My man, the earth is rotating, it's not a valid reference point anyway.

But yea, best I have made it as far as time machine is concerned is approximating the trajectories, or even just mapping them for this specific purpose if the jump is not to a time previous to my creation, and bringing along the whole acceleration necessary to not get instantly smashed by unmatching motion on a galactic scale.

The fisical overlapping of matter I found can be solved by swapping the landing and the coming portion of space. Sure you may end up with stuff back in the lab, but it's a lot better than the vacuum and the atomic bomb that would trigger right after. And of course there's the simmetrical issue of pushing stuff out of the way where you land.

Given that, I never manager to get it to work in bursts longer than 0,0004 ms so I gave up. I also ran out of cats.
