You make a good point. What if a civilization figured out how to do this on a local level? To finely manipulate particles within a small area? It would be like version control for reality.

This idea is referenced quite a bit in an Asimov novel, but I can't remember the name. Something about earth in the far future, and called Eternity Circuits. Computers enforce physical arrangement at an atomic level, and redundancy circuits enforce the computer and each other, basically creating systems that last forever.

Each particle has is own time. Each particle can go forward on time, independently.

That's why satellites clocks must be adjusted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
