That reminds me of the "Back to the Future" films, in which the DeLorean time machine always came out its time warp all frosty and steamy, possibly out of vague deference to Einstein-esque notions of matter, energy, and spacetime (energy= mass x speed of light squared, so an object coming out of a time warp and thus slowing down from lightspeed would lose both mass and energy, which might steam it up a bit or maybe just freeze it solid ... insofar as I have any grasp at all of this). At the very least, Ben has surely teleported, as one would have to be inordinately stupid to wear a parka jacket in the Sahara. Much as I have questioned many of Ben's strategic decisions, I rate his intelligence more highly than that...
