so if the NHI are interdimensional beings does that automatically make them time travelers? kinda like that Matthew McConaughey character in that sci-fi movie Dazed and Confused

If it's time travelers the grandfather paradox is clearly bunk and they need to give us their technology

Hmm... you couldn't time travel into your "own" past cause there's no such thing. That's the "resolution" - otherwise, it would hold. But "timelines" don't really exist. We imagine the past as fixed and crystallized, contra the in-flux and indetermined future, but neither are fixed/concretized. You could travel to a past that is remarkably similar to the ideas you have about "your past." Imperceptibly, it would be different, it would not be the reality you had occupied previously. It could NOT be because, as the philosophers say, you can't step in the same river twice. Ergo, you can go hog wild. You can even meet whatever version of yourself exists in that reality- presuming you didn't just click your consciousness over into that reality to exist as that version of yourself. It wouldn't make a difference cause you're not in your past; you're in a reality that remarkably resembles your past.

You know, there may be some remnants of UFO sightings in world religions, but it's really not necessary for every supernatural belief to turn out to be true.

We imagine the past as fixed and crystallized, contra the in-flux and indetermined future, but neither are fixed/concretized. that's right. feel free to travel back in time all you want, but be aware it's a one-way ticket and you will never be seen again in this reality. the changes you're making are to a totally distinct branch that was created at the moment you re-entered time. you can go back further to try and "return" to the "correct" timeline, but you'll already have created another additional branch with infinitely many differences from both the realities which you had already occupied simply due to you traveling there, which spread out from that point in space at the speed of light. "you can't step in the same river twice" is a very good adage for this concept, actually i really hate basically every fictional portrayal of time travel. except maybe primer, but it's been like 15 years since i watched that
