I was thinking earlier today about how ridiculous the concept of time travel is, on so many levels. Never mind that everthing in the universe is moving, so if you are at Point A at a certain time, at any time in the past or future, that position will not be there. And then there is this, what I was really thinking about, if someone goes back in time, they are changing the sum total of events from that point on, even if some are seemingly meaningless. What this means is that they have created a new time line, which will continue unless, and most likely, until, either they, or someone else goes back in time, resulting in an endless stream of new timelines, and even if the new timeline seems to have created a new stability, at some time in the future, even distant future, someone could go back in time and reset the timeline again. It would be like the movie "Groundhog Day" at the scale of the universe.
Swear it wasn't me that gave you the down vote... Kek
I will do a post explaining exactly how it works and why the above is a misunderstanding of how time works but it would be unfair to do it here on someone else's OP.
I will say this, "space" & "time" are both illusory in the way we think we currently understand them.
Everything that has ever happened or ever will happen is all occurring at this exact moment simultaneously.
"Space" as we understand it is not real because everything is connected and does not exist separately ("in 3D space") from anything else.

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once"
--The earliest confirmed use of a similar quote is from a 1921 science fiction story by Ray Cummings titled "The Time Professor."
Something about "in a twinkling of god's mind". Sometimes you just have to experience it to understand it.
Would really like to see this.
