Some ideas are:

  • You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
  • You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
  • Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
  • Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
  • something else entirely

    I think you meant this comment for a different thread.

        Okay. What did I say about gravity wells?

          You implied that life would be more terrifying the faster you traveled through time, like what would happen at the bottom of a gravity well.

              In your original comment I replied to.

                Well, that was not the intended message to convey.

                Can you quote the part that gives you that impression? I’d like the chance to fix or clarify it.

                    Basically, time is your body’s sensation of the inevitable terror that is the heatdeath of the universe.

                    This doesn’t appear to pertain to gravity wells.
