you see , gentlemen , what has always been the problem with teleporting over large distances is heisenberg 's uncertainty principle , [ 12 ] since the object teleported , that 's from tele , `` i see '' , and porte , `` to go '' , the whole meaning `` i see it 's gone '' , er , the object teleported , er , no matter how large , is reduced to a thuamic particle and is therefore the subject of an eventually fatal dichotomy : it can either know what it is or where it is going , but not both .
