Reading these threads, I am reminded of a short story I once read, where we invented transporters, but every time you went through one, a copy stepped out, and left you in this weird limbo world, like in The Langoliers. You couldn’t actually eat or drink anything, so transportees became cannibals, and killed and ate newcomers.
