Well, think about it guys. Rewinding isn't like time travel. Say when rewind the scene in the mines of Moria on the Bridge of Khazad-Dum. Gandalf felt into the abyss, and if he rewinded it, then the time between where he fell off the bridge and the point where he decided to rewind never existed, thus he would have no knowledge he was going to fall, and so the same events would just occur over and over again.

For a different example, Gollum bites Frodo's finger off, and two seconds later, Gollum falls off the edge. Frodo decides to rewind.

Frodo rewinds, but, since the point where he started to rewind and the point where he rewound to never existed, he didn't know Gollum was to bite off his finger, and so he couldn't protect against anything. So, basically, a man travels from point A to point B, the time that elapsed while passing from point to point was exactly two seconds. If you rewound the events that went to point A, the events had not occurred yet, and so the person who was travelling from point to point could not have any knowledge that it would take exactly two seconds to pass from point to point, and so there would be no way for him to know to speed up or slow down in order to alter the two second time elapsation. ---(is that even a word)


I have done many studies on time travel and things of the sort, parallel universes, physics, quantum physics.
