Some ideas are:

  • You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
  • You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
  • Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
  • Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
  • something else entirely

    Well, that was not the intended message to convey.

    Can you quote the part that gives you that impression? I’d like the chance to fix or clarify it.

        Basically, time is your body’s sensation of the inevitable terror that is the heatdeath of the universe.

        This doesn’t appear to pertain to gravity wells.

          What happens to the rate at which you travel through time as you approach the bottom of a gravity well?

            Yes, I know how special relativity relates space and time together, and that gravity is a warping of space, but I don’t see how this matters in the context of my comment.

              If time moves faster at the bottom of a gravity well, and terror increases with the speed of time, then what can we infer?

                    I don’t think so, I think you fucked up your understanding of my comment, and rather that admit it, you’ve gone on a 12 post goose chase to try and avoid admitting that you didn’t understand anything I wrote. Just own it dude, it’s okay to be wrong sometimes.
