Has the holy spirit fallen upon me and made it so I can fluently read and write in German while knowing only English and my native language where Ai is indeed female as well but that's beside the fucking point?
No, that's the whole point of a time machine. You need it to ignite and launch within a single quantum (or rather, as a hint, each of its action must last that long, you can still have multiple stages).
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.
I'm 90% with you. I think it would have been goat material if it could have really branched into 4 other worlds equally deep. The promise of such a thing, and its asyncronous narrative depth, were really good but the wonder wore off sooner than expected.
I'm well aware. I'm also well aware you will be hard pressed to find any wine that's to be server at cocktail level of cold.
Hence the triggering.
