(off topic) Hello Druss:
Time travel is possible on subatomic scale, just impractical. Some physicists maybe 5 years ago published their calculations showing quantum scale time reversals are possible for individual particles (subatomic). It may have been published in the British science journal, Nature. I don't recall if it was purely a quantum effect or if it held for extremely brief periods of continuous time. The extent of the time reversal was so small it made a microsecond look like ages. I remember clearly the impression the theory worked through okay, but even with my practiced imagination, I could not fathom any real world applications. The fantasy connection yet to be made would be the discovery that time is not continuous, but quantized, which would make the published theoretical work more meaningful (and probably follows some line of existing Sci-Fi storyline). However, at this point and undoubtedly for our best, the understanding of time remains in the hands of the Creator--and the ending of it is absolutely guaranteed. It is hard to imagine a reality where time is no longer an element.
Best regards,
m
