Reality does what it does. If we think something is impossible but then find out that reality is doing exactly that thing, that is our problem not reality's.
Sure, an infinite regress does pose certain 'logical' problems, and is hard to figure out. But if we find there is an infinite regress, guess what? That's our problem to figure out. Reality isn't going to go "Oh I'm sorry, this doesn't make sense to you? Here, let me change that..."
It's "illogical" to some people still that time doesn't not travel at a consistent speed. The fact that they find it "illogical" has zero bearing on the fact that it happens.
