That makes a bit more sense. The second it happens though time becomes totally different. At the moment time is an absolute. It is so solid. If that becomes changeable then all sort of wacky fun-filled mis-adventures could take place.
It means any time can be accessed up to the end of the world, also all tech will be the same across the time zones (tech from the future brought back). Same with everything else. Time will simply become an extension of area instead of a measurement of movement. People could move back and forth at will, you could get a job in 2967 and come back home to 2309. No difference. History (or the future) will become absolute as it will already be known about. People born in 3000 could marry someone from 2045. And they would have lived the same amount of years.
You wouldnt have a birthday as you could happy work before the date of you birth and after the date of your death. So time as a measurement will become useless. The only thing it would be used for is a extension of area and to measure the age of someone. So the fabric of time as a forward moving object would be over, and millions of years will act as one single moment. Not actually possible as the end of the world will have to happen (time will still work in the fact that the sun will age) so the secound you make time that single moment the world ends.
Invent time travel = instant death
