Menachst 29b:3 MOSHE RABEINU WENT TO THE FUTURE!!!
Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: When Moshe ascended on High, he found the Holy One, Blessed be He, sitting and tying crowns on the letters of the Torah. Moshe said before Hashem: Master of the Universe, who is preventing You from giving the Torah without these additions? Hashem said to him: There is a man who is destined to be born after several generations, and Akiva ben Yosef is his name; he is destined to derive from each and every thorn of these crowns mounds upon mounds of halacha. It is for his sake that the crowns must be added to the letters of the Torah.Moshe said before Hashem: Master of the Universe, show him to me. Hashem said to him: Return behind you. Moshe went and sat at the end of the eighth row in Rabbi Akiva’s study hall and did not understand what they were saying. Moshes strength waned, as he thought his Torah knowledge was deficient. When Rabbi Akiva arrived at the discussion of one matter, his students said to him: My teacher, from where do you derive this? Rabbi Akiva said to them: It is a halacha transmitted to Moshe from Sinai. When Moshe heard this, his mind was put at ease, as this too was part of the Torah that he was to receive. THIS IS TIME TRAVEL!!!!!!!!
