Thanks for watching! Many of you bringing up the problem with relativity -- what is someone like Nightcrawler teleporting relative to? The Earth, the Sun, the Solar System? What happens to his velocity? This is my point. NONE of this is ever explained, and if we try, a number of problems present themselves. I don't like to just say "the super power takes care of it" because then what can we learn? See you in Footnotes! *And don't worry, I am working on episodes about super power you DO want* --KH

[@garethjones86]

This has always been my biggest problem with time travel too. Not sure if anyone has discussed this on here before as I'm new to the channel (it's great by the way) and this is my first comment on here but without the ability to teleport, time travel is effectively useless. If you did the classic back to future time jump going from 1985 back to 1955, over those 30 years the sun will have moved around the galaxy roughly 3.6x10^12 meters. If you went back in time without also teleporting through space you would end up an awful long way from where you wanted to be. Have you done an episode on time travel? If not, I think you should.

[@nighthawk3377]

"...Falling to your death or into the sun." Or, you know, inside the earth (crust, mantle, core, or half in the ground half not).

[@janis2280]

@Because Science What if that teleportation is similar to shooting moving target where you don't shoot where it is but where it will be? And when entering dimension you have your velocity and exiting you keep same velocity (dimension doesn't slow you down)? P.S. If dimension would slow superhero down that would also put huge G forces to stop instantly if you go with Earth's speed. So if dimension do slow you down it shouldn't be instant stop but incremental. In time it takes to disappear and reaper you shouldn't lose that much of speed relevantly.

It's actually explained in the comics that nightcrawler has a sixth sense in addition to his teleportation he has control over how fast he reappears as well as the momentum when he enters back into our world and the orientation that he's facing. It's why he can teleport onto moving objects. His speed automatically matches the plane of existence he goes to.

Also, when you "reappear" at your destination after a teleport, and assuming you are somewhere with an atmosphere, you could be arriving into a location that has atoms (the air). Either you would be atomically split (since your atoms and the air atoms would be "in the same place), or you would instantly displace those air atoms causing a rush of air around your reappearance.

Under certain conditions this might be informationally possible, but when you got there you wouldn't be the you that you left behind, you would be the you that was analyzed, broken down, deconstructed and rearranged according to information sent to make the you at the other end.

[@skillagerthevillagermain]

Also, if you're just shooting literal fire, it wouldn't be able to blow things up as movies and shows might indicate, it would probably just either make things hot or light them on fire, which itself is kind of a niche use since we already have lighters and flamethrowers to do the exact same thing, making it only suitable in combat (or if you want, to commit arson and risk getting arrested and likely experimented on)

is this some kind of hentai plot?

[@MartinPuedes]

This aspect is kind of part of 1 of the flaws of teleportation that hasn't been discussed in this video that is also kind of important. The mechanics of the transportee. Do the cells transport through the alternate dimension theory. Or the whole body. If the whole body it wouldn't successfully enter if there's a wall, because it would be bumped out of the way due to the inability to displace the solid mass, or if it does displace the solid mass would the wall subsequently teleport a distance equal to your teleportation if it was instant in the opposite direction. Or if it's your cells/particles how does the teleportee dissolve and resubstantiate, and how painfull or how woul that effect you. Effect: Would the teleportation process reset the polarity of energy stored, and would that as a result make you not have a mind afterwards. Basically having to relearn everything the way a kid would since you don't know how to do any actions, like crying like a baby is already a step up from that. Pain: I mean a punch impacts your atoms and cells. If you're whole body's cell's seperated that would be something your body wouldn't even be able to signal a warning of to you in regards to pain since pain is a signal that has to be transported in the first place. But I could imagine during reassembly that your body would truly be trying to signal it's disappreciation of what that was.

[@Gbonne1PSN]

In Scarlet Nexus, Luka has teleportation, and he explains that if he teleports somewhere that has changed, for example an empty field, but that field has a tree in it, if he teleports where the tree is and thus inside the tree, the result would be a nuclear explosion. I'm assuming it's because of the atoms colliding, but it is a video game so who knows if there is any science behind it. Would love to hear this teleportation explained!

