Dang, I was going to say to the bunny pict, "...and to everyone else out there, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys."

traveling into the past until where you want to be is where you are; then traveling into the future *with* that point in space until you are back in the present, but say, on the other side of the galaxy, which is where you traveled to is, in the here and now.

Whew, I had to read that several times.

But, as I understand it (which is tenuously, at best :-), that wouldn't work, because the assumption that space is fixed and matter is moving around in it is now guessed to be wrong. The latest theory I know of is that space itself is expanding, which means that the lines you used to figure out where/when you want to go would be curved.
Also, there's no guarantee that "until where you want to be is where you are" will ever be true - maybe the point I want was never on the time line with where I am.

Then again, if you could go back to the big bang, when everything was close together, then it's a short distance from here to the other side of the galaxy. But living conditions were not quite right.

Anyway, it's time to say good night, Gracie.
