"It shows how little we know about time and how the past, present, and future could exist simultaneously."

I certainly don't know even what such an idea COULD mean. Time is a noun, which causes people to treat it as a 'thing', whereas it does not 'exist' except AS a reference to our subjective experience.
"Is there a particle that creates time? We have people who are looking for it." That will keep them busy!! I'm curious as to where they search. The large Hadron Collider doesn't seem to be any help.

"In the grip of super gravity, we are flung into the future compared to those who are not."
   If you are referring to the speed of light again, "the future" merely means whatever anyone going that fast will experience.
There is a sci-fi novel called "Tau Zero" which tries to speculate what might happen.
Tau Zero

If I remember correctly, it ends with the phrase "Time began".