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Not really. If you teleport from where I am to the equator you'll go from about 800 mph to an environment spinning about 1000 mph. Even if you do that instantly you're going to die horribly. I think what you want are tunnels where you travel from tunnel location A to tunnel location B. And, as you travel through the tunnels your speed adjusts in a safe manner to match the speed of the receiving tunnel location. Almost like a pneumatic tube system.

[@23TDJ]

@IamnotJohnFord Incorrect, if no time passes, then you'd maintain your initial speed and acceleration, which would match the planet. It would be as if you were always there, so no flying off or feeling the g forces of a rotating and moving planet

[@IamnotJohnFord]

@@23TDJ Maybe I'm wrong, but everything and everyone on the planet isn't moving at the same rate. At the poles you are barely spinning. But, at the equator you are booking at 1000 mph. If your change in velocity is zero to 1000 mph you'll be ripped apart. In fact, the closer to instanteous the teleportation the worse the damage. The safest way to do it would be buffer zones that either speed up or slow down your body so that it matches you new environment. But, now we're talking about tunnels.

[@BusterBrown1217]

As for portal teleportation, all the problems (brought up in the video, there are tons of undiscussed ones) would be solved. Portals are relative to the surface they are put on. Therefore, if put on the ground then the portal has the velocities of that ground. Then, when you go through the portal, the velocities of the portal get added to yours, therefore you wouldn't really be in any immediate danger.

[@TheMagneticDude]

This is actually how teleportation in the jumper series works and to me at least it makes the most sense

Dammit Jim, traversable wormholes aren't teleportation! Well okay, by the Sci-Fi definition of teleportation, projecting a wormhole mouth to a desired place and pushing your mass-energy through it would be theoretically viable. You can inflate a wormhole mouth from the far end. The trick is propelling the wormhole mouth... especially making it come to a stop. Because otherwise you come out of that mouth with the velocity of the mouth, which can end badly. Though it would sure look cool, projecting a tiny wormhole mouth with a bright plasma jet coming out one end, propelling it to its destination...

[@DerpingtonJr]

That makes me wonder if an Einstein-Rosen Bridge would theoretically be able to have its entrances/exits move relative to each other. The theoretical use-case for this would allow for the ends of the bridge to be located at fixed points on two different planets' surfaces so you would have to worry about the planets moving relative to each other. of course, the answer to all these hypotheticals is almost always, "further research is required"™

[@thetheoreticalphysicist5852]

The best solution is to create a portal at your current location and your target location (which moves with the earth) so you won't miss, and design the portal to effectively disassemble you at one end, and reassemble you at the other, so that the velocity change won't be an issue as you'll be reassembled at the correct velocity.

[@TheWingman43]

My thinking is that the ability uses known landmarks to teleport you at a given speed, relative to the known surroundings. In terms of Portal, think of it like a portal placed on a moving object, you still teleport to the deatination, but the anchor determines your velocity, if you put a portal on a wall inside a moving train, and another outside on the ground, if you stepped through from the nonmoving ground to the moving train, it wouldnt feel like you changed velocities, even though you did. Likewise, the teleportation would anchor itself to a location relative to objects you can remember. As for the loud bang, just swap the air you teleport to with the empty space you teleport from, so theres 2 teleportations happening. One moving you from location a to b. And one moving the same amount of air you make up in volume from b to a. This would still make blind teleporting a bad idea, in case something is where you're trying to teleport to. But, that would be easily solveable in todays world with security cameras set up in the locations you want to travel to, viewable on your phone, so you have a safe landing area. Or look online real quick to see if theres a public camera accessible someplace. For quick getaways, you could make a safe house that no one else can enter, and just dont bother with cameras.

[@santiagovidal4497]

Portal’s portals are really the best way to do teleportation. If you put a portal at the north pole and another at the equator, the portal at the equator is unmoving relative to its surroundings, and so entering the portal at the north pole immediately means you are moving at the speed of the portal at the equator. The same way that running into a portal conserves your velocity on the exit, running through a portal whose other end is moving will “accelerate” you and vice versa, in reference to the unmoving frame around the portal

Most interperations of teleportation revolve around fixed points or things within your vision, IE they either have to be able to see it, which removes the first few problems or to a location you know the exact cordinates at and have effectively set a teleporation ancor of sorts that does the solves the velocity issue by having you exist said ancor with the same velocity you left with, instantaniously. Marvel's form of teleporation is pretty specific interperation of teleportation, which would likely be unusuable. The real danger when considering more typical teleportation methods is having the fixed point be obstructed by something, jumper covered this nicely.

