      Walking through walls is perfectly possible… I do it regularly using an invention called a “door”. Seriously anything that let you walk through a wall would basically just be a door, though it might be a clever door.

      Sub atomic particles teleport all the time – its called Quantum tunnelling, where an electron jumps from one side of a transistor to the other, without passing through the middle. However its not possible to do this with large groups of electrons, so moving people around probably isn’t possible.
