    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
