Is Time Travel and Teleportation essentially the same thing?
This debate has scrambled the brains of my boyfriend and I. The argument is If Time travel and teleportation are essentially the same things? Teleportation = WHERE changes. Time travel = WHEN changes. That being said
Both can happen at once = WHERE + WHEN changes
My argument:
Example: It is Texas 2026 and I want to live 1950 New York. I would TIME TRAVEL there. This is just time traveling bc I want to live 1950 New York, I didn’t teleport there just TIME TRAVELED. Of course I changed setting when I traveled back in time.
Boyfriends argument: Time traveling and Teleportation are the same thing in a sense
Example: For example, if I'm in my room right now and I wanna time travel one hour into the past where I was in the kitchen, theoretically that changes my location, so it's like teleporting.
The definition of time traveling and teleportation essentially changes the meaning of them both. I would like to see what y’all think about this argument, it has been very fun!
