This is the number one reason why time travel would never work, even if it was totally possible to do it. You back in time 50 years and you pop into existence 50 years ago in the vacuum of space and you can't even tell which of those dots is our sun. Then most of you comes out of your mouth and anus and you die.
That's why you have to use math power and compensate for that shit. The time machine would have to move in time AND space. I'm pretty sure that if you could crack the time travel bit the other one would be a breeze. That's if we're talking about the DeLoraen style of travelling.

Re: The cool photos thread (Bandwidth Warning, Yo!)
So, we already have the ability to accurately calculate the exact location of an entire solar system years down the road, and the ability to use all of that data to gravity swing a probe into deep space (Or hell, even just land on one of the damn things) without any human intervention, (the mars 7 minutes of hell anyone?) But the ability to math that shit up for time travel. TOTALLY not happening?
Please. Spare me.

A functional time machine would have to move through time, not just pop from destination to destination. The machine would obey physical laws as it moves. Meaning that the machine would be present constantly, while time travelling.
If travelling from, say, 2012 to 2030, there would be a mysterious, unopenable machine sitting somewhere for 18 years.

It's a neat visualization of the solar system's journey through space. That's what I meant to say.

Linear continuity is a moldy oldie. My time machine travels thru a dimensional vortex that I've calculated to connect my starting time and location to my destination time and location.

Well...no. We don't know whether the laws of physics make time travel possible or not. And even if they didn't and someone managed to build a working time machine anyway it would only mean that our laws need some more work. 'Popping' from place to place is the only way to go. Otherwise you just sit in a box for 50 years while moving backwards through time and by the time you reach 1962 you're a skeleton. Because the whole universe is moving it would be theoretically easier to pinpoint the location of earth in spacetime. If the sun was static then every 365 days the earth would reset it's position. But because our galaxy, the sun and earth travel through space at hundreds of km/s earth gets a specific and unique set of coordinates for each point in time. So all you have to do is to figure out how to calculate point A (departure) and B (destination) and jump between them in an instant.

Re: The cool photos thread (Bandwidth Warning, Yo!)
But exactly what are we moving relative to? The Sun? Another star? The gravitational centre of this galaxy? The gravitational centre of our local cluster of galaxies? Some other arbitrary point in the edgeless and centre-less universe? Coordinate systems require a fixed origin that everything else is relative to. Mathematician Phi chooses to define herself as the centre of the universe! This may make your math more difficult, but it sure simplifies mine

I almost want to frame that because I love it, but I can't, because I know Dorkman.
And Dorkman can't, because he is Dorkman.
Please take this like as the least I could do.

He lost a bet. http://www.clickonline.com/movies/uncut … kin/11068/
CLICK: I saw your Ali G one went up the other day.
WF: Yea that was a bet that I lost.CLICK: To who?
WF: Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. The bet involved the other person dressing up in a costume of the winner’s choice.CLICK: And it was Ali G?
WF: Yea because I had introduced him to Ali G when he was on TV over in England.
