Whew, I had to read that several times.
But, as I understand it (which is tenuously, at best :-), that wouldn't work, because the assumption that space is fixed and matter is moving around in it is now guessed to be wrong. The latest theory I know of is that space itself is expanding, which means that the lines you used to figure out where/when you want to go would be curved.
Also, there's no guarantee that "until where you want to be is where you are" will ever be true - maybe the point I want was never on the time line with where I am.
Then again, if you could go back to the big bang, when everything was close together, then it's a short distance from here to the other side of the galaxy. But living conditions were not quite right.
Anyway, it's time to say good night, Gracie.

Now, aren't you sorry you didn't take calculus for what was it, three semesters?
