Explain the morph ball to me

Explain the morph ball to me.

Magic

It's simple: Two plates that house the suit's cooling units pop off, Samus is condensed into pure energy, and the plates contain that energy until she undoes the transformation.

so she dies and a copy is made every time she goes in and out of morph ball

If everything is placed back in the same way exactly, how is it a copy?

You yourself are pretty a copy of the you of 5 years ago, a large portion of your cells got replaced, so quit being a smartass

something destroyed and rebuilt will always be a copy user

...

So if I disassemble a chair, move it to another room, and re-assemble it, it is now a copy of the original chair?

samus loves to roll around

if you destroyed the wooden parts and compressed them into energy and somehow made new wood atoms then yes. I don't see why you have to purposefully dumb down the argument

the thing is, Samus' body isn't in the shape of an armadillo

imagine if she farted inside the ball.. that smell haha

Because it's the same energy being remade into the same matter.

Its not new material, its not like a teleporter, think of it like if you went brain dead and the were resurrected in the same body. More than likely in this pure energy state Samus consciousness is stored somewhere though.

what if I slowly over the years replaced ageing parts of the chair, but over time I would replace all the original parts

would this be a copy? what if it were done instantly?

enough out of you, shoo

Chozo Magic, user. It's a very important difference.

MURDERERS! KILLERS! Well you won't get me. won't get me, you hear!

Proof?

They aren't new wood atoms. They're the same atoms as earlier arranged the same way.

if the electron configuration present within her neurons in maintained exactly within the new energy medium there's no termination of consciousness

how would you know given there's no intrinsic difference between individual atoms

Imma quickly solve this dilemma
The brain is the physical template for information, and the electrical impulses in it are you, if thats broken apart ala Theseus ship and replaced its functionally identical but your existence technically ends as a thinking being, and what replaces you is a reconstructed you who noone can tell is any different.

Dont teleport lads. Aint worth it.

Same fundamental principal as pokeballs. Pokemon and Metroid take place int he same universe.

Then it's not a copy either way.

This

But how confident about it are you really, would you willingly choose the ability to morph ball and risk possible death or stick to slowly crouching?

>no one would be able to tell the difference

that's the crazy part. I can't imagine how we could possibly verify if, from the point of view of the teleportee he died right there. The copy would be identical on every physically verifiable perspective.

>space pirates doing their usual stuff on pokemon

dear god yes

Well in essence we currently cant verify our continued existence. I mean essentially there is no reason to believe it has ever been stopped but a clone would assume all these memories.

I think its pretty undeniable that if our consciousness ends it cannot be brought back, but a copy can be made.

ergo it's the same person, and there is no difference observable or otherwise, a different form is just taken temporarily

Teleportation would be used only for necessary personnel under extreme circumstances, people who don't realize they die and people with big egos that don't care.

why do so many people take the morphball so seriously?

Its a ball that samus morphs in to.

The name literally explains it.

Cylinders

>replaced
The morph ball isn't replacing, its restoring, if you die but are brought back to life 10 minutes later, its not like you aren't the same you.

It's actually a ball that morphs into Samus.

Is Samus even a real metroid then?

Hey look someone said the right thing but idiots are busy having the wrong argument so this will go overlooked.

Energy

Yes but that happens gradually not fucking instantly

>Ball that morphs into Samus

...

>ultra wormholes just go to the pirate homeworld
That explains the parasitic floating jellyfish.

oh
OH

Samus and the rest of the suit is pushed out of existence into a quantum existence while the shoulder units remain in this reality.
The morph ball still linked to the quantum reality can be controlled by Samus but by the laws in this reality. This explains why the ball has the same mass as Samus in full suit.
The morph ball was created by the Chozo who invented it after studying the ファントゥーン Fantūn which uses its eye as a physical anker in a similar way. Should the morph ball be destroyed Samus would not die but be forever trapped and tossed in between different realities. A fate that might be far worse then death.

The Chozo have figured out to turn matter into energy and back again completely perfectly and safely. That's all there is to it.

Yes roughly

I want to morph into Samus if you catch my drift.

Samus is kinda half spiritualist half warrior, so maybe she can do a half transcendence from the flesh, like the Chozo, to inhabit the compressed morphball. Like reverse astral projection.

She Morph's into a ball. Like how a caterpillar morphs into a moth.
