Hi Bob

from your post...
"But movement backwards; arriving at a point in space prior to the point when you left?"

What if a wormhole was not a bridge in one universe, but a bridge from one universe to the another? Then could you leave a certain time in our universe and arrive at an earlier time in another...

I liked this story... "Imagine you fall into a black hole. Hoping to survive as long as possible, you steer for a closed timelike loop. there you see, let's say eleven images of yourself. The first one says to you 'i've been around once.' The second says, 'I've been around twice,' and so forth. You whirl through the first loop and see yourself in the past, falling in from the black hole horizon. Wanting to be helpful to yourself you call out, 'I've been around once.' Another loop and you're second in line. 'I've been around twice,' you shout."
from Alan Guth 1992

I think I have heard the butterfly story in one form or another. Perhaps as an old black and white Twilight Zone episode I watched as a kid. That show freaked me out, but I loved it!

Regards
