The Teletransporter Paradox

The Teletransporter Paradox arises from the concept of teleportation, where one's atoms are scanned and transmitted to another location, reassembled there. The paradox questions whether the original person still exists after teleportation. If the original is destroyed to create the copy, is the copy truly the same person, or merely a replica? This highlights philosophical issues about identity, consciousness, and continuity of self. In essence, if a teleported version of you exists, is it still you, or have you been replaced? It challenges our understanding of what it means to be "you" in a physical and existential sense.