Update to my previous. If Nightcrawler moves through another dimension, then we can imagine how this works with a two-dimensional metaphor. Consider a two dimensional creature living on a tabletop, unable to see the third dimension. If I pick it up, move it, and set it down, then, from a two dimensional perspective, it will seem to have teleported. But we know that isn't what happened because we can see the third dimension. If the table is moving or similar, that isn't a problem. That two-dimensional world is just a slice of the three-dimensional reality. Everything is connected. Perhaps Nightcrawler lives in a three-dimensional slice of a four-dimensional universe. In that case, his power could make a fourth-dimensional step, move him the required distance, then take another fourth-dimensional step to set him back into his own reality. Because all of reality is connected, he doesn't need to worry about any changes in momentum or the movement of the Earth. All of the forces upon him are preserved because he never left reality; he just moved through it in an unconventional way.

My favorite examples of Teleportation in fiction are the ones shown in the "A Certain" Franchise (made up of the series "A Certain Magical Index", "A Certain Scientific Railgun" and "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"). In this franchise, Teleportation exists in 5 different variants, all of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. The most commonly seen type is just called "Teleportation", as used by the character Shirai Kuroko. She can teleport up to 81.5 meters at a time, and in order to teleport at all, she has to calculate her original coordinates and the destination coordinates in 11 dimensions, and if she tries to teleport further than 50 meters I think it is, her accuracy drops from a few millimeters to 1.5 meters, which could lead to her teleporting into a wall, or out in front of a train, depending on where she uses it. She can also teleport any object she touches, up to a maximum weight of 138 kilograms, regardless of size, and again, the closer to the limit, the lower the accuracy. The second-most commonly seen type is called "Move Point", and is used by another character, Musujima Awami, who can teleport objects without having to touch them, up to a maximum range of just over 1 kilometer, with a weight limit of around 4 metric tons. Enough to drop a building on her enemies. Naturally, this sounds like a more powerful ability, but unlike Teleportation, Move Point doesn't cause matter in the destination coordinates to be displaced when an object is teleported, so teleporting into a wall could cause serious injury. In fact, this is explained early on as the reason why Musujima doesn't teleport herself around unless she has no other choice at all, because she's already been close to dying after teleporting into a wall. The third type is called "Asportation", and is considered a stronger version of Teleportation and Move Point, as it has the accuracy and speed of Teleportation, but the range of Move Point, except the limits are increased since it's a Level 5 ability, where the other are Level 4. It is only ever seen used by a dead person, whose powers have been amplified to make it Level 5, even though originally they were Level 3 and much weaker than "Teleportation". Also, all these types of teleportation are mentally taxing, leading to a limit to how many times in a row a teleporter can use their ability. And they require one to focus on nothing but the calculations, meaning that in most cases, they're 100% worthless in battle, unlike Nightcrawler's which doesn't seem to have any limits at all...

[@fido2644]

First Nightcrawler has line of sight teleportation meaning he can only teleport where he can see. Which is why in Pride of the X-MEN nightcrawler had to teleport to the black bird, and even though they showed him The cabin of the jet he wound up in the lockers because of the movement of the jet

[@oven2066]

If Nightcrawler is already travelling at Earth speed when he pops into another dimension, the examples you give would indicate he spontaneously comes to an absolute stop in that dimension, before coming back into Earth at that dead stop. Given the time difference between his disappearing and reappearing in the film, wouldn't he have maintained his momentum and so not need to calculate anything? That might also explain why he can't teleport places he can't actually see. Not Because Science, Because Momentum

[@yumri4]

the speed ting for how fast he would be reentering in his video does not make sense for how fast the Earth would be in relation to how fast night crawler would be that is true and that probably is part of why it takes him a second to travel that far and why the odd amounts for left and right compared to front and back

[@JorgeGarcia-xe4mx]

Damn It I didn't read this before I made my comment, thumbs up, sir!

[@ErdingerLi]

Yes this was in my head the whole time. Since Nightcrawler was already within the momentum of Earth, he wouldn't have stopped moving in those milliseconds he was off Earth's dimension and would probably pop back in with that momentum as such.

