So we can’t teleport ourselves, but can we teleport the air around us, creating differences in air pressure to allow Superman-style flight?
It sounds more like Mary Poppins than Superman, but you’re welcome to try.
Liposuction.
We could use the teleporter as a perfect sterilization device. Just transport the object to be sterilized an infinitesimal distance and every germ, virus, bacteria, or other living vermin is killed.
Then you have a thing with gazillions of tiny potentially toxic corpses on it.
Cooked or irradiated food isn’t toxic. Now, I guess if the teleporter magically rearranges the atoms in each cell into poison, sure, that would be bad.
Unless it’s contaminated with elephants, but you’d probably notice that.
But actually, the AI is precise enough just to teleport the pathogens away from the object, leaving it sterile.
Obviously, this would be a boon to the Life-Sized Elephant Statue industry. And the Life-Sized Elephant-Shaped Room industry, but that’s not such a big industry. YET.
Some surgeries just got a whole lot less invasive.
Cancerous tumor? Gone! Simultaneously teleport in an appropriate quantity of saline or other filler material to prevent damage from the cavitation collapsing.
Knee or hip replacement? transport out the damaged joint and parts that have to be removed to fit the prosthetic. Walk out in 15 minutes. Anesthesia only required to alleviate stress.
International drug transportation got a whole lot less costly (on both sides) and less deadly (no need for so many middle men who dilute, adulterate the product).
Another medical breakthrough would be the simplification of dialysis.
Might even be able to 3D print a collagen framework directly into place to promote healing of the original joint. Living cells won’t survive the trip, but proteins will.
It’s a supply and demand thing. The limited availability of life size elephant shaped rooms is stifling the market right now.
