Is it because our solar system is hurdling through space at over 1.5 million miles per hour, so anyone who time travels will find themselves alone in an empty void?
There's no universal frame of reference. Any theoretical time travel would likely need a beacon of some sort to calibrate their arrival point, meaning you couldn't travel back beyond the point time travel was established.
You know what they say: the best time to build a time machine is 50 years ago.
I think that's basically the movie Primer too, they'd turn the machine on, go hide in an apartment for X amount of time, then go back to the machine and emerge 5 minutes after they turned it on and just walked away.
But gravity effects time, sticking close to a planet isn't going to be hard.
Ironically enough the first (if we ever get them) time machines are going to be a hell of a lot like modern "UFOs" are described. You couldn't risk landing on the planet, elevation changes are what's really a nightmare to account for. Show up and hour early and everything is a foot higher because of how fast we're spinning.
So you'd want a space craft, because space is big and empty. And realistically it's going to take something bigger than a telephone booth or even the 1980s embodiment of Florida on four wheels with a hood designed to do cocaine off of to house a time machine.
Damn physic laws removing the fun from physics
Basically half the plot of quantum break
I've seen this take a lot it feels like and it boggles the mind why. If someone figures out time travel they ipso facto will have figured out the space travel as well.
If you can travel through time you can travel through space.
My theory is that time travel still follows the curve of the space time continuum.
Listen, dude: I’ve got a lot more concerts in my list before I get to your lame-ass party.
Would you have missed Metallica in Moscow for some party you assumed nobody would attend? Fuck no.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go sell all your grandmothers some really strong modern weed to get into Hendrix, New Year’s Eve, 1969.
Can’t wait to hear Machine Gun live.
Would you have missed Metallica in Moscow for some party you assumed nobody would attend? Fuck no.
Let's see... the egotistical pricks that sued anyone that wanted to like them... in an authoritarian shithole... or hanging out with Stephen Hawking...
Tough choice. Can I convince Lars to sleep in the disaster bed? Or help them with arrangements so that songs that have about 1 minute of interesting music don't have 8 minutes worth of filler?
lame-ass party
Since the time traveler would be from the future, he'd have already known that nobody went to the party.
My God... Is the fact that boomers think '60s weed was mind altering proof of time incursions from the dank future???
Boomers are weak
Goddamn so everyone's a bastard, eh?
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
