Memories traveling at the speed of light?

A few of us were sitting in a club last Saturday afternoon drinking some beer, when someone on the television mentioned time travel. We started talking about the subject and somebody mentioned something that I had never considered.
As everybody knows, the Earth orbits the Sun and the entire solar system moves through the galaxy. If you were to build a working time machine and go back one hundred years, you would find yourself floating in space, because the Earth hadn't got here yet. In order for time travel to work the way people think it would work, the time traveller would have to not only be able to travel through time, he would also have to have a way of travelling through space to where the Earth was at.
When they say earth, and the galaxy are traveling at X miles per hour ...... it is, .... and yet it isnt. this movement is caused by space still expanding from the big bang.

No. It's recalled in an instant at the speed of light. The instance is a time unit.
A conscious focus can "travel" to the memory.

But, i find it funny that he claimed you could only travel back in time but not forward. I.E 2010 to 1950 then back to that day in 2010. But not 2010 to 2011.
