My views are actually very simialr to CS's here. I think that every second that goes by, occurs milisecodns later in another reality, and so on and so on, so that say, as you read this word, a milisecond later the you in another dimension reads it, hten another you in another dimension reads it a milisecond after that and so on and so on. It also works forwards, so after you read this word, you have already read it in another reality, which could explain foretelling hte future- a slight thinning or gap in the border between realities opens up future events to the person in contct with the gap. Unlikely but possible. I believe time travel works similarly-travelling past ligh speed creates a rip between two dimensions that are identical except for the progression on the timeline, and the rip is a way between but only sustainable while you travel past lightspeed. Therefore I think it is very hard, if not impossible, to control which time period you go to unless a variety of 'rips' occur ad you can consciously guide yourself down one. Again this is delving into the realms of the supernatural and sci-fi, but it could be true, you never know what might be happening in this world.

And this story can explain Mitsurs story.

Lets call the current "you" "n" (basic math). Now, when you find youself in the position of being able to throw the rock, you basically save the "you", version n+1. And then, when n+1 is "transferred" to the past (where he can save n+2), you take his place. Just like n-1 has thrown the rock for you, and has taken your place. And this goes on from "n-infinite" to "n+infinite".
In tgheory, you would be transferred to a "next" dimension.

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"?

Actually, we can see back in time. The sunlight that reaches the Earth is 8.5 minutes old. So, basically, you're watching to the suns past...
