I was watching back to the future part three the other night and it helped me notice something fundamentally wrong with nearly all time travel movies.
The whole concept of the same space in a different time is all wrong,the train tracks wouldn't be in the same space at all because the earth is constantly turning.Think about it,even travelling a few hours in time would dump you at some far flung corner of the earth.Apart from that the earth is moving around the sun as well as being in a rotating spiral arm of a galaxy that's moving at how many millions of miles an hour away from the centre of the universe. (Pauses for breath) if you don't believe me just listen to monty python's song which explains it better than me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk
Therefore what would actually happen every time Marty or the doc makes a jump in time they would find themselves in the middle of deep space and would quickly suffocate.
Feel free to point out anything else that doesn't quite add up in Back to the Future here.
