I wouldn’t interpret 7 inches as the amount of a gap you can cross - I would interpret it as literally translating your body 7 inches in one direction. Unless you can fit your body between two planes 7 inches apart, you’re not going to be teleporting through any barriers.
For me the decision comes down how this teleportation power works. If you can teleport 7 inches but in rapid succession and can do so while also running you’ll effectively have super speed.
Definition of teleportation: “Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.”
Again this is scifi stuff at this moment.
So with this definition I can technically cross barriers which are less than 7 inches like for example glass panes
transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them
Right. So stand one inch in front of a piece of glass. Your nose teleports 7” forward and is now 6” behind the glass. All good. Your tongue teleports 7” forward and is now 5” behind the glass. Still good. Your cheeks teleport 7” forward and are now 4” behind the glass… Your ears teleport 7” forward and are now 3” behind the glass… Your spine teleports 7” forward and is now just barely behind the glass… Your shoulder blades teleport 7” forward and are now still in front of the glass. Your ass cheeks teleport 7” forward and are still well in front of the glass. You now have a plane of glass running through the entire length of your body, bisecting your ass, spine, shoulder blades, and the back of your head. The effect of this bisection is left as an exercise for the reader’s imagination.
Haha cool cool, I just understood what you meant. Yeah that makes sense. To cross barriers, It would either have to be way more than 7 inches or I have to be cartoonishly flat parellel to the barrier.
