So I was watching Back to the Future, and something occurred to me. Other than the clear violations of time travel protocol, I think the main problem is not with time, but with location.

 

The earth is moving around the sun at about 67000 mph. The entire solar system is moving as well as the milky way galaxy. So nothing would be in the same place and when Marty travels through time, he would materialize in the middle of space. Not a good idea if you are travelling in a delorean.

 

Just something I noticed and wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts on the matter. Maybe I am missing something.

That does answer some questions, but in my example (BTTF), it is never addressed. 

 

That's what the Flux Capacitor is for, spacetime displacement.

 

Everyone knows that a DeLorean is capable of FTL speeds so all of the rest of that stapled on crap is what manages his position in the universe.

I was just thinking about this movie today. That stupid All State radio ad came on, where the guy crashed into the only pine tree in Lone Pine, CA.

Did you ever notice that in 1985, before any time travel had taken place, the name of the mall was Twin Pines mall? Then when Marty traveled back to 1955, he crashed into a small pine tree. When he returned, the name of the mall was Lone Pine mall.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I could smell this excuse coming. Any starter drafted after the 2nd is a bonus, not an expectation. Oh we need more offensive help because we spent so much on defense. We spent all that because we've barely drafted any defensive starters the last 5 years. The way I see it you'll get a better return on investment in defense than offense currently with this team. We proved that last year with just a modicum of investment in the defense. I'm not the biggest believer in Evero but I trust him more than Bryce.  The biggest factor holding the offense back wears #9. Accuracy is one of his strengths? 23rd in the league while being 30th in Y/A. Someone will claim we get no YAC but 49% of our yards were YAC which is higher than most teams in the league.  Unless he drastically improves you're going to get a bad return on investment. Yes TMac had a great rookie year but it wasn't exactly efficient volume wise. He has one of the worst catch % in the league at just 57%, probably related to that 23rd accuracy ranking.

      If this team lets the Bucks or Bulls catch them, Charles Lee should be fired immediately and punched in the face by some random fan on the way to his car.

      Bucks and Bulls have to try hard to tank and not take our play in spot at this point, still not mathematically eliminated I think but too tired to do the math, too close for comfort either way to close out the regular season in a drought
