I wouldn’t interpret 7 inches as the amount of a gap you can cross - I would interpret it as literally translating your body 7 inches in one direction. Unless you can fit your body between two planes 7 inches apart, you’re not going to be teleporting through any barriers.

Definition of teleportation: “Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.” Again this is scifi stuff at this moment. So with this definition I can technically cross barriers which are less than 7 inches like for example glass panes

  Right. So stand one inch in front of a piece of glass. Your nose teleports 7” forward and is now 6” behind the glass. All good. Your tongue teleports 7” forward and is now 5” behind the glass. Still good. Your cheeks teleport 7” forward and are now 4” behind the glass… Your ears teleport 7” forward and are now 3” behind the glass… Your spine teleports 7” forward and is now just barely behind the glass… Your shoulder blades teleport 7” forward and are now still in front of the glass. Your ass cheeks teleport 7” forward and are still well in front of the glass.
