Eliminating fear

[Shannon]

Considering that we're all moving about 67,000mph in orbit around the sun, and the sun orbits the galactic core at 500,000 mph, isn't temporal jumping without teleporting instadeath? If so, that would explain why no one has successfully reported time travel.

I was wondering who would bring that up.

Temporal jumping without moving in space is going to kill you if you did not "land" in a place where t is possible for your body to survive. But, is it possible to do that when you jump temporally, or is it that since time and space are the same thing being expressed in different ways, you would automatically land in such a place relative to where you started, based on the flow of the temporal locality in which you started? In other words, is the flow of movement you undergo an expression of the flow of time in which you now exist, and somehow dependent upon it? I suspect that this is the case, with time existing in locality-based "flows" which tie "timestreams" (which would be similar to ocean currents) within an "ocean of time" to specific localities.

If I am right, a person time-jumping from Earth would always be transported to the point on earth from whence they jumped temporally, because that location is part of the timestream in which they are jumping. If they went "straight downstream". If they did not go straight downstream, but veered side to side while doing so, locality would also shift. But in a jump, the destination is usually chosen beforehand, thus making it possible to prevent that possibility, or cause it, at will.

That's the best theory I have at present, at least.
