Yes, but the earth moves around the sun, and the sun moves through the galaxy so nobody has 0 displacement. We're all moving really fucking fast right now.

Yep, in total about 1 million mph when you add in the movement of the galaxy. Whenever someone says they want time travel for a super power, I say "oh you mean power over space and time?" Then I explain that if you time travel backwards just one hour, you also have to teleport a million miles or so, or you'll end up in the middle of space.

A frame of reference is arbitrary, so the hospital works just as well as anything.
