Look at John Carpenter's Starman, so you will have some idea of the aliens's answer XD

I always thought that time travel could be gravitationally locked, so you'd end up somewhere on earth. If it was gravitationally attracted then you could end up in the middle of the earth. FYI: "The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 828,000 km/h (230 km/s) or 514,000 mph (143 mi/s) within its trajectory around the galactic center."

Obviously any viable method of time travel would also have to move in space at the same relative time. Yet another obstacle to creating working time travel.

Someone who is able to travel through time should have no problem to reach a specific location in space.

No. Due to the constant rotation of the galaxy, you'll end up in the middle of space, very, very far away.

I think not, because gravity - you're oriented to the Earth and your environment, not an arbitrary point in space. But you'd still want to avoid arriving underwater or in the middle of the freeway or something - earthly hazards.

No if you never left earth in the past or present wtf would you? When you rewind or forward a movie do the characters disappear because they're on some other scene no!

No. You would end up far, far away in the middle of space due to the rotation of the entire galaxy.

No, because the earth is flat, the sun revolves around earth and Australia doesn't exist. wait what??

If you have over 30 and have watched or read any Sci Fi and have not yet already asked yourself this....I mean....This is one of the most obvious problems with every time travel story.

It depends. You will get suffocated in the ground if it's too near.

Yep, but it would have to be a very short hop forward or backward. The earth is travelling around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour. The solar system itself is moving about 448,000 mph. So, travel in time five minutes into future or past and the earth will be at least 37,000 miles away at that point.

Compared to what, though? If the time traveller's position wasn't compared to the earth, what would be the reference point? Surely there wouldn't be one atom, one photon, one energy wave, anything that was the point everything else moved in comparison to. Okay, I did take this to mean that because the universe is expanding the time traveller would end up in the void of outer space. If it just means because the earth is rotating around the sun would the time traveller arrive in earth's orbit but not where the earth is, then that's a whole other question. My goodness.

It depends how you define your travel coordinates. If time travel has been achieved, by that point presumably you have an autopilot function built into your TARDIS. Set your coordinates relative to the Earth, or hand-compute your desired spatial location at the given time, and sorted

I guess it depends on your point of view, if you view it fom earth's perspective I guess not. But if you from Proxima, then the answer would most likely be yes

yes... the space-location bit of time-travel might be harder to crack than time-travel itself. Because how do you set a reference point? Earth is moving. the Milky Way is moving (relative to other galaxies). And the whole universe appears to be expanding... so yes... that part could be tricky.

Earth revolves around its own axis of rotation every 24 hours. It *orbits* the sun. AUTISTIC NERD RAGE

My first pc had 76 MHZ processor, 16 MB RAM, 250 MB hard drive, 12.5 inch black and white monitor, 5 1⁄4-inch floppy drive. I know the feeling! Too bad my mom threw it away years later when i was in college, it could have been a working miracle these days.

We'd know long before it got here. It would screw up the gravity of everything between it and us and be very noticeable.

I don't agree. I think most people love to see the awesome power of a space rocket lifting off and flying. Seeing one blow up isn't nearly as cool and it's a tragedy when people are on board. NASCAR, on the other hand is boring EXCEPT when cars are crashing.

My GPS told me to drive a few miles down the road, do a U-turn and come right back to where I was.
