Paul, all this time-traveling stuff is crap. There are indeed four
dimensions but not one of them is temporal. A temporal dimension makes
motion/change impossible: Nothing can move in spacetime. By
definition!

Truth is though, you're right. The entire history of every particle in
the universe is being recorded in the 4-D lattice of photons in which
we move. Why? Because we are moving at c in the fourth dimension and
we leave a trace in the lattice. God is in the picture somewhere.
That's all I can say for now. Have fun.
