Let's consider Titor going back to 1975 to shoot himself and reverse his screwing up of the alleged timeline.
Now, 1975 was 35 years ago. That means that the events of 1975 will not just be confined to Earth, but photons from 1975 will now be 35 light years away. Someone with a powerful enough telescope on a planet 35 light years away would even see Titor going into the building to get the IBM. And they would be seeing that NOW.
So...any attempt to reverse the timeline then has to 'recall' all those photons that are light years away. But relativity insists nothing can travel faster than light..........so, how is your altering of a so-called timeline in 1975 going to instantly travel across 35 light years and affect those photons ?
Photons do not have some 'memory' that says ' I bounced off John Titor in 1975 '.....so how the hell does a photon 35 light years away KNOW that it is supposed to disappear if John Titor does ?
