Relative to the position of the Earth, the Earth doesn’t move

SkyNTP, in Why there are no time travelers.

Weak premise considering the principles of relativity, and how our current understanding of time travel is basically rooted in SPACE-time.

nieceandtows, in Why there are no time travelers.

I don’t remember the name of the novel, so somebody help me with this. The concept is basically that scientists invent time travel, but use it as a teleportation device instead. Set the machine by a few seconds, you teleport the distance covered by the Earth during that time. They even use the technique to plan for an assasination of Kim Jong Un. Loved that one. Some innovative sequences using the ‘time machine’.

Edit: Found it. It’s actually two books (original and sequel).

Split Second - www.goodreads.com/book/…/26216031-split-second

and

Time Frame - www.goodreads.com/book/show/37946554-time-frame

The first book takes its time revealing the ‘time travel’, but the second book dives head first into using the technology proficiently.

Well, I’m glad we got to the bottom of what’s unrealistic about traveling back in time…

Well, I am traveling forward in time in home made Time Machine with the speed of one second per second. I do not see any problem you are describing. Now I just need to add the reverse, but I do not expect any issues of this kind either.

Not only is the earth never in the same spot, the solar system it’s never in the same spot either. Even our galaxy is moving.

This must be what Nuka-Cola is made of.

Don’t want to drink pure H₂O either…

Umbrias,

I mean, unless I’m missing something it should be fine as long as you get salts another way.

notacat,

Correct. I have no idea why people are freaking out over drinking water. We constantly eat and drink things that have wildly different osmolarity than our cells and yet here we still are. Our stomach and intestinal mucosa cells are not going to burst if we accidentally drink a milkshake (a hyperosmotic solution).

Jajcus,

Suprisingly mild and not very reactive. And I wondered if this even exists.

I'm sorry Russian cat girls? Wat?

May be referring to this: tomshardware.com/…/call-to-pause-superconductor-e…

Then the letter quickly establishes its case for caution, pausing superconductor experiments that could cause astonishing challenges. It asserts that the worlds of physics and technology could be changed forever, and this is backed by “top scientific institutions and Russian anime cat girls.”

Russian with a cat girl profile picture has been working on replicating this, posting their progress on Twitter

SkyeStarfall,

I believe it’s referring to this person twitter.com/iris_IGB
