I am in the vacuum of space.

Meaning you're on a space station right now?

Inertia isn't preserved during teleportation. So you'll most likely end up either in space or the Earth's core.

Wouldn't that mostly depend on how long teleportation takes? But if it's instantaneous, you wouldn't need to account for inertia to end up literally a couple of feet away from where you are, right?

You underestimate how fast we're moving through space.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No, I don't think you understand what instantaneous actually means. It literally means instantaneous. Faster than the speed of light (which is actually why teleportation is physically impossible but that's irrelevant).
