in this case you would end up in another timeline...

Yes.

The Earth is not moving in any absolute sense because there is no absolute frame of reference.

There is no such thing as only traveling through time, since there is no such thing as the "same place" in any absolute sense, only in a given frame of reference.

There is also no such thing as the same time, i.e. simultaneous events. If two events that are separate in space are simultaneous in one frame of reference, they will not be simultaneous in any other frame of reference.

All you can really say about the relationship between two events ("points in spacetime") is whether it is possible for information to travel between them. If yes, their relationship is "timelike", if no it is "spacelike"

that would mean you travel through time AND space.
in that case you wouldnt even need a spaceship to travel to other planets.
you just sit in your timemachine and travel to the coordinates...

>>7688952
No

are we talking two portals type time machine in which you can only travel back as far as the portal was first created and to its position at that time or are we talking about the usual movie time machine type where it can jump to any time?
The first does have a single position you can be at at the end of the time travel, the second doesn't but writers usually just say you end up at your current position relative to the earth.

Is this actually what you would see if you were going the speed of light?

>>7689163
no. when you travel @sol everything is dark
