Give it up.  Gödel has proven that we can never understand the world as 
long as we are part of it.  We can never understand ourselves either.

According to Stephen Hawking time is just the direction of increasing
entropy.  That´s why any attempt to tidy up is hopeless, it only
increases the entropy even more some other place....

In fact we do it all the time. There is a considerable lag between 
the
registering of information on the retina and the final production of
information in the brain. What we see (always) has already happened
and is
in the past - there is no present. Another matter while I'm going so
far off
topic. There is no such thing as 'time'. Time is man-made -- just 
like
Mathematics, and all the wonderfully complex mathematical 'Laws' of
Physics.
Quarks and many other wonders exist, indeed they do, but not as we
explain
or imagine them. No one knows this better than the Cosmologists and
Particle
Physicists who investigate the nature of such 'things'.

Now I'll duck.

How cool would that be :-)
it's what we already do.
Well yes we do when viewing distant space objects but we don't have 
to
focus
past infinity to do that :-)
