You are sort of missing my point.
If you leave Pt A and reach Pt B instantaneously (wherever that ends up; good luck), ANY time you spend at that location is allowing Pt A to slip away at a high rate of speed. You return to your original "place" Pt A 24 of your hours later and it's gone.
Like I said, magic or some fierce mathematics.
Even Stargate had a device to suck them back to a planet. It wasn't a random shot of luck.
But they still had to use chevrons as a code to establish data points (galaxies which all have moved independently of each other)...
A giant hole in the theory.
I still liked the movie though.

I see what you mean... but you always need to take that into account when travelling through space... when NASA sends a robot to Mars they don't send it to where Mars is... they send it to the point where Mars will be at the time it arrives... a spaceship with warp drive would work the same way..
Stargate was great...real ancient aliens.. and they are evil...
