dream_weasel,

Suppose you get the location right too, I assume the difference in momentum will… not be forgiving.

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

SkyNTP,

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

nieceandtows,

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.

Knusper,

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.

WarmSoda,

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.
