Um, about hovercars being predicted to be invented in the 21st century…

Hovercars were not invented because in this day and age, there's no point.

Instead, we invented much more useful things like gigabyte-laden computer processors which could do… Gigabyte-laden… Things…

If you were going back in time and make a new timeline, it would not matter
to you that the original ever existed.
You would never be able to go back.
To yourself and everyone else, it would still all seem like one timeline.
And doesn't that happen all the time, then?
As time goes, let's call it forward, we all keep up with it, thereby traveling in
time.

Also, what is a more precise definition of "timeline"?

are you guys saying you wont be able to change anything by going back in time because what ever you want to do would have already happened
yeh i thought you did,

Well, if the only thing to suggest time travel is impossible is that what you want to do via time travel has already happened because you already went back in time, that creates a rather obvious paradox involving the fact that you can't time travel in the first place.

Oh well, it's obvious there is no "Time" anyway, so… *runs away screaming*
