Reply to comment by above_average_magic in What if time travel is impossible because of this? by [deleted]

If you fix the position issue you just invented long distance space travel IMO.

Ha yes!

However personally I think any two way time travel has to be "gate to gate." So if ever invented it would only work for periods of time which are forward in time, from the time of the invention/installation/go-live. Which would also be positional in a sense but wouldn't really be more broadly usable like you want to hack it

This is a good point, since spacetime is a thing. If you can travel time, you will definitely be able to travel space. The wormhole concept has to apply for spacetime together.
