Many say that when you time travel, you create a new universe and that you cannot return to your "home" universe. You would be missing from "home" and would have a double in the new unvierse.
I only have opinions and speculation, but I personally feel that with the proper technology, we should be able to return "home" without a double. Zero divergence.
Zero divergence is a mathematical concept. It does exist. When explaining this previously, I was told that the error in my thinking is that I am quantifying infinity. Yes, I agree that I am quantifying infinity. I realize that mathematics such as Calculus use words such as "approaching infinity", inferring that it is something that cannot be reached. That makes sense because if it keeps going forever, you cannot reach an "end". But anyway, being that I do quantify it, I think of it as a "set" or a big cloud. It's almost as if the universe *IS* infinity. You can have more than one cloud or universe. And it in itself is forever expanding, but you can point it out as a single entity, such as one big ball of inifinity. Infinity 1, Infinity 2, etc.... make any sense? So, anyway, back to how this relates to time travel - There are infinite numbers of points existing inside this universe. Before you time travel, you can "mark" your current position or record where you are so that you can go back to it. (The techonology you use would have to utilize mathematics to do this). Now, you are going to ask me, "How can you determine your position in an ever expanding universe?". Well, this is assuming the universe is expanding/infinite in all directions -- and yes, I guess I am relating infinity to expansion, now. There must be some way to place a marker. Don't ask me how. If I knew how, I'd be quite successful and famous, would I not? haha. I am just not satisfied with accepting that we cannot trace our steps back to our home universe. Even if you make 50,000 new universes yourself, your original one STILL exists. If it exists, someday, somehow, somehwere, SOMEONE will find a way to return to it. And if this is true, manipulating time would end up being very dangerous. But let's face it, many of us have experienced timeline changes. I'm just not convinced that it's impossible to return!
