This is going to be one of a number of threads I'll start that address questions that I have, and wonder if they are on any body else's mind. I've never posted before so I'll try to keep it brief and see what you have to say.
I make the assumption that time travel will at some time exist, even if it is now. I figure that one of the kinds of time travel I hear about would be a sort of teleportation.
I wonder, how would you counter the inertial effects of teleportation (re-materializing) from the surrounding environment when you do said time travel?
If i travel back in time I will materialize in the space assigned, with basically, a giant earth hurtling at me at thousands of miles an hour. As soon as i materialized, wouldn't the planet just smash into me?
I understand there would have to be a kind of inertial dappeners, but is anybody working on this, or is there science that makes this moot?
