John Titor in 2000 explained that in the future they understand the Everett Wheeler model of the universe to be correct i.e. the "Many Worlds Theory" in which there are an infinite number of universes, an infinite number of "yous", an infinite number of timelines (worldlines) with nothing separating them but small, incremental differences.
John Titor explained that because of the above, there can be no paradoxes related to time travel.
if you go back in time to kill your grandfather before your father is conceived, you can still exist, because On your native world line, you did not go back not kill your grandfather.
You are actually killing the grandfather of "another you" that lives in a slightly different worldline, parallel to your own original.
Except on this world line you now find yourself on, that "other you" made slightly different choices, and therefore his reality is slightly different.
Decisions, over time, steer your life to certain outcomes. Some versions of you decide not to go out drinking before finals. Others decide to marry the girl the "other you" didn't have the courage to propose to.
We all travel through along time, and the way we steer is with our decisions.
Anyway, when you travel backwards, because the machine is not perfect, it is not able to stay "locked on" to your exact original worldline.
Picture worldlines as very close strings that diverge out like the trumpet the more time passes.
When you turn the machine off, you arrive in "the past," on a worldline "string" (very close and parallel to you) that you inadvertently & unavoidably "drifted to" as you went backwards. It's almost exactly like yours, give or take 2-3% difference.
While the time traveler is EFFECTIVLY "going back in time," the nuts and bolts reality of it is that the traveler is technically, mathematically, traveling to another (very parallel) universe.
The typical worldline "divergence" (difference) is 2-3% per 60 years of travel.
If God is infinite, than the God that created this verse, is the same God that created the other verses. He exists outside of Time and Space, therefore must be able to travel through and to the different verses, in order to maintain His Creation.
Which means that other worldline has another God.
Which is impossible, because God is infinite, and there can only be one infinite Being.
Thanks for commenting.
There cannot be a "different God" because, like you said, God is infinite.
But I submit to you that God is MORE INFINITE than you're giving Him credit for:
Nothing in the entire universe exists besides God. Therefore, nothing could ever be separate from God because God is "the All" and would certainly transcend worldlines.
The ultimate vanity is entertaining the idea that you or anyone or anything could ever be "so important" as to be separate from God.
Understand something frens: there is no such thing as separateness from God, only the ILLUSION of separateness.
So how does it work coming back to the "present"? How can you get back to the native worldline you are in initially?
Thanks for the explanation, John. Always loved thinking about time travel but the paradoxes (i.e., you can't meet yourself from the past or bad things happen).
Let's say you were to time travel from 2026 back to 2016 and stayed there for a year or two.
When it was time for you to return back to your 2026, you would turn the machine on and go backward to a moment before you initially arrived in 2016, then immediately throw the machine in "forward" and continue on back to your 2026.
John Titor, Feb 12, 2001: "Getting back to my exact worldline of origin is impossible but it depends on how you define the correct worldline. I can get close enough so neither I nor anyone there would know the difference. It relates to the classic example of cutting a distance in half to reach it. You can always get closer but never there. It also has a lot do with neighboring universes on Penrose diagrams but that requires more math."
Donald should go back in time and tell his younger self to buy and control all the Time Travel technology.
Wait... that would mean he either did that in the future, and it wasn't successful in the past...
or that Trump himself wasn't able to use time travel to manipulate the time continuum without creating a paradox.

How can you tell there are two things and not one? They must differ in some way.
If they differ in some way, then one lacks something that the other one has.
If one lacks something that the other one has, then the lacking being is not infinite because an infinite being, by definition, lacks nothing.
So there can only be one infinite Being.

Some random internet guy in 2000 made it all up.
I know what's easier to believe.

It’s all energy…and energy is neither created nor destroyed, it merely changes form.
Thought is electrical energy…once put out it remains forever moving through the universe. Because it is never destroyed.
Amazing once the idea percolates through the synapses…
Trust the science, eh?
THIS! ☝️
Perfectly explained John!
You are putting God within his creation. He is the uncaused cause, he isn’t subject to our rules.
Maybe it just finds the one with you missing?
Excellent explanation! Thanks John.

Thank you for the question BetsyRossRocks.

Differential equations and calculus…ugh…
This is one of my favorite "guilty pleasure" rabbit holes. It's a brain tickler.

I’ll be back.
