    But if that’s how it works, how can we account for the duplication scenarios? The matter for the duplicate would have to come from somewhere. I think it’s more likely to be that the information for construction is trasmitted, especially with how often they use the concept of the tranportation buffer. But they dont ever specify I dont think so it’s all speculation

          The problem is we’re taking about something that’s physically impossible in our universe. So at some point it breaks down…

          That’s why they have a magical device called a Heisenberg compensator. To remove quantum effects from the universe…which is obviously impossible.

        The point in question is whether the matter/energy is directly transported and used to reconstitute someone, or if the information for reconstitution is transmitted and local matter used to reconstitute the thing being transported. A “ship of theseus”-esque query
