This tiny submarine 2.4 miles under the sea, visiting the relics of RMS Titanic. Can it be found and the crew saved before the air runs out?

Been rich makes one do Some risky $h1t. They must have felt invincible.
If you asked some daft chavs from a poor old mining town if they’d like all expenses paid trip to the titanic they’d probably say no thanks I’m not that stupid mate. I only have sympathy for the 19 year old. It’s made for some fun memes & threads and showed future sub engineers what not to do. Leave the carbon fibre to cycling, golf, motorsport and fishing rods.

As @captain nemo1701 has said, the first has been achieved albeit at a sub-atomic level, and the maths says that the latter could potentially happen.

Just because we don't have the tech *now* doesn't mean it can't be done at some point in the future.

Although IIRC the transport of the proton actually created a duplicate rather than moving it from one place to another, so that certainly raises a rather interesting conundrum.

On warp drive, better get shifting....the Vulcans will be around in 2063.....
On beaming stuff, yes, you'd probably have to destroy the original copy whilst simultaneously duplicating it elsewhere.

Problem is, you can get evil duplicates, which cause no end of trouble: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enemy_Within_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series)

A photon is a bit different to a person

This is photonist - particles are people too you know

Yes, Photon Lives Matter too!

One test pilot has already died in a Virgin Galatic flight.
Space tourism is bound to be very dangerous. Especially if craft are reused on a fast turn around.

Christa McAuliffe was arguably a space tourist of a kind. Certainly she was an ordinary citizen and not a professional astronaut.

You try telling Jay Kay he's not a space cowboy

Neither was Harrison Schmidt - the geologist who flew on Apollo 17.

However, the difference between Harrison and Christa and the people on the Ocean Gate submersible is that the latter were purely tourists.

With Harrison, NASA finally realised that it was (to some extent) easier to turn a geologist into an astronaut rather than the other way round. Although some of the Apollo crew became proficient field geologists in their own right. Whereas Christa was part of the "Teacher in Space" programme instigated by Ronald Reagan which was aimed at inspiring kids to get into science, maths and engineering.

If it’s through quantum entanglement, won’t destroying one, destroy the other?

And Ocean Gate make/made weirs, sluices, causeways and so on?

 

[Mike_P]

And Ocean Gate make/made weirs, sluices, causeways and so on?

Probably currently wish they did.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Probably currently wish they did.

Their new sluice a la fromage will be quite the winner, they predict.

I watched it a couple of days ago and it made me a bit uneasy.......his messianic zeal and confidence reminded me of Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos.

The latter of which is currently being detained in the US version of His Majesty's Pleasure.

At least you can get out of jail.
