Poll: Flying or Teleporting?

[R3dF41c0n]

I'll take teleportation, assuming it's both short and long range.

Answer: Teleport

Reason: Steal shit

That is all..

Although teleportation is faster and safer it doesn't have the pleasure of the trip. Besides if you want you can go watch the sunset above the clouds if you fly but if you only teleport you have to keep doing it because once you got there you would just fall down.
Besides flight is cooler and as it's been said much more fun.

You can't get into a bank vault using flight... >

Or, we could combine the best of both with the portal gun!

If flying was so important (the thrill and the view and stuff) then it stands to reason that I could just teleport into the sky and keep teleporting back up before I hit the ground.
So I'd stick with teleportation as its quicker and overall more useful.

Y'see, this solves the 'well with teleporting you can't admire the view' problem so I'll take teleporting. Flying would be awsome but teleporting is cooler. It's sort of a question really of who would you rather be? Captin Jack Harkness or Superman? Nightcrawler or wonder woman? All four are cool but it's down to personal choice.

Teleportation would make it so you weren't late but flight would be so much cooler and fun

 

[pigsnoutman]

I'm dull, so I'd use my power of teleportation to get a well paid job in central london and live in India like a king.

Flight. Too much room for error on teleportation. Would hate to end up partially inside a wall, and partially not.

Teleport out of it.

Assuming you don't die instantly.

 

[sudokucrazedman]

With teleportation you can simulate flying, and it would make travel time a lot easier.

 

[XJ-0461]

Both.

I'd have a TARDIS for such travel.

 

[Quaxar]

Captain Jack Harkness or Superman?

How is that a question? Superman! 'cause, you know, Superman doesn't keep a gun up his you-don't-wanna-know.

Apart from that I'd prefer teleportation. I wouldn't walk more than 5 meters, but that's my burden, every hero needs one. And it could save me billions on gas and bus tickets. Instant-holiday!

 

[Xyliss]

Flight, especially if I had wings.. I would love that!

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

Teleportation... by by money in bank vaults xD

 

[deadguynotyetburied]

Depends on what kind of flight, what kind of teleportation. Am I restricted to line of sight, can I teleport other things to me, how fast do I fly, how maneuverable am I?

teleportation is faster and safer no accidently flying into a jet engine to foul your day.

Why would you die instantly? You've got as long as you have breath assuming your face is trapped.

Because walls aren't known for getting out of the way quickly?

It'd be moved out of the way. Matter cannot occupy the same place. And if you are teleporting into it then it has to move. Otherwise, well, you plainly aren't teleporting into it are you?

While it is true that matter cannot occupy the same space, everything is made up of 99% empty space held together by electron bonds when you break it down to sub-atomic physics, there is plenty room to put things next to it, it just would result in an immediate nuclear repulsion at the sub-atomic level. Small parts of your body and the wall would expand immediately to compensate this, which wouldn't be good all things considered.

But besides that, you could die from shock, heart failure, brain damage, major organ failure due to being embedded, etc. Not a pretty sight at all.
