Hannah Fry on R4 at the moment discussing quantum/philosophy and whether every time they use the transporter beam in Star Trek they're effectively destroying the original and recreating a duplicate rather than moving the original from one space to another. That's awful! So every time they get in the teleporter they're all *murdered* and only copies of the originals exist!? Scotty is a prolific killer.

@TheBreadmonkey isn’t that basically the plot of The Prestige; the shenanigans when you *dont* destroy the original?

You'd like this book, which I remember excitedly buying when it was first released.
