...Distorting time? Impossible.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time

...in a relativistic universe, time cannot be separated from the three dimensions of space. This is because the observed rate at which time passes depends on an object’s velocity relative to the observer. Also, the strength of any gravitational field slows the passage of time for an object as seen by an observer outside the field.

Regardless of where you are in the universe, the time is always now.

Again, another theory that doesn't hold up well.

First off, for it to be accurate the observer would have to be located in a NON MOVING SPOT. There is no such place in the Universe. Or perhaps, to be more clear, one cannot find such a spot as there is no 'reference' point to determine whether one is moving or not.

Second, the theory depends on there only being one observer. Two different observers would obtain two different timelines. Which one would then be correct ?
