Summary

This quote reflects the idea that time travel is impossible due to the inability to recreate identical experiences. It implies that even if one were to go back in time, the circumstances and surroundings would inevitably be different, making it impossible to fully relive a particular moment. Each experience is unique and unrepeatable, suggesting that the past is best left in memories rather than attempting to recreate it.
