Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Depends where you place the coordinate origin, no?

I guess it depends on the sort of time machine. I'm thinking the H.G. Wells variety- a machine you get in or on and it takes you back in time, but to the same location.

That's also how it works in Back to the Future.

That's not what the same location means.

Also, now lets talk about relative speed differences!

What does it mean?

Well if you time trivel to "the same location" then that would be in space somewhere because the planet had moved on.

In films you travel to another location, which is where the earth is now/then.

Also, we rocketeer forwards on this spinning globe, so if you time travel 6 months, the planet will be going in the opposite direction (and also be on the other side of the sun ofc.) so iven if you move yourself there, you'd get smashed against the planet at high speed or ejected away from it at high speeds probably be killed by the atmosphere if by nothing else.
