Actually, I was trying to give everyone a chance to follow. It does seem like you understand very well.

I completely agree that time is an illusion and there is only change. Yet, we are living in a matrix on which the whole DVD is playing at the same time, therefore past and future exist simultaneously. You seems to completely disregard how well the theory of time travel and parallel universes is accepted in quantum mechanics and superstring theory. There are many more dimensions than we can account for.

Also, the whole universe is a hologram existing only in the mind of the source, so I don't see how anything could be impossible.[/quote]

I don't disregard the theories in quantum mechanics and regarding superstrings. These theories are only solutions to mathematical equations that suggest such things are possible. They are not proof that these things exist. Nor do they prove that parallel dimensions exist. Parallel dimensions exist as potential realities in our "future," and our choices manifest our one objective reality.

As for the universe being a hologram - I disagree to a point. It's sentient beings who are the hologram, but we exist inside a defined space with specific physical laws. Those laws determine what is possible - which is almost anything we can imagine. One exception is time travel to the past since the only remnant of that "time" is our memories.

On another hand, consciousness is entirely able to "travel" to the past since that only involves accessing existing memories. It's physical travel to the past that can't be done in this universe. However, and not to be purposefully cryptic, universes do exist in which time travel is possible. They're separate from this universe, and not a dimension of it. Their physics are different, and that's why time travel to the past is possible there but not here.

Well, we definitely see some key points differently and none of those have been proven nor disproved by modern day physics.

If the question is, " is time travel possible? ", the answer could be " yes" . We may have no physical proof of it, but, then, what do you need for proof?
Let's use the subject of UFO's to compare. Logic would tell us they do not exist, nor can they. It's just not physically possible for a craft and those on board to physically travel from light years away, to our planet. That is, how we as humans perceive it, from our logic.
Yet, there are countless of UFO sightings around the world. Not just from those that want to believe, but, from airline pilots, air traffic controllers, law enforcement, etc. People have gotten strange radiation burns on their skin from encounters. Polls in the USA show that over half of the population believe UFO's exist. What constitutes evidence of their existence? This is subjective. Eye witnesses, videos, pictures, can be discounted, not really " proof ". For those who have experienced a UFO encounter, you don't need to convince them. In their reality, these UFO's do exist.

In reference to quantum physics, there are experiments being done to prove or disprove theories and mathematical equations.

We all are familiar with the " double slit experiment ", collapse of the wave function.

In this experiment, when observed, a wave becomes a particle. Now, why is that? No logic to it, yet, it happens, over and over, in the experiment.

The laws of the world of large ( theory of relativity ), and, the world of small ( quantum mechanics ) act so different from each other, yet must work together, shouldn't they?
