Have you ever considered why changing the past is not a problem in time travel?
Consider the following:
You decide you hate Christopher Columbus because he discovered America and you think that he should've discovered plutonium instead. So, you hop in your time machine and cruise back to 1492 and, just two days before Columbus discovers America, you steer him into a whirling maelstrom, where he's eaten by sea serpents. Your mission is complete and you retire to your vacation home in Wales. Time goes by and no one discovers America because, clearly, the world is flat. Your mother's family in America, made up entirely of Irish immigrants, stays in Ireland. And your Dad's family, made up entirely of Native Americans, helps build the great North American Unified Tribal Nation. Your Mom and Pops never meet. You're never born. And, because you're never born, you never go back in time to stop Columbus from sailing the ocean blue in 1492. Hence, America is discovered and the whole scenario resets. Got it now? In linear time, you can't go back and change stuff.
I wonder who is going to tell Hollywood?
