I don't think teleportation counts. Feels like either Star Trek-type super-science or outright mysticism.
- mwigdahl 2y agoStarship Troopers also had "special talents" -- "sensers" capable of detecting and mapping Bug tunnels underground, "memory men", "lucky men", and telepaths. Heinlein at least nods to the possibility that the sensers' abilities were the product of very powerful hearing, but telepathy would be tougher to explain that way.
