Reply to comment by captainstormy in What if time travel is impossible because of this? by [deleted]

If I fall asleep and wake up in the year 3000 (something I never could reach in a normal lifespan), I would say that’s time travel. The end result is winding up in a time that is not naturally my own.

If you lay there for 978 years before waking it. It absolutely isn't time travel. It can appear that way to you. But it isn't. Your body simply laid there for 978 years.

Agree to disagree, but Stephen Hawking used the term “time travel” to describe this very thing in Into the Universe.
