The Relativity being a real Starfleet ship now?
Well that and the Aeon have to be real... otherwise the events in Future's End and Relativity wouldn't have taken place? They weren't episodes with a reset button.
Take Future's End - if there was no Aeon and no Braxton and no going back in time - then there is No Doc's holoemitter. Which has been a key point in the rest of the series.
Although this means the future is set in stone - but not necessarily - as Braxton in Relativity say that he has no knowledge of the event Janeway talks about then there must be a parallel dimension thing happening here.
So there is no real time-travel just a lot of new dimension creation.
Like in Yesterday's Enterprise - someone told me - and explained how there is actually 3 timelines in that episode... I THINK it is something like
The original time-line with Tasha dying at Vagra II and she was never in the past.
The altered timeline where the Feds are at war with the Klingons
The new timeline where there is a Tasha Yar from the altenate future now present in the past - when she wasn't there before.
That MIGHT be what he's getting at - but maybe alt-Tasha was ALWAYS on the E-C when she was destroyed when some of the crew escaped.
MAYBE it was the presence of Tasha Yar that led some of the crew to abandon ship - which Garret didn't order in the first timeline.
Temporal mechanics *throws hands in air*
