There’s a ton of issues with time travel. That could be one, but most fictional time-travel devices can be said to accommodate for the difference in distance. It would just be boring to explain on-screen.

That’s how ive always thought of these things in my head.
but imagine if you could set it to the same time but different distance, it would allow you to teleport, that might be too strong.
