Yes, this is exactly my point, we're getting at exactly the same thing! Like ok great you have the tech to travel through space and time... now how do you know where to go!?
Would really love to hear an answer from someone who knows any of this stuff. (not that we can trust random people on HN but still)
But I've always thought a similar thing, that in Sci-Fi shows and so on, jumping in time would mean you would have to move in space too!
If you jumped back in an hour you'd be floating in space...
To time jump in the same building would require all sorts of prior knowledge about the 3D space... even the ground could be higher or lower... let alone the position of the actual planet.
Sci-Fi treats time and space as different things!
