But then again. What happens when you DON'T throw the rock? YOu would still be there, but the other you wouldn't. Would that destroy the rest of the dimensions? And thus leaving only the dimensions "n-infinite"-"n+1"?

This is where I use my theory of "Time doesn't break or reach infinite loops"
Either 1.) You can't NOT throw the rock. It breaks time
or 2.) By not throwing the rock, you create a new time-line (new reality) where you haven't thrown it.
Now, if you didn't throw it you would have died which means you wouldn't have been there to throw it... which would work since you never would have gone to the past to be able to throw it.
Since in order to get to the past to throw the rock you have to have already thrown it, it appears to be impossible not to throw the rock. If you somehow can NOT throw the rock, you need another time-line/reality to exist.
(I don't really go by the "Destroy all reality" thing)
To explain the "infinite loop" thing:
-You go back in time to kill Hitler. You've already failed.
If you hadn't of failed, you would have killed Hitler and I wouldn't be using him as an example.
If you succeded, it hasn't made any difference so you must have created a new reality. Otherwise, I wouldn't be useing him as an example.
Thinking in terms of a single time-line, if you go back in time you would have already been there and effected that time... so you're not really changing the past, you're just doing what has already been done.
