To be blunt unless you are god you can't even identify that the ball didn't just go past t2 and keep sailing on and you started observing it go backward ... in a nutshell you have no way to know your observation is "absolute" or "real".


While this is all, undoubtedly, true; games of snooker are played, and they are subject to the laws of physics. If you apply your reasoning to the events of the macro-world, how would a player know what any ball was going to do?

There never was nothing.
