    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.
