Thanks for the info. although I still don't think substitution level exists.
If teleportation of human beings is real (I hope I can see it in my life),
I think all biggest questions (such as consciousness, soul? Creator? the
origin of the universe, meaning of life ... etc.)
of this universe should have been solved.

Thanks.
