Don't worry, it's normal not to understand it... it is a difficult concept, as it is a warping of space-time, turning these into something beyond our intuitive understanding of both time and space.
I can only tell you that what you wrote makes no sense. It's sort of like saying "if the square has round sides,".
This after countless "first cause" arguments where AM claimed the exact opposite.

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.
"We don't know, anything is possible" is not an appeal to a supernatural explanation.
