    It’s sad how many people don’t get that “time” includes the relative placement of objects in space and that going back 50 years might mean Earth is in a difference physical location than yourself.

      I don’t get these arguments. If we ate talking about hypothetical scenarios when we invent time machine to go back to a particular point in time, why not assume we can also choose a particular point in space, predict where earth would be or view the space before you jump in yourself. This is just a simple comic anyway, not deep enough to talk about viability of time travel.

        It’s nice to think about things. Do you think thinking about things should be limited real things?

        If it was assumed that you can’t change the future but fork a new thread of reality instead, it would be as relevant.

        I agree with you, that it is OK if you don’t think there is a need for you to enter that train of thought, though.

          The beginning of your comment sounded aggressive and that others are idiots for laughing about this comic without considering limitations of time travel. Probably want your intention but that’s how it looked to me and why I left the comment. Never claimed we can’t talk about imaginary things, just that we don’t necessarily have to.

            I don’t know. I didn’t feel aggressive when I typed it. I was in a quite content mood, and I didn’t want to imply anything. Just needed to kill a few minutes while typing and was enjoying myself. So if it felt aggressive to you, I’m sorry.

            Yes, maybe then, I needed to point out that time travelling has its hardships, to which people turn a blind eye at times. And I’m sure an ironic tone was intended by me.
