This scene made me wonder how her teleportation ability deals with conservation of momentum... since it appears she just switches places with the air in her target location, the displaced air would have to be supersonic to stop her momentum.

Esper abilities flat-out rely on making fun of the laws of physics: you force your subjective reality on the world when using Esper powers, the more messed-up your subjective reality, the more powerful you are. Just think of the unnamed bank robber's Equal Speed ability, which negates Newton's First Law, in that even if acted upon by an outside force, the affected object stays in motion; Uiharu negates entropy itself, the most basic law of thermodynamics. I think breaking the conservation of momentum is the least of the universe's worries at this point...

Yeah, in the end that's true. So "science"-based esper power and religion-based magic are pretty much the same in that regard.

I think I can stop killing catgirls thinking about this series now.
