The time line has to be destroyed to travel back

With the discovery of ultimate fabric of space-time comes the ability to make it revert to the origin state, totally dissolving the time-line backwards.

A side effect is that a focal point of the time explosion is thrown to edge of the dissolved time-line untouched. The bigger the explosion the further the unravel. Just make sure you're the first.

Never has starting again been so good, especially if your carrying a data stick.

So if it's a sticky, very laminar universe. [wjt, Jun 03 2018]

Side effect. Effect is the noun. Make sure you’re the first.

Where are you going to plug in the data stick? All they had was primitive scsi back then...

{RayfordSteele] That could be one of the endings, if travel calcs are off. Since the traveler is affecting time on such a small scale, in the scheme of things, patience is probably all that is needed.

Only works to the edge of the Heliosphere and with our outward protrusions, advanced extra-terrestrials get interested. Something about levels of bubbles in the universe.

Of course the advance Extra-terrestrials realize that to create an idem-plosion unravel without a focal point, it will be complete and unstoppable.

... and has already happened. Several times.

Just leave it alone, before you break something. Like the entire Universe. Again.
