I'd call that an overdramatic experiment. tongue emoticon I believe time exists, certainly. But I think that time is far more complicated than Einstein's "Time Slice" / "Cake Slice" / stills from a movie reel view. It's a useful analogy; Einstein revolutionized things for the early film era using the best analogy available at the time. But.. it's 2015. We are ready for more complicated views of time that can connect cause and effect reetroactively and such. We do it in fiction all of the time. I see no reason why we can't extend that to our model of the Universe. I mean multiverse is fun and all but... it's math tricks and shoving the problem into invisible zones.
