Fine.
Leave me alone with a garage full of flaming/flying/smoking/LASERing simiams.
I’ll make out fine, no problem!
:rolleyes:
I have dispatched a team of flying robot sharks to deal with the monkeys. No charge, but as the sharks lack fingers you will have to deal with the cleanup your ownself.
(my bolding)
I’d never thought about this. Replicators and trasporter are related technologies.
If you could transport it, replicating it would not be that difficult.
I hope your code in the node gets better soon… have a tissue…
This wasn’t brought up in Star Trek (just a scientific answer), but if the transporter is reproducing quantum states of particles in people’s bodies, it would be susceptible to the No-Cloning Theorem, which says that if you produce a copy of a quantum state, you must destroy the original.
Christ, now I have to buy an industrial strength shop vac?
Don’t sharks eat things?
Dude, they’re SHARKS. Of course they eat stuff, but they don’t have thumbs. Or fingers. Or for that matter palms. They’re messy. Just be glad they’re programmed not to eat anything with 23 chromosome pairs.
And let me guess, humans and flying monkeys have 23 pairs, right?
Humans have 23 pairs. Howler monkeys have 22, I think. Obviously I don’t need to send any flying robot sharks after you, as you are apparently under attack by the flaming monkeys. That would not be a good use of my resources, and flying robot shark fuel is expensive.
Dude’s garage is full of self-cooking monkeys and monkey brains, and he’s bitching about it.
Y’all come on down, bring a big shop vac and barbecue sauce.
You could fanwank an explainantion. One of the Rikers was pulled from a near identical alternate universe. Way more identical than the mirror universe or the reboot universe, at least before Riker got pulled away. Now they the prime universe has two Rikers and that alt universe has none.
So…the prime universe lost a bet, right?
I like to do the “Riker Head Tilt” at people.
Makes me seem important yet humble.
user name!
Band name!
Yip. It’s the only way traveling to the mirror universe sense. Heck, the conditions that caused both malfunctions were pretty similar. It just makes sense that, in the other universe, they failed to get him back.
Still doesn’t work for the DS9 episode, though.
Hey, that’s neat.
So is that stating that it is not possible to duplicate a consciousness, I wonder?
I shouldn’t think so. I see no reason to think that consciousness is an emergent feature of neurobiology.
That’s one of my core beliefs. Different strokes, I guess.
