    So I was thinking(yeah, I'm watching the latest episode of Star Trek Picard) if you actually made a working time machine it still wouldn't work. You wouldn't be able to go kill Hitler or be the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll. The earth is flying through space right, so if you came back a day before now, you'd just be dumped in empty space and if you had a spacesuit with 24 hours oxygen you would just see the earth coming towards you until it smashes right into you.

    I'm pretty sure the earth has never been in the exact same spot twice since we're chasing the sun across the galaxy, so you couldn't just set it to a specific date and time to land on the earth either.

      Editing … I had in my thoughts about time travel on earth another problem! Going millions of years back location locked will be also a likely failure. Reason is plate tectonics, 300 million years ago germany wasn't around 50° north like today, beeing likely around 25° north ("europe" a desert), west /east location off as well. So back then ending up in an ocean is the likely fate, only with luck ending up in Scandinavia!

      Editing … Good point. And just say you hit land by luck, what if a dinosaur, or a person if you only went back a short time, just happened to be in that spot?! You'd be like Jeff Goldblum out the movie The Fly.

      Editing … I actually think there's more to the jfk story than they tell us. It makes no sense for a random nightclub owner to just murder the presidents assassin. Owald was going to be sentenced to death anyway, so why throw your life and freedom away over 2 random guys you don't know and did nothing to you? Nah, there's some secrets that somebody wanted to be kept secret. My theory is that jfk was bent and all his dirty little secrets were getting close to being a major scandal, the suspicious death of monroe just months before probably ties in too.
