EVERY TIME GOING posted:

To be successfully sent back in time you have to overcome at least two known barriers which are yet to be proven as surmountable by any of the scientific fields. The first is the act of storing physical matter as energy for transportation over any distance, as well the complementary task of reconstituting the encoded energy back into a living physical form.

The second, if the big bang theory is to be adopted, is due to universal expansion resulting in an unrecoverable loss of entropy compounding with each passing second. Meaning unless our universe suddenly starts making GBS threads out pure unadulterated photons out of dark nothingness thereby able to keep up with its ever-expanding but cooling fatbody, having your time machine appear in a more energetic environment than in this current moment is a slight contradiction.

Sorry OP, but the sad truth is that is it simply impossible for you to rewind the hands of time in order to fulfill your incestuous desires with each one of your long-dead uncles.

there is also the fact that the earth wouldn’t be in the same place, it’s in orbit around the sun and the solar system is wobbling around the galaxy, which is spinning like a big ninja star in multiple directions

you’d pop into existence in the blackness of space with the earth somewhere far away

our linear perception of time is probably not very accurate to how the universe works either it’s just a convenient convention we all agree on

here is a fun fact- time is affected by gravity.

some satellites orbit closer to earth, and some farther.

the far satellites are experiencing less of the affects of gravity and time literally passes differently on them.

if you have like, cellphone info being bounced off of a satellite to other satellites to get the signal to the other side of the earth, you have to account for the minute differences in the time the clocks in each satellite have
