If you wait 3 minutes on Mars, why would an instant teleport back to Earth result in you arriving just after you went poof rather than 3 minutes after you went

If you wait 3 minutes on Mars, why would an instant teleport back to Earth result in you arriving just after you went poof rather than 3 minutes after you went poof?
- maxerickson 3y agoWell, the point is more that you have to wait 3 minutes on Mars if you want to watch yourself leave. But say instead of waiting you just keep going poof.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoThey never said they wait to watch themselves leave, just watch themselves on Earth (3 minutes before they left).
- maxerickson 3y agoI mean, it's completely logical that if you get to Mars faster then light, you can watch yourself start the trip, but why does this also mean that you are actually going back in time? I'm the one that introduced the 'start the trip' condition, and they used it in their comment.
