Or it would be a you from a parallel universe. Scientists have been able to teleport particles (not sure what kinds of particles) a few feet, but with the algorithms they use they can't prove they are the same exact particles. They are the "same" but the theory is we phase our particles out of our universe and phased the same ones from a parallel world in.

Ok not completely relevant, but interesting...
