Also, multidimensional time may exist out of the known universe, which can bring about some weird stuff. I can't think about it, I cannot wrap my head around 2-D time, but, at this stage, it can't be dismissed. This sort of thing is what I mean by "the rules we know of" breaking down.
Virtually anything is possible.
As those go beyond (or outside or whatever) the laws of nature, they're appeals to supernatural explanations.
