That assumes that when travelling through the so-called fourth dimension
one still exists in the normal 3 dimensions!
It doesn't work that way!  In fact, if it did,
as soon as something else was put in "that exact spot"
the time machine would run into it!  (No two objects can occupy the
same space AT THE SAME TIME!)
