(if you even can return).

Why not? Multiple time lines mean that when traveling to the past you're traveling to somewhere that is happening simultaneously to our reality, just lagging behind, so besides traveling to the future in our same time line we can also travel to a timeline that is a bit forward (the one from where people traveling to the past would reach our timeline, that see us lagging behind), e.g.

¦ 0 ¦ 1 ¦ 2 ¦ <- A time line in the past
¦ 1 ¦ 2 ¦ 3 ¦ <- Our current time line (we're at 2 in the example)
¦ 2 ¦ 3 ¦ 4 ¦ <- A time line in the future

Traveling to the left would be impossible due to paradoxes, but you can visit a copy of the past by traveling up, and you can change it (as 2, 3 and 4 of the column at the very right have not happened yet), and there are two ways of going into the future, freezing yourself makes you travel to the future at the right (only way of time travel currently available) without a way back to the same time line, but you can travel down and visit "a copy of the future", and traveling up sends you to the timeline where you came from (that would be different from the future that you saw, as you're changing it by going back). The same is true for travels to the past (up).

Thus, you can travel up and down and your time line is always available, though not available at the time that you left it (e.g. if you spend 2 years in the past when coming back to your time line 2 years would have elapsed).

Agreed?

Agreed?
Why'd you tell me all that?

Because that's how I think consistent time travel would be like (without crazy time loops), after your agreement (besides the problems dealing with losing the time machine or that you have to travel nude and other unforeseeable factors) I think I'm on the right track. Thanks.

What is your favorite movie genre?

Your weird time travel method seems too linear, for one thing.

Can you elaborate? Are you fan of the time travel theory of consistent loops? (e.g. you wake up bald, and you go back in time to see what caused it, but on some twisted accident, you end causing your own baldness, etc) or ZOMG I CANZ CREATION NEW REALITIES JUST BY UZING A TIMES MACHINIMA!11lolol? or sci-fi only "the present from when I came from changes in real time with every change I make in the past"? Or something else even more bizarre?

(People that have a different belief about time travel are more interesting...)

This for Kawa:

Favorite video game character?
