I don't exist in the future, yet, here I am, in the future, with all my clothes in tact.

There is nothing in physics that actually says it's impossible.

Maybe your current understanding of physics says it's impossible.

Nothing about it is about me.

IT'S ABOUT FRAMES OF FUCKING REFERENCE. Inertial frames of reference, relativistic frames of reference, etc.

(This is relativity, if you think it's about me, you obviously need to learn little more.)
