so if you were referring to me and trying to judge what i would say, i don't appreciate it.
To a two-dimensional world, a third dimension would appear to them as only having two-dimensions as well.
Time is the same for us....its hard to perceive time as being something that goes backward, forward, up, down...but I believe in another place it does.

Our perception of time is not only ours, it's also the perception of everything else travelling at the same speed on the same location.

If speed slows down time for the object(s) at high speed(travelling into the future), even more speed will not somehow magicly reverse this proces. (travelling to the past)
It just has a lot of assumptions in it that don't make sense in my opinion.
We know that matter can bend space-time and according to Einstein's theory, matter and light are both forms of energy. So why can't light bend space-time?
We know that a horse can hold the weight of someone, and according to biologists, horses and rabbits are both animals, so why can't a rabbit hold someone?

I totally agree. Using the cliche time machines of movies where they enter the date they are at and then the date they want to go to, the Universe does not know BC or BCE. It does not know seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years. Time is infinite. Time did not begin when the Universe was created - Space, yes, Time, no. Becasue Time is infinite, you can't go to specific points - in order for points in time to exist, there has to be a zero to compare them to. Why is it assumed Time began at the Big Bang? The Big Bang was just an event in Time! The Calendar year 0 is just an event in Time also - maybe its (using Earth years) the 5 trillionth year in Time, or maybe its the 4 quadrillinth year in Time, we wont ever know. Basically, all events are points in Time. The events cant have numbers attached to them either, becasue that implies there would be a zero to count up to them from.
