Well way back when in GR (somewhere) there was a
lamentation/observation that it was impossible to reverse time, play
the film of life backwards.  I think I remember the imagery of a
Mayflower ship sailing backwards, back to the Old World.  I think a
part of this thought also relates to TRP's thoughts on taking a
different fork in the road way back then, also in GR I think.
