no, our timeline would be a different one, that he created at the moment he came back
so, we all here are part of this new timeline he created
at the moment he did comeback the universe system created a new universe that would have the same timeline and states until the moment he did appear
on this new universe, so, his presence would be able to change the whole timeline of this new universe
ok, but since he comeback to the past, the universe would HAVE to have a database of everything, with universes x time x each "atom" state, so the
system could get every information about the state the traveler wants to go back and create another universe so he is able to experience
imagine this cube
replace stores and products with universes and states of "atoms"
so, you would be able to access all the states about any universe during any moment of its existence, so you would be able to create another timeline
using a timeline as a base, so, you would get the timeline of our universe until the moment he want to visit and put it in a new universe, so, the
rest of the timeline (or the time traveler future) would be able to become anything
this is the way I think the universe would work (if time travel to the past is allowed), based on computer systems and logic, since, we all know that
if somebody did go to the past, he would change people's lives and he would change the universe state or at least some "atoms" states, and that
itself would be enough to change the state of a lot of "atoms" during time, so the timeline would be different than the timeline without his
presence
this "theory" is the one that makes more sense to me, I dont know a lot, this is kind of "created" by my brain, so, this is the way I see the time
travel possibility
but the reality is that I dont believe its possible to time travel back, since it will be a lot like a computer system and we probably wouldnt exist,
we wouldnt have a soul or anything, so, it wouldnt be a cool thing hahah, we would be simply part of the system, without any specific relationship
between our bodies and our souls, because soul wouldnt exist --- you could say we would be IAs
