Comment on Elevators might just be Teleporters in disguise

I always think of what my dog thinks of elevators. She knows you get in it, get out, and you’re somewhere else, but does she understand it in the same way as a car? Or more like pure magic? Because in a car, she can see it moving, and going somewhere else, she doesn’t just teleport there… Idk, shower thoughts, I guess.

Same goes for medicine in general. You take a pill, and headache goes away. How did that happen? Ask a pharmacist/biochemist/etc. Everyone else might just intuitively think of it as magic.
What about phone calls then? How does your voice travel so far? Feels pretty magical, doesn’t it?
