You can Teleport!

[Arkhangelsk]

Right on Al Gore. Telefrag! >

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Anywhere I freaking want to. I can teleport.

 

[DiET-Man]

I'd probably end up teleporting into a wall instead of my intended destination.

 

[Stabby McRunfast]

Inside a bank's vault of course. Then off to splurge on movies and video games.

Then I'd make it a point to travel to wherever Zack Efron is, then punch him in the face.

Then do the same to Keanu Reeves, though I'd probably stab him in the leg or something. I'd make sure he wouldn't be in the Cowboy Bebop movie.

This man is a genius!

 

[RN7]

First off I gotta say I WISH I could teleport.

Second, ermm into the bedroom of, lets call her, a close female friend

^_^

Teleporting inside of people can have fatal results for all parties involved.

 

[duchaked]

I'd be running away from some fucked up organization calling themselves "Paladins" and trying to fucking net me for some reason.

Right?

...yeah unfortunately that's apparently what would happen apparently =[

 

[ImprovizoR]

Jessica Alba bedroom.

At least I'm honest!

 

[Valkyira]

I would Teliport to Italy. My favourite country (mainly because im half Italian)

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

The local shop and buy some chocolate buttons.

Can you get me a Cornetto while you're there?

 

[Xeros]

I'd teleport straight to the Sonic Team and forcefully persuade them to get their shit back on track.

 

[SnipErlite]

Hence the teleporting into the bedroom of said person

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Right?

Yeah, They'll never catch us jumpers.

I'd go to a fish and chip shop. at the other side of the planet.

 

[Steeveeo]

Y'see? I can get money using it WITHOUT breaking the law.

What of the laws of physics?

The first thought I had when I saw this thread: "You can Teleport!" "Kay"

Anyway, just what kind of teleportation are we talking about here? Quantum Teleportation or just plain ol' boring Spatial Teleportation.

If it's the former, I'd teleport to as many parallel universes as I could come up with, just to see how things would have turned out differently in an alternate timeline. Then I would teleport to myself in 10 years on a random timeline, just to see where I COULD be, but not in my own timeline or that would ruin the fun. However, then I would have to deal with the quantum observation theories and whatnot, so that second part may not be an option for me if I want to keep the surprise.

However, if it is just teleportation in the standard 3 dimensions, I would probably figure out how many times I can teleport in sequence and with what side-effects. After finding that out, I would teleport to a high point, fall to terminal velocity, then teleport sideways somewhere up high in order to rocket out and "fly."


Also, someone brought up the topic of "Teleportation via Touch." I'd like to muse on the physics of that.
First, if teleportation could be chained by just straight touch, then everything from the people around you touching the ground or even connected by contacting air molecules would get teleported as well, meaning every time you warp, the entire planet would jump to a new position and it would be like you never moved at all.
However, if it's not by touch, and only teleports the teleporter, then you have the issue of your clothes not coming with, which is just a tad embarrassing, depending on where you land.
As a final thought, if teleportation works within a certain radius, then you'd have to worry about getting a portion of entities or objects nearby, killing the life and damaging structures.

Another interesting thing any teleporter, casual or enthusiast, must take into account is where you land after teleporting. If you can only warp to locations you've been to or have seen, then you gotta worry about moving objects like cars, people, animals, and other mobile things like that. But if you can jump wherever you like, then you must make sure that you're not teleporting straight into a wall or some such, as I somewhat doubt that matter would get displaced before reentry, although that is an interesting theory.

I'd be interested to hear what others think about these thoughts of mine...

 

[Chicago Ted]

Probably to my GF's house, then to a costume store, then to a bank...

 

[Burst6]

i would teleport to the house of the craziest conspiracy theorist, right in front of him. I would say "help me, the US government is genetically experimenting on me to make me a mindless slave, if you don't stop them they will do the same to the entire world! what? no get away from me you monster! help!" and teleport away.

i would love to see the results.

 

[FalloutJack]

I can't tell you where I'd go. It involves garroting wire and a silenced pistol.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I would wait for the next anime convention to take place, then teleport there. I've always wanted to go to one of those.

Or I would just go to Japan.

 

[everfreeDragon]

My girlfriend's house, seeing how it's long distance it'd be nice to spend some time with her in person, then I'd probably get a job that mainly focuses on travel over long distances and become employee of eternity for such impossibly perfect work, if that includes some nice large bonuses then, I'd buy a house, set up a life of my own, marry my girlfriend and end up using it for mundane things like shopping.

Oh and of course making awesome entrances to boring places to liven things up a bit.

Yes...but from what I've seen...I know what happens next...
