Time flows like a river out of the infinite energy at the beginning of the universe, into the infinite reservoir at the end of space and time. Human beings can't stop it any more than monkeys could dam the Nile by throwing sticks at the river. But they can use and shape its flow. Physics is mostly right about time. It usually moves from past to future at one second per second, speeding up and slowing down as local spacetime conditions change, just as the equations predict. It can do more, though. It can run faster or slower than usual, or drift sideways into improbable outcomes and away from predictable conditions, and it can even turn back on itself to make events happen again, or change its flow so some things never really happen(ed) at all. Furthermore, in addition to following its own, sometimes surprising, internal dynamics, time can and does change when conscious minds manipulate it with the right combinations of logic, tools, and sheer force of will.
