Teletransportation paradox

Teleportation paradox is about what happens when you try to teleport something from one place to another. You might think that you can just magically move an object from one place to another, but it doesn't work that way.

When you try to teleport something, it involves breaking the object down into tiny particles and then sending them through some kind of energy field to the place where you want it to go. When it gets there, the particles are put back together again. The problem is that during this process, the original object is destroyed, and a new one is made in its place.

So, the teleportation paradox is that if you teleport something, it's like if you destroyed the original and made a new one in its place - you would have two versions of the same object! That's why it's called a paradox.
