I suppose you're right - but you still can't travel back/forwards in time. That one will still continue to bother me.

That's right... travel = fail

But, if you know the position and velocity of every molecule within the universe then you can predict the future (because you would be able to predict every collision & interaction)... but due to the observer effect, the act of viewing the future would alter the outcome.
