Even if time travel were possible, the when isn’t as big a problem as the where. The earth is spinning around the axis while wobbling and then orbiting the sun which is hurtling through space along with the rest of the universe.

Doesn’t really matter if I can go forward or backwards in time, if the where of the when is in the middle of empty space when I get there.

In order to travel through time, you have to be able to accurately and effortlessly travel through space.

Right. You could wind up in the depths of a star or nowhereville. The calculations to arrive at the where in your chosen time frame are probably impossible.

You need a TARDIS.

The fact that everything in the universe is always in motion is the biggest failure of most time-travel stories.
