I was talking about cosmic-ray-induced bit-flips in the You Game recently, and I just came across this nice video on the subject:

Maybe the Science topic should have Cosmic Rays as its next theme?
Lol, I remember this came into the limelight again when a Mario 64 speedrunner mysteriously teleported and that was the only viable explanation.
On that teleportation/essence of self note, there's no reason why reconstructing your body out of different particles (or identical entangled ones?) at a different location isn't scientifically sound outside of it basically being witchcraft to modern science, but it seems like a really bad idea until we figure out what the heck consciousness is, if that's even possible, and logically speaking an observer would have no idea if the consciousness had even transferred, or what that even means, or,
god it's so weird.
A síneadh fada indicates a long vowel, not an aspiration!
One can imagine someone painstakingly transcribing all that gibberish, imagining that it's full of meaning! And then of course the corrections are nowhere near as neat 
But then, if we don't think about it because we think it'll never be possible, then someday someone actually figures out a way of doing it, I guess we'll wish we'd thought about it!
