I'm low-key annoyed when pop-sci articles and videos try to explain, say, Einstein's theory of relativity, and they say things move in the time axis. No they don't. That's the whole point. To move, you need time to pass. We are not moving in time, we exist in a certain span of time, in different places in space. You don't disappear from one point in time and appear in the next. Once you understand this, the whole idea of time travel, as pictured in books and movies, becomes pretty ridiculous.
