[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Hypothetically, of course, the main characters should see someone go back in time, and, to them, that person simply ceases to exist. Any changed that person makes will create an alternate timeline, but the main characters won't be [i]in[/i] that timeline, so they won't see the changes. The altered timeline will have [i]different[/i] versions of the main characters (maybe), who have no idea anything was ever deliberately changed. However, most of the time in Trek, when we see someone go back in time, the main characters somehow get pulled into the new timeline and can see the changes while still remembering their old timeline. This is why they always go back and try to "fix" things. It's not that there is a single timeline, and they have to put it back the way it was. They may [i]see[/i] it that way, but what they are really doing is trying to get [i]themselves[/i] back into their original timeline, or one which is close enough that they won't know the difference. Strictly speaking, trying to stop the bad guy won't fix anything, anyway. As soon as they try, the universe will branch off into atimeline where they stop him, and one where they don't. The audience just ends up getting to follow the timeline where things go the way the main characters think they've restored their own. [/QB][/QUOTE]
