Where does the energy go if you are already moving when you teleport?

If you are in fact moving, there'd be momentum, like you say. But if you don't? If you just sit there, and teleport from one comfy armchair into another, not changing anything about your position?

Well you see, there’s also the problem that if you teleported and it got rid of your momentum, unless something immediately speeds you back up to the speed of the earth, it will just woosh past you. Even if something like the air sped you up, while it’s speeding you up, the friction would likely tear you apart.

That goes back to my point about the humble electron.

There are a ton of things moving in your body all the time regardless if you are sitting still of not. The only thing that I can think of that would be drastically impacted by instant cancellation of momentum is electrical signals. I admit, that is absolutely pushing the boundaries of what I know about physics at that scale.

Stopping every electrical signal in your body simultaneously and assuming it will just resume spontaneously seems odd to me, is all.
