[glow=red,2,000]Ok science question, if someone was falling at a high speed, if they teleported to another location would that momentum then be canseled or would it still be an factor and have that person materializing in another spot and find them selves still falling?
Invisibility. Ever watch TV and there a show where 2 ppl turn invisble. So no one can see them right? Then how is it they can see each other in some cases? [/glow]

For part one i can say yes it is a factor still, the telportation would not stop them falling. They explain it well in some comics with people who have telportation powers, and use it as an advantage with another oppenents weapons.
Ive seen a DC comic where a kid who could telport things, He Teleported Steel's (Guy dressed in an iron man style suit with big hammer.) whe he threw it at him, so that it reapeared behind steel, ala continuing on its path and hiting him in the back.
Second part well i beilieve that the person who becomes invisble, their eyes can see in a different form of light, and see other people that are invisbile as well in that light. (K i din't explain this one well) One show that did Explain it well was the "The Invible Man" show.

The teleportation thing all depends on how the teleportation is done. In the more scientific sense, teleportation is done by breaking something down at the molecular level, shooting those molecules off to wherever you want to go, and reassembling the molecules into their previous structure. Done this way, any momentum the thing had before would defnitely be gone now. But the way many comic books and cartoons do it is to do the telepotation by shifting the thing into another dimension, then instantaneously shifting it back out again into a different spot in this dimension. If it's done that way, the momentum could easily be retained. Did any of that make sense?

Teleporting to a teh groudn would mean the gravitational energy the object had would of been decreased so the momentum would stop. As gravitational energy, depends on an objects distance from the ground.
And to make yourself invisible you have to have your eyes invisible as well, so having invisible retinas mean you see others weho are invisible, as while the invisible person can not be seen in the visible spectrum, he can be seen by one looking in the "invisible" spectrum.
Dont'cha love science!

DAMN!!! Look at this...we have another logic bot on our hands ... Percy... look out... you've got a run for your money now
I'll have to start giving you more credit than I have been Sharpy...

Being invisible doesn't really mean you can see other who are invisible. It you're invisible it simply means that the light in the visible spectrum passes through you instead of reflecting off you like it usually does. This means that it also passes through your retinas instead of being absorbed like it usually is, so you can't see anything in the visible spectrum. It doesn't mean that you can see other invisible things. Infared and ultraviolet light might bounce off you like usual, but human eyes can't see in those spectrums. So...when you're invisible you should be blind unless you can engineer your eyes to see different wavelengths of light.

I'm learning something logical with every post... I'll say it's a good thread... and it really does all make sense... this is sooo cool.... keep up the good work everyone ;D... keep teaching me that is

[glow=teal,2,300]The only problem with the teleportation question is that its a moot point. In order to dismantle an object at the sub-atomic level (not just molecular) you have to voercome a basic problem with Quantum theory.
Before you can dismantle and transmit the matter as energy, you have to scan the object, right down to the sub atomic level. The problem with quantum theory is that it states that the mere act of looking at something alters its sub atomic structure. So, using our current understanding of Quantum theory, you would scan the object, transform it to energy, transmit it, and at the other end you would get a mess as the objects quantum state would have changed in between the scanning and transformation.
And given the existence of other dimensions isn't proven yet - despite quantum theory, string theory and all the other theories, we have no empirical proof for any other dimension.
Just as well we can all suspend our disbelief or we'd be in serious trouble playing an RPG where we are large cybernetic lifeforms with teleportation, invisibility and other wierd techno babble![/glow]

Gonna have to look at the above posts again later on and figure it out....[/glow]

Maybe an ice blaster may have an effect on a ghost mode, since it frezzes the air around were it is shot.

[glow=blue,2,000]Then laser bolts would have an affect since they heat up the air they pass through I would think. I've allowed mass sound waves in large doses to stop Morpher. The degree of sound used rocked Morpher's audios so much is cause him a great deal of pain that he lost control of his ghost power and began solid again. So a powerful sonic blast aimed at his head could do the trick, but you couldn't see him so it be a hard endeavour to perform.[/glow]

K cool, so just preety much soundwaves will work, nothing else?
Hey if he did get frozen with an iceblaster whilst in ghost mode, couldn't he just float out of it?
