I am travelling to the future as we speak, and most certainly fucking it up.
Yes, I think I see what you mean by "re-play". You can replay the events that did happen in the past; the catch is, you just can't play the ones that didn't happen, eh? I enjoy the metaphor.I think of time like a video game, where you have different 'save files', and these files can be always 're-played' (if you don't delete them [forget what happened]; there will be bits of corrupted data here and there, which will further decay with time).
The mind is the projector that can play these events out in our imaginations. We can't necessarily 'change' what's happened (yet), but we can reintegrate the experiences, 'level up' differently.
Maybe in the future, we will be able to 'jump out' of this existential plane, and realign ourselves back into some past position of this world, and then literally change the past reality.

Assuming time travel to the past is possible, would it be possible to do so without affecting the timeline by virtue of your very presence?
We can travel into the future by increasing our relative speed.
And at the quantum level things can travel back into the past, but for reasons of entropy, quantum time travel doesn't translate into macro time travel. And we live at the macro level.
Thats just some stupid hypothesis that is believed because it works on paper..
Actually Relativity works in reality. For we have measured the different speed of time on satellites moving fast around the Earth.
And we know that as we approach the speed of light, distance is foreshortened and time in dilated. So it is theoretically possible to travel from one side of the universe to the other in a lifetime, knowing that we leave our home millions or billions of years in the past, forever out of reach.
You see if you are moving at the speed of light.
Assuming time travel to the past is possible, would it be possible to do so without affecting the timeline by virtue of your very presence?
Yes, because magic.
But... but... temporal causality loops!
Oh dear, do i need to draw you a super diagram picture of magic?
We can't move at the speed of light because mass reaches infinity which is impossible. However theoretically we can approach to near the speed of light where relativity effects are real and not just an illusion seen by an observer.
And although it is theoretically possible to approach the speed of light, it is not technologically possible now or even in the medium future.
