I've been thinking about this problem since you first mentioned it to me a
few days ago, Michael. I would have answered except that your message was
downloaded onto another computer of mine (I've been out of town since then,
working on another of my computers). I planned to answer it the next time I
returned to my other computer so that I could quote your original properly
(sorry I've been too lazy to pull it from the web archives :-)
Here for now is my brief and tentative answer:
First of all I think the conundrum you pose is not real in the way you think
it is. We need to remember that the universe is quantized *only in relation
to an observer*. I think then that we must look at things from the
perspective of the subject being teleported. The teleportation subject is
the
observer/experimenter. Given the proper measurement instruments, the
subject's experience of the world would be quantized according to Planck's
constant, including his experience of time.
I do not believe it correct to state that "the entire universe is destroyed
and recreated simultaneously," because this option makes no account of an
observer, but of your two choices above I believe this is the more accurate
description. Due to the central role of the observer, one could say that
*his* entire measured universe is quantized, lock in step.
