  You just got played. It was done very well but nevertheless.

  "Instantaneous", in that context, might not mean "faster than light". Communication via the internet is pretty much instantaneous, but it's not FTL...

  I have had this conversation twice a year for the past ten to fifteen years. Something needs to have changed, because the conversation has changed in the way I cited. The vast bulk of those don't even address whether it's "instantaneous" in violation of lightspeed because they just ignore lightspeed entirely. You in fact seem to be reinforcing my point by the casual assumption that teleportation must be instantaneous-as-FTL by the very definition of the word, and thus the mere fact that the word is used proves your point (circularly, I might add), so let me ask you: Where did you get that idea? It's not the way the word has been defined for the past 50 years, it's a new mutation. Why do you think that? (And why would English have such a rigid, useless definition for a word like that?)
