Even Scott Bakula got older. Despite his little theory of quantum time.
Have you ever thought about what you would really do if you had a time machine? Because if a time machine is ever to exist in our life times and we're able to use it, then that wish would instantly come true when you make it. But what if we can only communicate with our former selves indirectly Heaven as we know it is a place our soul goes when we die. Well if there is an afterlife then it would have no time or space, everything would happen at any given point in the anti-time. You would get answers before you knew questions. An itch would go away before you realized you had it because you already scratched it before it happened and before you scratched it. Any thought you have would have already formed so you effectively stop thinking or reasoning and still gain experience and insight without the conscious knowledge of how you aqcuired it! Imagine this scenario; You're about to walk outside on a hot day to get the mail and you think about looking in the mirror to make sure your hair looks good. You would already have a mental image in your head of what your hair looks like right now and you would be holding the mail. Because it was hot outside you would be sweating but you would have thought to drink something cold and turn the air conditioner on, so now you are holding the mail and an empty drink with the memory of what it tasted like. Then of course you would have opened the mail to see what it was let's say 47 seconds in the future but the mail is still in your hand with the memory of what you read inside it and the mail would also exist simultaneously in the mail box since you haven't gone outside in the present as would the glass you used for your drink which would still be full though you remember drinking it. You know the air conditioner is on but it's off, and you're getting cold but you haven't touched the air conditioner yet so you're essentially waiting to feel something in the present because your memories would be contradicting eachother. Now you're standing in the living room holding your hands out believing that you're holding the mail that you already read and a drink that you already drank and confident that your hair looks good even though you haven't seen it yet, neither of those things have happened yet. You would feel the cold refreshing air on your skin but the air conditioner is off and you're debating in your mind on whether or not you're too cold or too hot. You look on the table and you see stamps, paper and a pen. You have a memory of writing a letter back to reply to the mail you just got which in reality is the reply to a letter you sent out that hasn't happened yet but you remember doing just recently because in reality, in your mind, it never happened and you're not holding anything but you have the memory of it all happening in a logical order but it really all happened at once and now only exists in your mind in that logical order. Weird.
