The Alcubierre makes a 'warp bubble' in the space around the Drive. Within this bubble, things act relativistically the same, but things outside are stopped. Until, of course, they fall within the space of the bubble. And things that don't move along with the Drive could hit the edge and encounter the extreme curvature in space(-time) that makes all this theoretically possible. So what does gravity have to do with it, again?

Gravity is still not an issue in the case of the Alcubierre Drive. I'm assuming that in Jumper they could only transport a certain amount of mass, which they explained as having to do with gravity, which I guess it might since they probably don't explain it very well (never seen it, don't correct me if I'm wrong about the movie).

Point 1: Noone would know because teleporting (in the sense that we are discussing) does not exist. Point 2: I promise you, if everyone were born with teleporting, it would not be fun. Teleporting would be awesome, but in itself not fun at all. Driving is not about the goal, it's about the journey. Teleporting does not have a journey, therefore it cannot be fun to teleport because it only lasts for an extremely short amount of time.

TELEPORTING is more fun!

Driving is A LOT of fun ;)

Huh. Well I guess they have to appear normal sometimes. But then again, they could just teleport a car to wherever they are going.

Holy Crap. I just realized something. Most teleporters I've seen in movies know how to drive. Why would any teleporter learn how to drive?!

Thank you for the info follower of the Sith. And there are other theories like interdimensional travel and the ever so crude deconstruction of matter which, I suppose is a subsidiary of abercrombieandfitch drive (did i pronounce it correctly?)the point is (if I have one) gravity should effect them all differently. Except one.

sorry Alcubierre should have been spelled with 2 'r's there ... my bad

Well, teleporting either requires manipulating spacetime (similar to the way Alcubiere Drives would theoretically work here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubiere_Drive) or projecting molecules at near-light speed, which is much less scientifically viable. Since gravity distorts spacetime its very likely affect this power. More so if teleporting interstellar distances obviously, but a character that could manipulate gravity would cause it some hassle.

Which form of teleportation is being used here? A scifi & comic book dork such as I must know these things.

Well I'll tell you. If you have seen jumper or if you have some logic there is a limit to what you can teleport. For instance if your gravity is multiplied you have to know of how much weight you are teleporting... at least I think that would be it I'm not exactly sure.

justin  (7/06/2009 at 3:32 p.m.)

In what way? For all intents and purposes, gravity shouldn't be an issue when teleporting.

Does gravity affect this power?

Haha love this power as Nightcrawler is my fav X-Men character. <br><br> Power of 3...hum. Have I heard that before? Oh yes...I WATCH CHARMED!! Glad to see another fan out there.

Freakin awesome. All I have to say.
