That's not "time." That's just objects changing shape/form/energy/whatever. Can you reverse those changes? Well, if you could, you'd have a "time machine"...but it wouldn't be traveling through time itself, just states of being...
Quote:My point is that there is an external reality, and the time we experience and are stuck in doesn't exist there like it does here.
Wait...what?
