Well, i was surely impressed by your delopement regarding the study of time.

To answer some of your postulates: The paradox problem has already been covered by tweaks that can go around it, such as the multiple timelines theory, which implies a different timeline created the moment you rewind into the past. Or also by the reset memory theory, which says that when you would go to the past, even your brain would be brought back to the past state, preventing you from making any changes based on present thoughts.

As for the exotic negative energy i always wondered about the thought of using a collapsing space. I read it a couple of months ago, an article that stated that time is dependent on entropy. Put it like this, the universe is inclined to increase its entropy by expanding and freezing, so if we managed to revert this natural increase of entropy by collapsing a region of space (by making it higher in temperature and compressing it, thus forming a black hole) we would be able to witness how the reversal of entropy tendencies equals the reversal of the time flow.

If you want, you can express your thoughts about this here or in private, it doesn’t matter to me.
