500 years ago the earth was closer to the big bang than it is now. If you really want to visit the earth at that time you need space travel, not just time travel

any method of time travel would require moving through space anyway

we could actually "time travel" right now by building a spaceship and accelerating it close to the speed of light and eventually returning to earth. anyone still on the ship at that time would be relatively less aged than those who remained on earth

it’s amazing how you can be so pedantically spergy and STILL be so fucking wrong about everything. you can actually travel at any speed whatsoever (or not at all) but the time dilation factor will be *relative* to your speed vis a vis the speed of light. there is nothing magical about the speed of a gps satellite; that technology is just one of the few instances where practical technology involves speeds that entail (very minor) time dilation effects.

No, as the OP points out, Earth is not just moving around the Sun. The entire Solar System is also orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy at approximately 450,000 to 515,000 miles per hour, and the Milky Way itself is in turn hurtling through the abyss. Earth has never been at the same point in space as it was at any moment in time before.

you're talking about science fiction. if time travel was invented why wouldn't you think teleportation couldn't be invented. moving matter through space is something that already exists, so it seems like resolving that issue is more plausible than ever inventing time travel at all.

time travel involves movement in time relative to the current time which we define in a way that's useful to us. specifically, we use some arbitrary division of time into years, months, days, hours, seconds, and sub-seconds from a certain deity's birth (or seconds since midnight january 1, 1970 if you're a computer)

it also involves movement in space relative to some arbitrary location which we can define in a way that's useful to us. specifically, as the location of the time machine.

choose the origin of your space-time coordinate system properly and you can ignore all movement of the earth.
