Okay so in most cases, teleportation is instantaneous. But if you tamper with the disassembler, now can "teleport" yourself to a new location while the old you is still there. Now there's 2 bodies that look like you. So which one is you. Does your consciousness shift into the new body or stay with the old one? Or does your conciousness control both bodies?
Seeing as this is all theoretical then surely the answer is just to invent it so that moves the original you instead of copying it? What is consciousness?
