Come, open the window of time
Who dares to learn the fate of man
Step forward--five billion years.
The rock is barren, dark, and cold.
The sky is dim and red and cold.
The sun is huge and red and cold.
Save only a few lichens and moss,
The world is become barren.
The gentle whisper of the wind,
The crash of wave on distant shore--
Beyond these sounds the world is silent.

time is like a river..
it flows,and whatever time
that has passed,
will never return

I dont't feel that time is ,like a river, but rather motion.
matter exist in space. Matter forms objects, and , objects stand
in a certain relation to one another.Those relations change , and, we
experience this as what has been called time. Thus no matter what speed you
travel you will always be travelling in space, however it stands to reason
, that, providing that space is infinite , if one were to travel at a
sufficient speed ,it is plausable that they would encounter an identical
configuration of matter as the one which they had left. (thus they would
encounter themselves) This however would still be space travel not , as some
would say, time travel. ? yes/no I need some air.

So, you are suggesting that time is the illusion that things change, but in
reality, time doesn't pass. That way it could be said that there is one time,
and that it remains static.
