I've thought of it like that before too, BM. I'm just thinking in terms of there being only one time that is consistent and any "changes" in the past from interference from the future were meant to happen. With probability and all I can see why your interpretation is valid. I sort of like to think of it in a notion I had while watching Samurai Jack once. Say Aku really did exist and all of those events in the show transpired. We all know Jack inevitably beats Aku and sets the time line right, so perhaps we are living in the correct timeline. But for that to happen, an alternate history had to take place first so that events would transpire and lead setting the timeline straight, so in the end, everything turned out the way we see it, so any sort of time travel was meant to happen and so paradoxes are theoretically impossible. Oy vey, we need a physicist on board.
