Poll: Flying or Teleporting?

[Dana22]

Flying is more entertaining.

 

[PoliceBox63]

Flying for the spectacle. Also, I don't want to teleport into an object.

Flying you defy gravity.
Teleporting you defy the natural laws of physics.
I chose teleportation.

Gravity is a natural law of physics, you know.

Gravity isn't a law, it's a force.

And yet it is a force that always expresses itself when an object with mass is around. It can also be predictably measured and modeled. As such, while there is plenty that we don't know about gravity, the simple fact that it follows a known set of observable rules that do not allow for any known instance of violation, it would qualify as a law in my book. And this one will stand regardless of the decress of presidents or despots.

Newton's Law of Gravitation is what you mean so. Gravity itself is a force.

Teleportation is better in a gunfight.

As long as I was, you know, good at it, I'd pick teleportation. I like to get places fast, and it's faster and, I imagine, less dangerous than flying. I'm accident-prone so I'd probably pull a Fabio and fly face-first into a goose or something.

Flight. As ProfessorLayton totally Ninja'd me, it isn't as fast but it's cooler,

Teleportating would also be cool, but only if it worked some other way than destroying you and reconstructing you in your target destination. The "clone" would be completely like you, but you yourself would be dead.

 

[fenrizz]

Teleportation. It would be faster and more beneficial overall.

Quoted for truth.

Teleportation has much more potential.

 

[willsham45]

Every thing depends on the rules at play.
Teleport would need more precise infomation to ensure you don't teleport into anything or one, it would be a less trusted way to travel.
Flight on the other hand would be a lot slower asuming you could teleport long distances,

Newton's Law of Gravitation is what you mean so. Gravity itself is a force.

A force that follows strictly enforced rules. A force that extends to infinity. A force that exists in every instance where there is mass. Yes, gravity is a force, but it is one that is strictly enforced. Given that one of the many definitions of law is "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature", I'd say it handily qualifies. So much so that the phrase "law of gravity" has made it's way into common language.

Still, the opening bit here seems a bit silly. One doesn't need to defy physical law in order to fly, they simply need to apply sufficient force in the opposite direction. Defiance of the law of gravity would imply that somehow you have mass that does not exhibit the inherent property of mass. Alternately, one could simply defy the principles of thermodynamics and have arbitrary mass allowing for incredibly easy flight. If those are too complicated, there are a number of mechanisms designed to simply provide sufficient force in the correct direction that allows for flight.

Teleportation.
Having invisibility along with that would be nice too.
Just imagine the possibilities...

 

[Kingshadow6]

Depends, if teleportation would destroy my atomic structure and create a duplicate somewhere else (ala star trek) I would choose flight, but that comes with numerous problems as well, physics, difficulty of orientation etc. Otherwise, teleportation.

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

well that depends. if i need to get somewhere fast, i choose teleportation ofc, but i would REALLY like to fly, so i vote on flying.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

Teleportation. Preferably with a flashy visual effect.

 

[Bloodstain]

Teleportation is much more awesome!

 

[teisjm]

As said before you could always just teleport up in the air, and geep porting yourself to avoid hitting teh ground... add a birdman suit (the one with wings like that of a flying squirrel) and you got amlost everything you can do with flight done by teleporting... except ofc hovering still at a location up in the air to look at someting.

 

[Arkzism]

teleportation. but with a safety that keeps you from accidentally teleporting in a wall

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Flying seems more dnagerous, and might take energy. With the information given, teleportation, because flight would have too many variables.

 

[Baldry]

Teleportation!
I've always wanted to travel through the space time continuum!

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Flight!
Teleportation has way too many limitations

 

[Terramax]

It's that age old question, would you rather be granted the gift of flight or teleportation?

Never heard of this question before. I chose flying, as travelling and adventure isn't about getting from A - B, but how you enjoy the in between. Flying would be much more fun.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

With flight, there's no risk of insta-kill massive hemorrhaging, and a prominent idea for teleportation is basically killing you, then instantly reconstructing you somewhere else, which is creepy no matter how you approach it. So I'd say flight; it's much more fun anyway.

This. I don't wanna be anihilated from existance.
