Time, Creation?

 I have been recently engaged in watching the German-language series "Dark" of which probes into branching ideas of string theory and hypotheses of how time effects things.

  So this has lead me thinking, would it be so outlandish of a thought that perhaps mankind's destiny is just to create some kind of travel through time, via some apparatus that  bends light or space/time. Just to create themselves in the first place, an infinite loop.

  Another thing that put me on track to thinking about this was a quote from the fourth book of Hermes called "the key":

"4. For his Operation or Act, is his Will, and his Essence, to Will all Things to be.

5. For what is God, and the Father, and the Good, but the Being of all things that yet are not, and the existence itself, of those things that are!"

What if we are just slivers of some kind of creator or just the creator ourselves by some kind of time travel.
