time travel is a basic concept when you understand the holographic universe/quantum physic "theory" on "reality" and life.
hmmm.......I've never heard of a "quantum physics theory on reality and life"............that doesn't seem to make much sense given the actual research and purpose of research in the area of quantum physics.

Do a search on "holographic Universe"..and related topics....It ties in quite nice with quantum physics...also discusses non-locality and unexplainable phenomenon with quantum physics.

One I found real quick.
Interesting... I´ve heard about the concept of holographic universe in physics, but I didn´t understand why it relates to time travel.
Thats difficult to define without the use of mathematical language, but there is the holographic principle that tells that all the information contained in a n-dimensional space can be stored a space with dimension (n-1). Like holography that is 3D, and is stored in a 2D surface. So some physicists say that we could be living in the surface of something like a 5D or cylinder, their surface will be 4D, like our universe is, if you count time as a dimension.
That resembles flat-land. We being 4D creatures living in a 5D universe...
Well it's almost impossible for us being human to picture a hypersphere (a sphere of more than three dimensions) or a polyhedron...because our minds function in three dimensional. Our ability to visualize seems limited....But it would be like cramming a bunch of bubbles into a box...more and more...sphere packing, until they are flattened and it would turn into a three dimensional lattice..The number of dimensions would increase and so does the "kissing number,' the number of spheres that sides touch another sphere...the number of sphere contiguous to a given spere...By the time one reaches just 24 dimensions, the number of spheres contiguous to a given sphere is 196,560 to the 12th power..
It's interesting how dimensional things can possibly exist...if you assume that every possible arrangement of matter and energy consists with the laws of quantum physics...You can say that right now somewhere that differs from own own by that one electron somewhere else in a less excited energy state...Another photon, lets say a glass being held positioned exactly on an Angstrom unit to the left would change that universe of the glass completely...so interesting. And that's just one change....One different universe different.
It is only the functioning of our nervous system that gives us the illusion that time is passing.... it isn't.... every particle we are composed of is simply an expression of probability... nothing "exists" in the way we think it does.... what we did yesterday still "exists" now, as does everything we and everyone else "will do" in the future.... existence is like one of those photos of the brooklyn bridge at night, taken over eight hours, with the headlight trails blurring and interconnecting.... each "particle," be it proton, muon or tachyon or whatevereon, is like those headlamp beams..... only infinitely more complex....

So, the past, future and present are all contained in the now. I believe; the now is a projection of the nothingness. A particle in space, we can only detect a small portion of this particle and can not understand it's true nature. Imagine a pool of water, but instead of looking down at the waters surface, look up from under the water. Someone takes a broom handle and sticks the round end into the water just enough to submerge the end. What we see is a small round object, if we can not see beyond the surface of the water, we would not understand that this round thing is truly long and like a pole. All things in this universe extend into the nothingness like broom handles sticking out of the water.
