TopicYou use a time machine, and go back in time several thousand years

Actually, considering the possible ways to build a time machine, many would not have this problem, as it reverses the universe around a specific point (including the movement through the universe/galaxy of that point). The only significant difference is the items within the machine are in stasis (so do not change at all while the rest of the universe reverses all actions for X amount of time/actions.

If you just suddenly moved through time backwards, you would explode right away when the atoms of whatever is in the time machine collide with other mater/energy in it's path at super fast speeds.

Instead, you just basically reverse the math of the universe, and every action that happened in the entire universe (or possibly within a specific field), happens in reverse order.

If it's in a field, then that field would still move forward through time, andonly the items inside the field would reverse (so you would not move at all in space/time, but the items inside the field would grow younger, or move through time in reverse. This could allow someone to become young again for instance.

If you reverse the entire universe except those things within stasis fields, you could travel back through time in effect, but unless you are in space away from any planets affects, your object would still remain within it's field and not move (at least until you went back far enough for that planet to no longer exist).

Now, if you traveled through time by leaving this universe all together, and moving backwards in time in another universe before returning, then you would be out in the middle of space etc. That being said, you could actually calculate where everything would be at any set time, and if you could move through both time and space in the other universe, you could figure out where in this universe you need to return in order to actually be both when and where you want.

All comes down to how much information you have, and how you are traveling through time.

That is the TLDR version.
