This is a normal post now is a bit variable
but it's under 300 milliseconds unless you arrange some quite specific situations, like Bose-Einstein condensates. Basically, you can stretch out now for as long as you can stop a superposition from collapsing, and even then only in the local area of the particle in a superposition.

Also, the set of all sets does contain itself, but does the set of all sets which do *not* contain themselves contain itself?

This is a normal post It's very fucking variable.
If you could instantly snapshot all the nows across the observable universe (accounting for every kind of time lag/latency) they would not all describe the same moment in terms of causality and the next tick of their quantum woo clocks would all diverge from each other according to local gravity, velocity and distance from each other. So there is no absolute now, only a fuzzy relative now, human perception of time is probably total bullshit, there are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.

This is a normal post i tend to think that "now" is another concept, like "purpose", that humans think is very important because that's the way our monkey brains have evolved
but that's because life itself is essentially a complicated form of causality, so we are incapable of experiencing reality as a continuum with past present and future all existing together where "now" has no intrinsic meaning beyond the ordinal position of that form in that continuum. That Einsteins relativism is the only way that we can accurately describe that reality, by its relation to other forms. There is no "hour" or "now", just an ordinal relationship of causality depending on the closeness of events and the observer. Therefore, I should not have to pay this parking ticket.

given that negative mass is a plausible thing, and given that negative mass objects in motion behave as if they're time reversed, and given that observers moving at (or above) relativistic speeds would witness some causality-breaking effects when observing each other...

If time is an emergent quality of space, and space can be manipulated, I think it's plausible that we could arrange energy and mass in ways that allow for meaningful/useful time reversal.
