I mean, points for being right. We should create Star Trek teleporters so we can use them to avoid motorcycle accidents.

- stavros 5y agoI don't think the teleporter would absorb the momentum though. You'd just fly out of it and smash on the nearest wall.
- Arrath 5y agoOkay the mental image of this is pretty funny, I will admit.
- thatguy0900 5y agoThe insurance company just needs to lease out one of those giant trampoline bounce houses to teleport all of its policyholders into.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoWhat happens when two accidents happen at the "same" time? Whoever is running the teleporter would have to have "collision avoidance" strategies I guess. :-)
- sudosysgen 5y agoWe could teleport you into a fluffy bouncy comfy room with inflatable walls.
- jhgb 5y agoThen how does it slow Enterprise's crew from orbital velocity when beaming them down to a planet?
- stavros 5y agoThe ship is on a geostationary orbit, obviously.
- jhgb 5y agoThere's around 4 km/s difference between geostationary orbital speed and the surface of the Earth. For a zero inclination circular orbit, you'd need to be at an altitude of ~1855000 km to have linear velocity equal to the nadir on Earth's surface.
