cuddy, the second beam with a full human of extra matter reflects down and the pattern info assembled it into a new riker. This is similar to what happens to Scotty in the eps with the stain sphere. They hook up extra matter to the pattern to materialize Scotty. Ultimately, this isn’t a question with an answer because the answer depends on unquantifiable elements.

I few years ago there was a show on the national radio, they had as a guest a language philosopher. The final question to him by the host was "Is there a concept of linguistic philosophy that you would call wrong?" what seemed odd and unexpected, but the philosopher answered immediately and the response struck me, so I remembered it: "Yes, the word for "me", because it makes you feel like you are an object. It would be much more accurate to consider the "me" being a process". It blew my mind, because I taught of myself as a person, that gets older with time and does some stuff meanwhile.

Turning a person in a precise quantum measurement will necessarily destroy the original and turning that signal into a person can happen only once.

A high school friend of mine during the '70s original Star Trek years pointed out to me the complete dud the whole concept of transporting was. He quite rightly noted that Roddenberry and all other Trek people forgot that whatever matter is in the place someone is transported to must make way for that someone. If it is air that is there, the act of your being beamed to that spot would mean that air has got to go somewhere. So as you arrived, the air would whoosh out rapidly in all directions. That would happen as well in the transporter room when crew are returning to the Enterprise -- Scotty would get blown over when he energizes to beam three or four crew members back. Of course, this could be avoided by having the matter in the space where the crew members are going to be simultaneously transported back to the Enterprise to make room for them. This would make the device an "exchanger," rather than a "transporter." My friend was spot on to have noted what everyone else missed. Thanks, Tim.

Which is why the transporter beam lasts for about 5 seconds -- to allow the air to move aside.

well they "kinda" handled this in the episode where they had to extend the teleport time due to (plot) and then find weird beings inside the stream. and they were conscious through the entire teleport, meaning that their conscious self was active through out the whole process. one part of them being taken out while also at the exact same time being put back in. (without a break in consciousness) which is the best way to handle it.

_In his book The Physics of Star Trek, after explaining the difference between transporting information and transporting the actual atoms, Krauss notes that "The Star Trek writers seem never to have got it exactly clear what they want the transporter to do. Does the transporter send the atoms and the bits, or just the bits?" He notes that according to the canon definition of the transporter the former seems to be the case, but that that definition is inconsistent with a number of applications, particularly incidents, involving the transporter, which appear to involve only a transport of information, for example the way in which it splits Kirk into two versions in the episode "The Enemy Within" or the way in which Riker is similarly split in the episode "Second Chances". Krauss elaborates that: "If the transporter carries both the matter stream and the information signal, this splitting phenomenon is impossible. The number of atoms you end up with has to be the same as the number you began with. There is no possible way to replicate people in this manner. On the other hand, if only the information were beamed up, one could imagine combining it with atoms that might be stored aboard a starship and making as many copies as you wanted of an individual."_ Above quote taken from: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_%28Star_Trek%29

To me the key is the existence of replicators. From this we know that there is technology to assemble new matter using just energy and information. Therefore, the transporter has no _need_ to be sending atoms of the transported person, and if it is, then it was only designed to do so for moral reasons. Which in turn would mean that someone in universe thought about it and concluded that only if the atoms are original, is this a genuine transport and not killing and replicating a new person. And the idea that the whole society would accept that reasoning is crazy to me. The way this question is never brought up in universe, even when malfunctions occur or by people who have transporter anxiety, which is a diagnosable disorder in Star Trek, makes me think that they all know that transporters kill you. And it has become such a deep, dark taboo, that no one dares to speak it. But they _all_ know.

Alternatively, what if there's some sort of sub-reality positional data field that a machine can just re-write? This isn't how Star Trek wrote so many of the transporter gimmick episodes, but it would solve the philosophical dilemma for another SF universe for which you want teleportation without annihilation.

When you move files in a computer, its copying the data to the new place, then marking the old place for deletion. So if you were to move the files for a sentient AI (pretty common in Star Trek, funnily enough). You'd be, in effect, transporting them in the same way with the same implications.

They can make the ‘new you’ excluding the memories that may give it any hint that you may have just died. Although, you don’t necessarily die all the time, I’m just saying, you can die and be replaced without ‘new you’ noticing a thing, like what happens in a teleporter. Basically, it doesn’t have to be a break in consciousness at all.

It presents what we know, and isn't afraid to put equal weight on what we _don't_ know, in order to raise more inconspicuous questions and inspire the viewer to think, instead of just be told what to think.

As a side note, I'd like to add that I'm not suggesting brain activity as a product or cause (depending on your belief) of consciousness during sleep is unquantifiable. I'm pointing out that it's _good_ to think outside the box and recognize that even within the range of what we know, there are things that we don't know or have trouble proving. Recognizing an uncertain conclusion is healthy and underrated, compared to treating uncertainty as falsehood, which is just being a conspiracy nut.

I am literally going to have nightmares from the life form who wakes up in my place. Thanks, Grey. Just what I needed to brighten my day. ps: My fault for watching the video; I'm (probably) not going have nightmares, and I'm not upset.

In regards to the statement about sleep being a break in consciousness, I sometimes don't have it. Normally I go to sleep and wake up, knowing that I went to sleep because of, well, the feeling of waking up, of making new memories. But sometimes I lay in bed for what seems like an hour when suddenly my alarm goes off. I know went to sleep because I'm not tired and it certainly doesn't feel like I was laying there all night. Sometimes I don't experience this for years, and other times I have it every night for a week. I understand that this may never be read by anyone by that is interested, but I wanted to write it anyway.

I experience the same from time to time and my theory is: it's a dream. We dream about owerselves lying in bed and staring at the ceiling or whatever. Lamest dream ever.

Bro! It happened to me! I was sleeping with my body facing the bed. Next second Its day time. IDK how to do it again, but it feels amazing/cool. I want to control it. It happened when I am really really tired and the moment I hit the bed I got to sleep very very fast.

I just finished watching Star Trek Enterprise and I just want to say, there is an episode that addresses this. And in the context of the Star Trek universe at least, said episode seems to prove you can still be conscious while in the pattern buffer mid transport.

+ArcadiaCv You got that right. "The coin flip" distressed me for about 5 minutes. Then I realized, there is no coin flip. There is no either-or. Both realities are 100% guaranteed. So we better get used to the idea of multiple copies of ourselves running around, because digital brain emulation IS COMMING.

Fun fact: the ship of Theseus at 2:34, if it existed, according to Plutarch, was the ship wich Theseus used to go to Crete to slay the Minotaurus. It is said that it was preserved by the athenians up to the time of Dimitrios Faliseos (hope I spelled that correctly) ~310 b.C. by replacing old wood with new.

It's March 2022 and I just fell upon this--a little late, I admit, but now I'm here. This was great! It will certainly go on my list--which is ever getting longer--of favorites.

This is Dr. McCoy's worst nightmare in a video.

Man, i was already worried about everything,I don't need another reason.

If you were to take the ending in an opposite manner, you could say that if sleep isn't something you fear for the break in consciousness, then you shouldn't fear the transporters, rather than the other way around :^)

We fear the transporter for disassembling us to atoms and then having to puzzle the pieces back to a human being.
