EDIT: he also had bruises all over his face when he walked in. If he traveled in time then those bruises either a) never healed and he hid them when he went to see Widmore or b) he had to knock himself around some more to show those bruises again when he got back
im not saying he was time travelng the WHOLE episode,all im saying is that right when alex is shot,ben says "he changed the rules" goes into his secret chamber and then pops back out. How do you know that the convo in the last scene wth widmore even took place during the same flashforward??? plus the whole scene consisted of ben talking about killing widmore's daughter(penny) much like widmore did to him,Ben seemed like he had just watched her die,and he also told widmore "you changed the rules"
Even if it wasn't the whole episode, how would they explain the bruises disappearing in the Widmore scene and then reappearing on his face when he getsback? Its possible that he time traveled, but again the way it was presented doesn't add up at all, it'd be a stretch for us to pick and chooseparticular scenes and say they went together since they never presented any hints or anything to prove it like they usually do.
(For the record, I actually thought he traveled into the future too, but then the more I thought about it the more it didn't add up to me.)
