This is the major plot fail for time travel in tv, and film. The tardis is pretty much the one time machine that wouldn't just be drifting in space, or in a star.
Any temporal displacement equipment that's stationery on a planet would send whatever back or forward in time, but not space.
Relativity suggests that's true… and not true… simultaneously. It really just depends on your perspective. Choosing a different reference point can change what is considered in motion relative to that point. But the reference point never moves.

I suspect you haven't heard about relativity
Everything is moving relative to something, and calculus describes movement, so mathematics is fundamental to the universe :D
My notepad and legal pad are stationary
they're stationery (i think)