[@dralionblackheart6643]

For that to be true, he would need to teleport in the same direction and in the same longitude relative to the earth surface, otherwise he would "pop" at even faster than mach 1.4. And that doesnt solve the other relative velocities he might encouter. (earth orbit, solar system orbit, even galaxy movement)

[@guilhermemattiello5300]

Also, if he gradually improved the distances to which he teleported, he'd learn how to compensate for any of these difficulties, even without thinking. Or do you think Tony Hawk calculates his momentum before each jump?

[@malindemunich2883]

Utilizing a machine, I agree the calculations can be complicated, but I'd always assumed that personal superpower teleportation would indeed come with its internal super compensation device, much the same way as we don't calculate our steps even when transitioning from typical everyday high-traction carpet to slippery sloped icy walks. We've just learned to do so over time. Step by step. Particularly if its a mutation step as shown in X-Men. (Doctor Manhattan, however, is likely doing calculations even if he doesn't need to.)

[@OtherDoorFilms]

"we don't calculate our steps even when transitioning from typical everyday high-traction carpet to slippery sloped icy walks" Yeah, but how many people would slip in that scenario? XD Really though, I'm sure any comic book writer would just casually write in some "super human instinctual calculations" or something for teleporting characters, if they were asked. But if somehow something did develop a natural way to teleport, it would probably take hundreds of thousands of years of evolution for a species to be able to properly utilize it.

Samuel R. Delany's novel "The Fall of the Towers" uses technology that employs something called a transit ribbon. But that's more like being sent across data lines and an after affect is you're rendered temporarily invisible in dim light.

[@Arenuphis]

Well teleporters unconsciously doing a lot of math is the case in the A Certain series Well it's true for all Espers And iirc their "we do it by projecting a personal reality thing" explanation would ignore the speed problems, unless you told them about it

[@VanillaMidgetSSBM]

7:54 To be fair, we don't know what would happen if two separate bits of matter were brute forced into sharing the same space. In an example like Miro from My Hero Academia - When his Phasing ability is turned off if he is stuck in something like a wall or the ground he gets shot out of it much like a glitchy video game character. In other cases characters like the Reverse Flash have been able to basically scramble someone's brains by phasing into their head and then turning it off.

[@valkyire35]

You could argue that nightcrawler does have a secondary ability that can calculate perfect velocity and space time calculations bc he already has that issue where he can only Teleport to places he knows and can see and when he doesn't know about the location specifics he can end up inside of something or in a completely different place leading me to believe he has some sort of subconscious calculation ability that aside I thought it would be cool to mention I remember in one of the games night crawler actually causes a small amount of damage to nearby people when he teleports bc he causes tiny explosions

[@rfresa]

The books by Steven Gould explore a lot of these ideas. In a later book, one of the "Jumpers" realizes that if she can instinctively match her velocity to the velocity of the Earth when she teleports, then she can also jump in place but change her velocity (or jump anywhere with any velocity), effectively giving her the ability to fly. She goes on to create her own space station. Read the books!

But how about travelling trough the 4th dimension and ours? But you have the ability of travelling through the 4th dimension instantly and then re-enter the 3rd dimension but since you can watch everything that happens on the 3rd dimension from the 4th, you could easily avoid amputations (like teleporting inside objects, but again since you are from the 4th dimension, teleporting into objects wont really affect you) or spatial misscalculations.

[@kierandoesthings6898]

I like the idea that since you have to focus on a specific place you are focusing on the relative velocity of that place

[@ArthurEKing8472]

Kyle, you are also forgetting how fast the sun is travelling around Sagittarius A, (around 230,000 m/s) or how fast the Milky Way Galaxy is travelling in our local super cluster (I don't know, but fast). Those speeds dwarf your original calculations by several orders of magnitude. I think the crux of your entire argument (and it's Achilles Heel) is the concept of absolute or relative position. Effectively there's no particularly poignant point that can be attributed as the origin point in our universe without some sort of perfectly valid and legitimate argument as to why it shouldn't be. Ergo, ALL positions in space are actually relative positions. So however many metres away you are travelling, if you were using the centre of the earth as the fixed point that your teleportations are relative to, then ALL the math you just said after the rotational differential is utterly meaningless, as the position you're moving to or from is relative not to some arbitrary fixed origin, and rather is relative to the large massive body you want to remain on. If this is the case, then nightcrawlers teleportation limit of a few miles makes sense and can be considered "safe" WITHOUT some kind of quantuum supercomputer doing the calculations for him. Although your statement about the air-replacing is completely valid, lol.

