[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb] Here's a thought: So let's say ST IX does erase the primeline. Would that mean that Nero and Old Spock would have to now come from the new universe and do everything their primeline counterparts did in order for this universe to persist? If this were the case, the new timeline could essentially erase itself by having its Hobus Star destroyed before it can destroy Romulus. Events would play out differently since Nero would not have an incentive to go all evil, pimp out his mining freighter, then lead said pimped out freighter through a serious of events that would lead him to be sent back in time. So then I guess time would correct itself, and we would have the Primeline minus the whole Romulus being destroyed event. Or maybe not? [/qb][/QUOTE]Thgis bit of paradox is nicely explained in the most recent film version of the Time Machine- even if events dont coorespond exactly to the original timeline, the cause for the traveler going back in time will remain valid- The Time Traveler's girlfriend kept getting killed in diffrent ways but, as she was the reason he invented the machine in the first place, he could not save her. In Trek, we have both causeality and alternate timelines (usually represented as alternate universes, but still another timeline). It sure would be funny if this new timeline uses Spock Prime's knowldege to prevent every calamity the Federaion will face (Tomed Incident, Borg, etc.) and as result, becomes a Terran Empire equilivent.
