Problem with a time machine that you can only use once is, it will dump you into empty space. Either the earth has gone past the spot, or the earth hasn't reached the spot yet.

If you do it, your best bet is to go into the future. Do it inside a glider that can enter the atmosphere and glide to the earth safely. That way, if the earth ever catches up to the position you are at, you will be ready to glide back.

Odds are, however, that you will be taking your planetary motion with you, along with your time movement. This means that you will be completely lost in space once you get there, always a little ahead of the earth, or - if you go past - a little behind it.

Be careful about jumping only a split second. You just might wind up inside the earth. Don't know what would happen with your material trying to occupy the same position that some other material is occupying. But it might cause such a nuclear explosion that it would knock the whole earth over into the next solar system, or something.

space and time are like intertwined.  so if you go back on the same time line, it's not gonna like separate the space-time portions

I think i will go back in the past, maybe 2 000 years ago, at the time of Roman empire or 500 years ago, at the time when Columbus discovered America.
It's so many great choices Smiley

Actually, I think it might be even worse than that: in your scenario, you seem to be assuming the jump will at least leave you somewhere in the Solar System, so you could try to time your jump to coincide with a suitable location - but in reality, not only does the Earth move around the Sun, but the Sun moves around the Milky Way in a ~250 million year cycle, and the Milky Way also moves in relation to cosmological frames of reference.

So, anyone carelessly using a time machine will likely end up in empty space, and very, very far from where they intended to be.

legally the only reason one would have to go back in time is to prevent crimes #TimeMachineForCops
There are no man made laws regarding time travel, but if there were, are you implying that legally one could not even go back in time to view Halley's Comet or attend a Beatles concert?

correct.  waste of resources.  lets stop Ted Bundy instead

I'll consider travel to the future if is better than the present i'll stay, because the current situation is not good, but a good future is created now in the present.

I will go to the future 100-1000 years from now. I'm very curious what will happen in the future. But my main reason to go the future is the find immortality.
