[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] Time travel doesn't create them. "Time travel" in the sense of moving from point A to point B along a linear time continuum independent of space is impossible. Space and time are the same thing. What you're doing when you time travel is crossing over into another universe, an alternate reality running parallel to the one you started in. You didn't create it; it already existed. And the one you left from is not destroyed; it persists, but from your point of view, [i]your[/i] reality has changed. [/qb][/QUOTE]But that's not Trek's take, historically. Otherwise there would be no point in all these efforts to change the past that occur in Trek, because they would have no meaning for those not involved. That is to say, only the time traveler could benefit from the act of time travel to change the past. Everyone not on the time travel bus is going to be in the same circumstance, just without the time traveler now. To borrow a phrase (no offense), the idea is not dramatically viable within the context of dozens of hours of Trek. ST4, FC, "Visionary", et al. all become meaningless, selfish diversions for the time travelers. Nor is that even Orci's take. He thinks time travel spawns a parallel universe, which makes little sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
