OK, here's one, time travel geniuses. Let's say you time travel to another time, where in space do you end up? Most would assume in the same spot you left. But the spot you left is NOT THE SAME SPOT IN TIME!! It's safe to guesstimate the earth has never been in the same spot twice. According to some website, the earth spins 30KM a minute. That's like 2 miles. Or 80 miles, I'm a geek but I don't convert metric. Whatever, get in your car and look at the KM on your odometer instead of miles. When you get to 30, think of how far you'd get in an hour. We do it EVERY MINUTE!
The earth revolves around the sun 1800KM in a minute. We basically live on the teacups. On top of that, our solar system revolves around the Milky Way Galaxy 15,000KM in a minute, and THE GALAXY is moving 18,000KM a minute. Plus, the universe is constantly expanding so you're moving even faster. So I think I did the math right, we are moving almost 600KM a second. So if you travel through time, you are likely to end up in empty space or inside of a random star. Be prepared for that.
If there's some sort of teleporter involved, I guess you can do the calculations and figure out where in space you'd need to be at a certain spot in time, but I think at that point you might as well forget time travel because the space travel teleporter machine is probably more marketable. What's the point of going back in time to plunder gold from the ancient Egyptians and bang Cleopatra if you can just find an asteroid made of gold and bang an alien?
