With the risk of sounding like a total dumbfxck, I wanted to ask about this thought that popped into my head today.
Now, the Earth is making its trip around the Sun at a certain velocity and the Sun's gravity is affecting the Earth a certain way and let's say there are some other worlds - alive or not - moving at great speeds relative to the Earth's frame of reference with different gravitational effects. Wouldn't that mean there are planets/planetary systems whose birth and death can happen in a blink of an eye in Earth's frame of reference? Or vice versa, someone on one of those worlds snaps his/her/its fingers and our solar system is born and destroyed within the "time" it took it/her/him to do so?
If so, then in a science fiction type of a setting, even with wormhole/stargate technology, it would take extreme luck or extreme precision for a possible civilisation on a world like that to "jump" to this solar system when AND where it still exists/existed/will exist.
