First thing that is to be understood is that when you think about Time
Traveling, you cant just think about traveling in time. You have to
travel in Space and Time. One can't be left without the other.
Now, when you have to travel in space-time, there would be several thousands of calculations to be made. Just to give you a glimpse, one has to calculate the earth's rotation around itself which is close to 1000 miles per hour, our earth also rotates around the sun at a whopping 18.5 miles/sec, our solar system rotates at around 514,000 mph (143 mi/s) within its trajectory around the galactic center. Our gigantic galaxy (it is so huge that its spread across 100,000 light years) is also moving through space, as our space is ever expanding.
Now just try to fathom the magnitude of calculations, the decimal places could go to billions and billions if not infinite. Lets just say we are somehow able to calculate this using some super computer with Quantum processors. Still, we haven't got any idea about what lies beyond our universe. Are there multitudes of them? or is the universe just a blip in a bigger picture, that we couldn't even dream off!. And how will it affect the math.
A single decimal going wrong would simply mean you could end up in the middle of a cold dark universe or even worse - near a giant yellow star.
