[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zipacna: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Krenim: [qb] I have only one problem with this "many worlds" explanation. If the post-[i]Nemesis[/i] universe continues to exist after Nero makes his jump through time, why does Spock even bother going after him? After all, from Spock's point of view, Nero simply ceases to exist. [/qb][/QUOTE]Exactly. If when you "change history" your own timeline continues to exist and a new universe is created, then it makes no sense to go back and try to change things...you might as well just carry on regardless in a universe where the only difference is that there's one less loony walking about. Indeed, in the past Trek has shown that indeed changing the past does destroy your own timeline (it's been a plot point on so many occassions where the correct flow of history must be restored). Now I don't deny that alternate timelines exist along side of the "main" timeline, but suggesting that changing the past means your future is still there anyway seems to contradict the vast majority of time-travel episodes over the past four decades. One thing is certain, Janeway was right...temporal mechanics are a major cause of headaches! [/QB][/QUOTE]
