No need to teleport, I live here yet I’ve no idea why
if people had superpowers they’d definitely trigger them in their sleep.
imagine going to sleep and waking up in some random guys shed or the middle of the ocean or as the little spoon of a couple in bed
I’ll bet there is one person in the world that all three of things happened to without needing superpowers.
A drug addiction is pretty likely.
OH FUCK I LEFT JIM IN FRANCE LAST WEEK
This would actually make a pretty good tv show.
Quantum Leap is basically that, but with science instead of superpowers.
Im imagining someone way more chaotic and the show as a comedy.
This is the least of my worries. I’d be driving, zone out….”Hmmm, I wonder…”
Come back to a wrecked car.
So what, you can just teleport back!
Easily made up for by the ability to cut transportation time from tardiness.
I wonder how much energy it would take to teleport, it can’t be free
I don’t remember where I heard this but irl wormholes need negative matter to sustain themselves but since that not really a thing without some FUNKY physics most black holes in space simply fizzle out before they even form
The interesting part tho is that it’s theorized you’d need negative matter the size of the moon to make a doorway sized portal
Anyways that’s some probably incorrect information I just thought I’d share
I mean, let me be a nerd for a moment here, but most superpowers don’t work without complementing powers and specific definitions. In the case of teleportation, you have to decide how conscious the decision has to be, but also like, do you just have to imagine a place? Do you have to have been there before? Do you have to be able to see it? Can you accidentally teleport inside objects? Or can you be like, “I want to teleport to the nearest discarded wallet with at least $200 in it”? I mean, what are you really able to do, and how do you initiate it? Fun to think about, in my opinion.
if you teleport inside an object where does the matter that was already there go?
Usually in sci-fi teleportation is accompanied by some sort of pop, suggesting the air is displaced from the inside out. Since our body doesn’t physically expand and contract to a point sized speck too often, the energy to displace the material would need to be supplied from the teleportation device. Therefore, I’d suggest that any existing material is exploded outwards, depending on the capabilities of the device. Explode a rock? Maybe. Explode the core of a planet? Unlikely.
To be fair, I’d do all of that to teleport somewhere and then forget why I’m there once I appear.
It’s like going to the kitchen to get… what was it I was going for again?
plot of breaking bad
The Jumper series (books) has an interesting take on involuntary teleportation. Just a side note for all sci-fi geeks.
I feel like I should’ve known that the movie was based off of a book series, and I’m disappointed that I didn’t read them as a kid.
Well, it’s not too late to read them now :)
Or the inverse:
“Did he just remember he can do that?” “Your father’s an idiot”
[off topic]
“The Stars My Destination.” by Alfred Bester. Classic science fiction. In the future, almost everyone can teleport. Weaklings can do a five mile Jaunt, while the gifted can go 1,000 miles at a pop. There are crooks who never see daylight, and pampered princesses who have never left their fathers’ homes.
Unless it’s rural Nevada this is a bad example, Vegas has so many things I’d never even have a chance to question why I was there
