The problem that I’ve always had with time travel on a scientific level, is that time is not a physical force that can be manipulated. Time is simply the measurement of moment moment using some sort of conventional scale.
For example. The idea of a second didn’t exist 200 years ago simply because we did not have the tools to create a second. If you asked me if we could manipulate gravity one day, I would say yes because it is a physical force. What time isn’t.
And then of course there is a theological problem of being able to manipulate past events that God already decreed.
