I don't necessarily wanna time travel as much as I wanna rewind time and space. Is there a way and how because you'd think there'd have to be an easier way for those who are practically perfect.

time is constant with space

space is a physical thing

physical things are stationary in time, this means the apple on your kitchen table isn't the same apple it was 5 seconds ago, or 20 hours ago(it has aged, creating a completely new thing)

which means time is stationary in time

kind of confusing, but basically this means that time isnt really a long continuous thing as you may picture it, but rather an infinite number of moments that play out in a certain order

so there is no possiblity of rewinding time, but there is a possibility of traveling through time, which would be to consciously be in one of these past times, the same thing as rewinding time

since time and space are constant, and space is curved, you could travel outside the domain of space(not space as in outerspace, but space as in our physical dimension, the space between you and your tv etc)

now you just have to figure out how to travel outside space



its like if you were a virus on a petri dish you would never know there is a whole other world outside, you have to climb out of the petri dish and climb into the one next to it to travel back to a previous moment in time



the only way to rewind time would be to travel back in time

Once, time goes by it can never be rewinded. Every second you live is bacially lost in the universe, in a sense. If someone created a time machine, you could only go back to the time where it was created. Not before that. The time travel machine's mass was created at the time you created it.

I don't exactly get the "practically perfect" part, but there is no technology available that can take you back as much as one second in time or alter events that have already occured.

I cannot imagine what you mean by "rewind space".

There is no way to do that unless you can try to invent that to happen but right now that is not possible
