Yes, but that would mean their understanding of time and space is WIDER than ours. While in the movie the point was made that aliens need a human being to do the job because there are some areas in our understanding of time/space that they do not have.
I'm OK with aliens lacking some understanding that we, humans, have (while at the same time knowing a lot that we don't). I'm OK with future humans being so advanced that they can do all kinds of magic, including time travel. But I'm not OK with future humans LOSING some of the understanding in the process of advancing. It just doesn't happen.
