ok here is the loop and i was wondering if it worked Eternal Witness and some form of instant (like Displace, Ghostly Flicker, or Illusionist's Stratagem) to bounce it would i be able to put the instant back to my hand and be able to do it over again if i have the mana
After Eternal Witness resolves, it ETB ability triggers and is put on the stack, when this happens you need to have a choose a legal target that is already in your graveyard. So by the time you would get priority to cast when of your other spells, the ability is already on the stack.
Your loop does work. Whilst the ability from Eternal witness would fire during the resolution of the spells it is not put onto the stack and targets declared until the spells have completely resolved, by which time the cards are in the graveyard so a valid target for the Witnesses ability.

Hope that helps.
This is incorrect.
The ETB is only put on the stack once the spell or ability that exiled it has completely resolved so the spell that caused it to leave the battlefield is in the graveyard long before the ability on Eternal witness hits the stack and needs it target declared.
This interaction has not changed since momentary blink wsa first released.

No this doesn't work.
