You would have to compensate for motion.
The entire Universe is constantly in motion.
Planets move. Their stars move. Their galaxies move.
In just one minute you have moved thousands of miles in space and don't even notice it.
So if you traveled in TIME, you would most likely end up immediately frozen in deep space with nothing much around you...................
“A physicist has APPARENTLY...”
Fixed.
I am your own Grandma! LOL.
Damn. So no do-overs of the many mistakes of my past?

Hey! A high minded science thought that I can actually grasp!
This is a good one!
No. Humans and every animate being and inanimate object are firmly embedded in the cause/effect sequence, and are incapable of leaving that mode of existence.
There is only being that stands outside of the cause/effect sequence, and that is God.
I wrote this paper 50 years from now. He stole it and came back to beat me to the punch.
Sure thing, now go sit down next to the jackass that thinks math is racist and two plus two is not really four.
I came up with math that shows me getting all A’s in school and I owe no taxes forever. And no paradox either. Cause the universe adjusts itself to be what I, in my infinite wisdom, know to be.
Nope! You get one chance....................
It seems to me that you might run into something (big) unexpectedly. The maps show where objects WERE, not where objects ARE, and the location of some of those objects are millions of light years out of date.
Time travel will never be invented, because someone would have come back to visit and that has never happened.
Go back and tell Eve to go on a diet.
Not true. An experiment was done and the result was proof that travel into the future is possible. It involved two clocks and a jet aircraft. I think we are all familiar with it.
Now...travel into the past? That is quite a bit more problematic.
A lot of folks have made very adamant statements regarding science only to be proven very wrong either a little or a lot later.
I don’t think you’ll be around long enough to find out, since it may be many, many years away, but someone will whisper it to the air and maybe you will hear it :)
There is also the ‘Conservation of Matter’ law to consider.
Every atom of your self, and any time machine you may invent, has existed in this universe and nowhere else.
If you go back to some other time, even a few minutes, that matter already exists and you would be introducing more matter into the universe that was there before. Big Bang.....................
Thanks Red Badger. Great, my time machine's almost finished.
