Carlo@lemmy.ca 2 months agoThat’s what bugged me about this meme: as @Turun@feddit.de points out above, you’d have to travel billions of years into the past in order to wind up that far away. Nobody using a time machine would have any reason to do that, unless it was part of some fiendish plot against humanity, à la the Temporal Cold War from Star Trek: Enterprise. We should all demand more accuracy in our science memes.

Actually for me the conclusion from my math was that it’s surprisingly possible to get millions of light years away from earth with just time travel. As such I consider the meme to be scientifically accurate.
Seeing earth as a lava planet or the primordial soup of life would be pretty sick!

Definitely a totally valid read! I try to indulge my pedantic impulses without being too obnoxious. And I didn’t mean to imply that you were also being critical of the meme.
