   Is there a way to go back into the space-time continuum to reverse a past   
   event or loss of an item? Have cases been reported where someone has   
   awakened from a dream taking place in the past, only to find that the past   
   has been reversed in some form?   
      
   I have heard of quite a few Near-Death Experiences whereby the experiencer   
   was shown a possible future and allowed to either avoid it or let it   
   occur. I also know of a few examples from the precognitive realm where the   
   experiencer saw a future before it happened -- and yet some futures happened   
   inspite of efforts by the experiencer to change it.   
      
   I am reasoning that if the state of time can be advanced to show a future   
   moment in the present one, it might be possible for the state of time to   
   be reversed to change a past moment in the present one.   
      
   Stretching things even further, has anyone heard of angelic encounters   
   whereby lost items were miraculously found, either by the divine   
   intervention of the celestial being or by information granted from the   
   celestial being to the experiencer?   
      
   Is it also possible to reverse the loss of data from the changing of the   
   magnetic field within a disk or harddrive? An example I would consider   
   scientifically feasible would be to reverse the magnetic field   
   fluctuations of a present magnetic field state to previous magnetic field   
   state conditions.   
      
   If, by examination, data is held in place by that of magnetic recording   
   and/or magnetism, can "peeling back" the magnetic field of the disk to   
   previous states uncover previously lost, damaged or erased data? In the   
   cases of accidental or unintended erasure, it would be truly important to   
   recover the data (if possible) by peeling back the magnetic field to   
   previous magnetic states.   
      
   Is any of this (technologically) feasible or plausible?   
      
   Sincerely,   
      
   Paul
