The Asgard Transportation Device
The lack of any fixed platform means that the transporter must operate at a quantum level. The target's location and mass are identified, then an amount equalling twice of the targets mass is generated off-site. Half of this mass will be used when scanning the target; the other half will serve as the new copy of the target.
The scanning beam is then applied. Because the scanning beam is disruptive, the original target's mass is rendered effectivley useless.
After that, the materialisation beam lays down the second half of malleable matter and imprints it with data obtained from originally scanning the target.
The finished result is an exact replica of the person or object.
If this is so, then if a person get's transported using the Asgard transporter, then doesn't that mean that the original person will die and a copy will take their place right down to the quantum level.
