Imagine the distant future when our telescopic capabilities have increased to the point of being to observe other solar system planets at a resolution allowing the viewing of life there.
If you think about it we are corkscrewing chaotically through space. Even the orbits of the major planets are hard to predict very far into the
future. Every iota of mass in the universe is inflicting some measure of force on the rest of the mass.
With all that moving around, I wonder what is the true rate of speed someone on Earth travels?
Zathras could tell you but then Zathras would have to kill you.

It’s always midnight somewhere....................
Time travel is not impossible, but it is impractical.
There is nothing in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to prevent time travel, we just haven’t come up with a machine that can manipulate it yet.
The universe and everything in it is in motion, in some direction or other.
Let’s say you suddenly invented a working Time Machine.
You step inside, manipulate the controls and you vanish from this ‘time’ to wherever your destination in ‘time’ was set.
You immediately die.
Lack of an atmosphere, no air and temperature near absolute zero.
Because the Earth and Sun and the Milky Way galaxy is not where you are at that point in ‘time’. With your dying thought you suddenly realize that you moved along the ‘Time Axis’, but not along the ‘Spatial Location’ axis.
Even if your destination was only a fraction of a second, plus or minus, this would happen, since the speed at which everything is moving adds up to thousands of miles an hour........................
5 o'clock, too.

Steven Wright observations concerning Time:
“Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.”
“I took a course in speed waiting. Now I can wait an hour in only ten minutes.”
“OK, so what’s the speed of dark?”
“I was in a job interview, and I opened a book and started reading. Then I said to the guy, ‘Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?’ He said, ‘I don’t know.’ I said, ‘I don’t want your job.’”
“I went to a restaurant that serves “breakfast at any time.” So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.”
“I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.”
“The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.”
Yes but wouldn’t Zathras just love to whisper it into Ivanova’s lovely ear?
