That's why we wrote it as an 'open curve' time travel experience. 'Closed curve' time travel, where there's only a single timeline, generates paradoxes when you mess with causality. 'Open curve' time travel just generates a new branch in the time-flow when something is changed, at the cost of potentially endless inflation of diverging alternate realities. http://www.mapfiend.net/eq/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif
