The pocket of air that was where you teleported now get displaced at a very decent fraction of the speed of light while the pocket of space you once ocupied becomes a almost pure vaccum. the air moves so fast it creates a sonic boom that ruptures the ear drums. Then, a few atoms of air collide together with such incredible force the atoms split and causes a small grade nuclear explosion.

I’m actually a chemist, thankyouverymuch

Thank you for taking the time to do the actual calculations, you are a legend!
Can confirm, as a cylindrical human, 2m tall, 25 cm diameter.
This guy sciences.
I mean, no. That’s not enough energy to cause nuclear stuff. This guy tried sciencing, which I still respect in the context of a goofy scenario, I guess.

Wouldn’t that mean opening an evacuated tube should produce a flash of radiation, and supersonic planes should absolutely glow? I’m skeptical.
Air moves as fast as the potential difference in pressure between where it is and where it wants to go. Also pressure has a direct relationship with heat as in the more under pressure a volume of air is the more hot it becomes.
The potential difference between regular earth or spaceship atmospheric pressure and vaccum is relatively little so air flow is only subsonic when evacuated vaccum tubes break and exposed to normal atmosphere conditions.
However if you go to the bottom of the ocean the pressure there is enough to cause implosions which create a kind of under water sonic boom as well as light radiation as the water rushes in to the vaccum faster than the speed of sound. The mantis shrimp even evolved this as a kind of defense by snapping its claws so fast it creates vaccum bubbles that implode which creates powerful shockwaves while producing light. Here’s a great video about that
I dont know enough about aerodynamics to know about why supersonic planes dont glow. Maybe they do and its just in infrared. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
Still that’s almost nothing compared to the pressures created around the body in this scenario which as the person calculated is surface-of-the-sun levels of pressure being instantly pushed on earthy atmosphere molecules. The forces created by the potential difference in pressure in this scenario could theoretically be enough to overcome the strong nuclear force binding the nucleus of air atoms.
Your atoms now occupy the same space as the air atoms. How exactly is this not going to result in nuclear tomfoolery?
That might do it, if they really land on top of each other. OP said it was air molecules colliding with each other in the shock, though.
Depends on what teleportation technology we’re using. I think a lot of us assume that when you’re teleported you’re quickly assembled atom by atom and don’t simply instantly exist in a new location.
There’s a few questions here. At the atomic level, quantum mechanics comes into play, and instant change basically breaks it, so you’d expect it to be slightly gradual somehow.
Nah, just reads too much XKCD.
I assume it’s a switcharoo scenario. Otherwise where does the air in my new location go?
I’m wet and sitting on the tile floor. I’m cold :(
Why would air displace so quickly?
Instantly moving any kind of mass in the context of physics means moving it super close to the speed of light (well actually, it would have to be faster than the speed of light for truely instant which opens up a can of worms all its own so lets just say really really close to instant, as close as the universe lets you get without inviting FTL time paradoxes) which would impart insane amounts of momentum energy that has to transfer to the air it pushes.
That supercharged almost-speed-of-light air needs to go somewhere (unless were talking about the kind of teleportation where atoms get transposed into each other in which you just skip to the nuke step).
It would still have to repel the air with electromagnetic forces between electrons, so the total speed is still limited. Or does the air just stay in place inside your body? If not, then the teleporter would have to move the air somewhere.

I’m pooping next to my toilet, inside this wall. The tp roll is in my belly.
Now there are three of us
Same. There is also a handicap rail through my sternum.
(This is the exact scenario that occurred to me.)
Same, minus the pooping and being inside a wall. But I did eat a roll of toilet paper once. (/j) (I have never eaten a roll of toilet paper, yet)
I have simultaneously merged with my desk. My bowels have been displaced and are now bisected with bamboo. I feel simultaneously ripped apart and yet stuck and solid. Every point of my being is as though it has been engulfed in flames. My existence and identity has now become insufferable pain. I feel an impending sense of doom at a foreign body now lodged inside of me.
There are no wounds for me to bleed from and I cannot gasp for air to scream. My spinal cord has been severed and I feel hot prickles on my cheeks and my ears feel as though they are being stuffed with cotton. An internal white hot pressure feeling erupts up my now-fractured spine until it reaches the back of my head and radiates towards my forehead. My peripheral vision looks like static and everything appears to shake. I am unable to make sense of anything and everything goes dark and still.
U killed me op wow
my spinal cord has been severed and I feel hot prickles on my cheeks…
I read that as hot pickles and got realllllllly confused until I reread it.
me too, thanks for writing this so i didn’t have to
Really impressive that you typed this comment. RIP.
They could have become a prolific horror writer but instead they’ve been desk-integrated.
Ikr! They wrote this masterpiece while actively dying, so I’m sure they’d have been a fantastic author if not for their untimely end
welp, I’m not sitting on a tram anymore
I continue pooping in the next stall over.
Is it occupied?
If not before, it is now
I’m now having an uncomfortable moment with the airline passenger in seat 26A.
I’m now shitting in my bathtub…
Wooo! I’m now shitting in my shower. There’s dozens of us!
Beats doing it outside about 10 or more feet over muddy ground
I am now shitting in the sink.
I move into a space occupied by my desk, thus taking 3d10 force damage before moving to the next unoccupied space.
Weird. I also move into a space occupied by my desk, but a Fey mood takes hold of me and I grab the left corner of the table with my left nostril and wrestle it into an oak masterpiece which I then sell to an Elf, just to piss him off.
I’ve now telefragged my colleague.
Still counts!
I telefrag the guy sitting next to me on the train
I’m now pooping on the floor. Thanks.
Me too! Hi floor poop buddy.
I’m sitting on the floor on my balcony with my back against the wall, so I’ll be falling 23 floors.
Fall out of my chair, but otherwise unaffected as I end up on the floor.
I’m now in the lap of the guy in the stall next to me.
“Well hello there, come here often? Let me get that for you…”
