    I guess it depends on the sort of time machine. I’m thinking the H.G. Wells variety- a machine you get in or on and it takes you back in time, but to the same location.

    That’s also how it works in Back to the Future.

      That’s not what the same location means.

      Also, now lets talk about relative speed differences!

          Well if you time trivel to “the same location” then that would be in space somewhere because the planet had moved on.

          In films you travel to another location, which is where the earth is now/then.

          Also, we rocketeer forwards on this spinning globe, so if you time travel 6 months, the planet will be going in the opposite direction (and also be on the other side of the sun ofc.) so iven if you move yourself there, you’d get smashed against the planet at high speed or ejected away from it at high speeds probably be killed by the atmosphere if by nothing else.
