You people seem to be making a false assumption that if there are
parallel universes, there would necessarily be an infinite number of
parallel universes, which seems logically implausible, not just
because infinities are inherently disagreeable, but that since each
variation of a universe, would spawn an infinity of variations on
that, it would necessitate an alef infinity class of infinities.
It is far more reasonable to assume that when conscious time travelers
change the past in such a way that would necessitate a change in their
own time line, then the new time line would exist only within their
own conscious mind, which would necessarily mean that reality only
exist within a finite number of conscious entities, which would in no
way resemble these entities as we perceive them.
