The problem with temperal mechanics is that its all theoretical...theres no way to know how exactly time travel works until we actually acomplish it. It isn't anything I'd like to mess with though!
Quantum and theoretical physics are strange indeed! Although, very interesting! It kind of goes with metaphysics a bit. We've already got the math for what time *is* mathematically (no! really?! ). We need to figure out a way to go through it or around it or whatnot. People just can't figure out what direction time goes, how one experiences it, etc.

That's where it gets into metaphysics. "As the boundaries for experiencing time are removed, so is its relevancy" is a quote that I've read recently and find intriguing. Also, suppose you are traveling at the speed of light. (Remember, this is *supposed*) Since it seems to be agreed that time slows as you approach the speed of light and stops AT the speed of light it has been brought up that maybe time ceases to exist all together. Interesting! On to read more Parmenides, Xeno, Plato, Augustine, and such..
