I know no one can provide actual insight into time travel, but I know a lot of you smarter folks theorize on it and come up with logical answers of what could be true; figure I could ask questions here since it's relevant to the Flash. I'll have more later, but I'll post them as I think of them.
First off let's just call the base timeline 'Timeline A'. This means there is no tampering with the space-time continuum or whatever. No one went back in time and changed anything, everything is going as it should.
Now, Timeline B would be the first 'spin-off'. This is the timeline we see in Season 1, where Eobard came back in time and killed Barry's mother.
1. When one of these characters travel back in time, what happens to their original self? For example, Eobard from Timeline A traveled back in time and was stuck in Timeline B for 15 or so years. So was Eobard missing from Timeline A for 15 years? Or was a split-version of him still existing there?
2. Let us assume Barry went back in time and did save his mother. Since I'm not really sure if this would have created another spin-off, or if it would have maintained Timeline A's integrity, I'm going to call it Timeline AB. So Barry saves his mother and creates Timeline AB. Okay, he goes back through the wormhole... what then? Did the people from Timeline B just 'phase' out of existence? Was it replaced/rewritten by Timeline AB? Perhaps Barry didn't go back to Timeline B, but instead went 15 ears into Timeline AB? In that case, wouldn't he just see the Timeline AB Barry Allen there? So he really would not even matter. Or would Timeline AB Barry Allen suddenly phase out of existence and the Timeline B Barry would take his place? In this case, what's the point... because Timeline B Barry would just 'phase in' at that moment, and he'd have no recollection of having a life with his real mom and dad... right?
