My wife, Deadspin, and many others argue that teleportation is the greatest of all the super powers.
Teleportation would be an amazing super power to possess. I would love to be able to teleport from location to location instantly.
I think it may be the third best super power.
But objectively, the best super powers, in this order, are:
All others - including teleportation - pale in comparison.
If my wife had to choose one super power, it would be teleportation. I think this is a brilliant but selfish choice.
If you get to choose a super power of any kind, the only morally acceptable choice in terms of the fate of the world is the ability to see the future. The ability to warn about natural disaster and prevent manmade ones trumps the ability to pop into Manhattan for dinner in the blink of an eye.
Not by much. But it does.
Besides, teleportation is hardly a super power. Physicists have already achieved this teleportation years ago, as the video below demonstrates.
But be warned. If you are anything like me, this video may terrify you.
I have a great deal of respect for physicists, but the fact that particles are aware that they are being measured should scare the hell of everyone, physicists included, but they seem to accept this fact as if it were no big deal.
I’ll never understand this.
