Poll: Flying or Teleporting?

[ninetails593]

I teleportal all over the place.

 

[Exia91]

If there's no limit to how often and how far I can teleport then its Teleporting.

IF there are limits that would ..limit.. me too much I'd go for flying.

 

[Iampringles]

I have always been fascinated by flying, but teleportation, if done safely, seems like the more practical option for getting form A to B.

 

[KindOfnElf]

Teleportation. I want to know how it feels to be decomposed and than composed again all that in a second.

 

[Goremocker]

Flight, you can screw up teleporting in too many ways. Like ending up merging with someone or dieing in a wall. Also, there is no way to tell how your teleportation works so you may even end up dead just by trying.

Flying looks much more dramatic.

Leaping out of a window and flying would look bad ass.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Why would I fly when I could violate thermodynamics instead?

 

[Jonluw]

I have a hard time choosing, but seeing how flying (at high speeds) would realistically be very uncomfortable, I am going to choose teleportation.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Flying for the spectacle. Also, I don't want to teleport into an object.

Flying you defy gravity.
Teleporting you defy the natural laws of physics.
I chose teleportation.

Gravity is a natural law of physics, you know.

Gravity isn't a law, it's a force.

And yet it is a force that always expresses itself when an object with mass is around. It can also be predictably measured and modeled. As such, while there is plenty that we don't know about gravity, the simple fact that it follows a known set of observable rules that do not allow for any known instance of violation, it would qualify as a law in my book. And this one will stand regardless of the decress of presidents or despots.

Teleportation. No doubt. It's faster and you can go anywhere.

 

[Dana22]

Flying is more entertaining.

Newton's Law of Gravitation is what you mean so. Gravity itself is a force.

Teleportation is better in a gunfight.

 

[runnernda]

As long as I was, you know, good at it, I'd pick teleportation. I like to get places fast, and it's faster and, I imagine, less dangerous than flying. I'm accident-prone so I'd probably pull a Fabio and fly face-first into a goose or something.

 

[Trotgar]

Flight. As ProfessorLayton totally Ninja'd me, it isn't as fast but it's cooler,

Teleportating would also be cool, but only if it worked some other way than destroying you and reconstructing you in your target destination. The "clone" would be completely like you, but you yourself would be dead.

 

[fenrizz]

Teleportation. It would be faster and more beneficial overall.

Quoted for truth.

Teleportation has much more potential.

 

[willsham45]

Every thing depends on the rules at play.
Teleport would need more precise infomation to ensure you don't teleport into anything or one, it would be a less trusted way to travel.
Flight on the other hand would be a lot slower asuming you could teleport long distances,

Newton's Law of Gravitation is what you mean so. Gravity itself is a force.

A force that follows strictly enforced rules. A force that extends to infinity. A force that exists in every instance where there is mass. Yes, gravity is a force, but it is one that is strictly enforced. Given that one of the many definitions of law is "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature", I'd say it handily qualifies. So much so that the phrase "law of gravity" has made it's way into common language.

Still, the opening bit here seems a bit silly. One doesn't need to defy physical law in order to fly, they simply need to apply sufficient force in the opposite direction. Defiance of the law of gravity would imply that somehow you have mass that does not exhibit the inherent property of mass. Alternately, one could simply defy the principles of thermodynamics and have arbitrary mass allowing for incredibly easy flight. If those are too complicated, there are a number of mechanisms designed to simply provide sufficient force in the correct direction that allows for flight.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Teleportation.
Having invisibility along with that would be nice too.
Just imagine the possibilities...

 

[Kingshadow6]

Depends, if teleportation would destroy my atomic structure and create a duplicate somewhere else (ala star trek) I would choose flight, but that comes with numerous problems as well, physics, difficulty of orientation etc. Otherwise, teleportation.
