Time is NOT a direction, NOT back and forth, it's a "state."
That would be like saying, "I would really like to go back in past milk," a completely nonsensical statement. There is milk now that is fresh. Milk now that is cold, and milk now that is lukewarm. These are all states of milk but traveling between fresh and cold to lukewarm milk is just as ridiculous. Because the universe is constantly in one state or other, flux, expansion reduction, hot cold bright dark. But the universe is never 12:20 am Central standard time in Waco Texas. And it's never 1971 AD.
All states of now can be guessed at on a universal level. In human history states of time can be relayed by text and even the words of those now gone.
But it will never be "then" or "in the past," "then" is gone, "then" no longer exists. It will never be a forward "then" in the future. The future doesn't and never will "exist."
Now is now is now and to imagine, discuss, write, or make a film about otherwise, is now's "proposed" past, or now's "proposed" future. We can only really know now, and now, and now. But there is no other "now" to travel to.
There is only constantly immediately changing states of matter and energy. And nothing ever "was," and nothing ever "will be."
