OK, let’s say you’ve got a superhero whose power is teleportation...

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Dec 30 '20, 20:29

But he can only teleport to places where he’s been before. But since planets are always moving, and solar systems are always moving, and galaxies are always moving, the only way this makes sense is if he can teleport to a place he’s *touched* before, right? But - I mean - does he *literally* have to touch it with his bare skin? Otherwise... if you’re riding down Main Street in a car... do you teleport to Main Street, or do you teleport to the car, even though the car is now on Oak Street, two towns over? But what if the car has been junked and broken up into pieces? What if there’s a big sinkhole in the middle Main Street? I should just go to bed, right?

Responses:

he can also transport to places he sees, so anyone who answers his phone call, he can go there too. he can call the whole universe. -- nm* - Peglegpete Dec 30, 20:37 2
- Can he look through a telescope and go to Jupiter? Wait... can he travel faster than light? - Mop Dec 30, 20:54 1
