Similarly, I don't think of a time machine as going to a fixed point in absolute terms-- it's traveling relative to the Earth (which is relative to the solar system, which is relative to the etc....), so it's time traveling would be similarly relative to the Earth. It's not going to "feel" that shift in absolute space; it's going to remain relative to its inertia-ball.
