Some ideas are:
- You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
- You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
- Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
- Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
- something else entirely
Yes, I know how special relativity relates space and time together, and that gravity is a warping of space, but I don’t see how this matters in the context of my comment.
If time moves faster at the bottom of a gravity well, and terror increases with the speed of time, then what can we infer?
That you’re nitpicking a little bit of creative writing?
