One thing that often bothers me and that is left out from almost any time travelling story is problem of LOCATION of your target in time-space continuum.
Let's say you travel just one hour in your past. You click time travel device and it sends you to same location where you are right now, but 1 hour earlier.
Simple so far?
But Earth WASN'T here one hour ago... it was some 67000 miles away - taking in consideration only Earth's orbit around Sun. And Sun also is in orbit around garvity center of Milky way and orbits it at 135 miles per hour. While Milky Way is also in orbit in our local cluster, which is again part of larger cluster...
So, how do you get in precise location?

I am sorry if i reopened some old discussion, but this is something that always bothers me when i see time travelling... Space isn't static, it is in constant motion and further you go from your own time, the further you need to be from your current location in space.
You don't have to just travel in time, you need very complicated calculations to get to acctual location (if it is even possible to do it at all)

The Earth rotates on its axis at about 1,100 miles an hour, a motion that creates day and night.
The Earth orbits the sun at about 67,000 miles an hour, a motion that takes one year.
The sun circles the Milky Way at a speed of about 486,000 miles per hour. And every object in the universe is moving apart from the other objects as the universe expands at a constantly accelerating rate.
