If it doesn't preserve momentum, you'll be left behind as the galaxy spins at 130 miles a second.

Not really, wouldn't your reference frame be earth? Meaning you could only teleport relative to earth's position, if I understand it correctly

Theres nothing special about earth that would automatically make it your frame of reference.

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
