I agree that it’s not all-out impossible under the laws of thermodynamics, but I personally consider it rather unlikely to work on the scales we’re talking about. This all seems somewhat tangential though; what effect would it have on the point of the post if “rewinding events” in a macroscopic volume of space was theoretically possible, and easily within the reach of a good recursively self-improving AGI?
