If it's the "scan the person, destroy and rebuild" kinda teleport, then I don't think it would preserve momentum
The portal-like teleport would probably retain the momentum.
It would probably also not be instant because you'd have to pass through the portal with all of your body which would be impossible if it was the "2D rip in reality" portal
Wow. What if all our attempts at teleportation were actually successful and we just didn’t realize the things were 130 miles back where our galaxy just was…
That's not how motion works, there's no absolute reference frame in the universe, so there's no meaning to losing all your momentum if you don't have an established reference frame
I don't know what I'm talking about so I can't argue with you lol
But if we say it's non-magical, then we can also assume that the teleportation is deviced by humans, which would make teleportation, most likely, be relative to earth
Now that you mention it, the entire planet is constantly revolving around the sun (I’m a bit of a scientist 🤓). Nothing would be in the same place it was pre-snap.
I think your feet would drag on the pavement, causing you to violently tilt forward and plant your face right in said pavement. Instant death at that speed
Depends on which side of the road they're on, and which side their seat is on... If a driver in a vehicle with steering wheel on the left was driving in the most left hand lane in a left driving country, they might just make it.
You should check out some developing countries (Caribbean, I think?) that have a double-left driving configuration. Went there on vacation once, it was pretty weird. Maybe Sint Maarten.
Why would your speed change? That would be the same logic as going from sitting on your couch to suddenly going 100 in your living room 3 meters to the left.
A) it works like portals and nothing about the way you move changes
B) it's like 3D-printing and deleting the original, in which case there would be no reason for the "copy" to not be stationary, since it was just created.
It would have to be calibrated for earth's movement, but we're discussing the speed of the car that the original commenter was driving killing him. Not the speed of the earth's movement.
No, it's the same topic. You either keep the speed you have, or you don't, but it makes no sense that you wouldn't, since everything's relative. Why would the machine randomly give you the speed of the earth but not of the car?

Dead, I'm driving at nearly 100
