The danger is in balancing these 2 opposing actions. You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to fast forward or slow down time. Fast forwards are treacherous; It's used when trying to travel quicker, but you don't want to sacrifice matter. This is because other balls of matter can grow very rapidly by chain reactions of growing from collision with smaller balls.
