** ''Rotational physics'': It's a given that with most teleportation stories that "whatever is 'down' is always 'down'", so teleporting to another location won't leave you at an angle to floor[-/-]ground - for example teleporting to the exact opposite side of the earth the character won't usually end up upside down and thus falling or standing on their head.
** ''The Conservation of Momentum'': Everything in the universe is moving relative to everything else - spaceships, planets, everything. For example, the surface of the earth is revolving at a different rate at each latitude, meaning a character would have to compensate for speed the father location north or south they teleported to.
