I mean, I know very little about theory of relativity besides general
definition, so can somebody with more scientific mind explain to me
how the Apparating is not in contradiction with it?

KEN:
I really havn't had time to explore all the nuances involved here but let's have a go anyway.
It seems to me that apparition involves the disappearance from one place and the instantaneous appearance somewhere else. Somewhere else may be hundreds of miles (kilometres) away. This means that speeds must be close to those of light. From what I know of the theory of relativity which is very incomplete, to be generous. This is impossible.