[@gmhelwig]

What I came here to say.

[@RealtimeInterrupt]

Also not included is how fast our galaxy is moving away from the center of the universe. Standing perfectly still for even a fraction of a second would have severe consequences.

[@poutineausyropderable7108]

yeah but with quantum teleportation, you keep all your prorpiety... So you would still be moving and the TP is instant.

[@Ultiminati]

Welcome to the footnotes :D

[@MichaelDerryGameitect]

Yes, the whole episode was about frames of reference. I was expecting to hear some additional reasons not to want the power. With the example of Portal's portals, the entry and exit points are fixed relative to the moving reference frame of Earth's surface and momentum is preserved relative to those points. Teleportation, of the type described, should be able to work the same way, almost regardless of the conditions of the means of travel (other dimensions) between those points. It's also possible for the alternate dimension to be linked somehow to the movement of the Earth. Just like the perception of a 3D object in 2D space, if you pick up a chess piece (the surface of the board is what's visible) the circle representing its mass would disappear when picked up and reappear when set back down. It can be moved faster this way than by sliding it and can avoid obstacles not possible while sliding but it still shares the same reference frame for momentum and everything else.

[@hopepeterphiri1908]

What if teleportation comes with the power to stop time itself, that way you pop up where you want to with the earth stationery

[@funlightfactory6031]

You also forgot about the galaxy moving through space, and the local cluster of galaxies moving through the universe, and the cluster of clusters that is moving.

[@rayceeya8659]

One little issue I have with this argument. It seems to be predicated on any point in space having some sort of absolute location. It seems to echo the old ether theory. The Earth is spinning, the Earth is orbiting, the sun is orbiting the galactic core, the galaxy is moving even faster through the universe. But there is no universal space coordinate system. That implies there is some sort of origin point that we can measure everything from. Some fixed center of the universe. As near as we can tell no such point exists. Therefore there's no way to measure "absolute velocity". As Einstein proved, everything is relative.

[@TerryProthero]

This is a common mistake. I remember Shad from Shadiversity talking about time travel and suggesting that you would end up somewhere in space if you didn't also space travel. Kyle, I think, said something similar. I'm fairly certain that the only origin point that exists would be a reference point that is stationary relative to you. So if I marked an X on my living room floor and stood on it, it could be said that I am not moving in space. If I disappeared and reappeared a day later on that same X then it could be said that I moved in time but not space. No other coordinate system even makes sense. All locations in space need to be stated relative to some reference point. As you say, there is no absolute coordinate system. In fact, the universe doesn't even have a center. All points in space are the center of the universe. Everything is expanding in all directions.

The only concern is what your powers regard as a reference point. Mutant powers like night crawler where all you do is think would likely keep earth as a reference (and no reason to say the brimstone universe doesn't have an earth sized planet in it right? I could be wrong but I didn't think we had much detail about it). I would assume Tech would more likely not have a frame of reference and might need calculations but not sure. Haven't done any physics since 1st year University.

Going to "another dimension" does not mean the same as "leaving this reality" . Imagine that he is just traveling through a 4th spacial dimension. This dimension would still be bound by all the same physics that the "normal" 3 spacial dimensions are . He doesnt have to adjust his velocity or account for any of the factors mentioned in the video because that 4th dimension is ON earth just like the rest of us are. The geometry of that 4th dimension could explain the limitations he describes . so imagine that you were a two dimensional being, there was a line 100 miles long on the ground and you want to get to the other side of it . If we assume you are in the center of that line then the shortest route to get to the other side of the line is 50 miles (or 100 if you actually want to end up directly across the line from where you started . However; if you could utilize the third dimension, then you could step over the line and your total distance traveled is just the width of the line . The longest distance you could travel "instantly" would be limited to how far "up" you could step. Now factor in that the earth is not perfectly spherical and you could imagine that your step length (relative to the ground) might be a different distance east to west than it would be north to south.
