Parker, How different can you be in the different timelines though?

You'd still have your original parents or?

I mean, if you had a totally different background, ie born and raised by aboriginals on an island in the middle of nowhere, You wouldn't really be YOU, now would you? :D

I've always wondered, why does this man not up grade that computer voice? He sounds like a 1980's Speak n' Spell!

Very true.  Roger Ebert was given an artificial voice which replicated his own voice pretty closely. I'm sure someone would give hawking a free upgrade.

maybe he likes the artificial computer sound---cold, unfeeling. Like science, in a way.

Not gonna lie, I have never studied physics, but wrote about this very thing in a journal when I was a freshman in college. The collective consciousness is therefore proven.

I don't know...just how different I would be. Think about it, if you get killed in one timeline, does that mean that you may cease to exist in all others? What if in one timeline you were more driven? And which timeline is the real you? One could say all of them are the real you, it's just that each "you" has had different chances, decisions, and circumstances (rich or poor parents, schooling, right or left, lifting and not lifting).

It's just like time travel. Back To The Future. Marty had alternate universes.

When Marty changed time in all of the films the changes affected his timeline directly.  In a multi-universe scenario, when Marty gave Biff the sports almanac an alternate timeline would branch off from that point of change but Marty's original timeline would have remained unchanged.

If i get killed in one Timeline, i might be Eobard Thawne in another.

If i was more driven in one timeline, i'm sure i'd be a Lawyer AND a Marine by this time.

Which timeline is the real you? Have to ask Jack Harper that i believe!

I can only say, Maybe in another timeline it was Zimmerman who ate the skittles and bit the bullet??

Yes, but then there could be an unlimited amount of timelines for each person....

For instance, there would be no milestones or specific turning points which be deciding factors but rather every single action, all the time.

I love parallel universe....    DMT might actually be the vehicle to take u there....    When people think abt travelling thruntime and dimension....    Its not with an internal combustion engine, but using ur pinneal gland to master the universe

I always think about dead relatives, and how on some plane of existence, they're still alive, doing whatever they are doing once time travel becomes available, everyone will be still alive on some plane.

Yeah there would be a truly infinite number of time lines. To the point it's not even useful to view them as timelines or even dimensions.

Even if this were true, each of us here is where we are.  We do not cross time lines, but instead live in one.  What happens here is as real as it gets. Birth and death with what comes in between being called living.

In every Timeline known to the Universe, Cutler's cock is broken in all of them :-\

Unless you have Owlmans Dimensional Travel Device
