Curious... I paused it midway because I didn't really understand one point, so maybe some higher being can enlighten me.
If you were to go back in time and "trigger the specific events" that led to your younger self inventing something that would find you with an amazing amount of wealth in the future, that would mean your current state wouldn't exsist... right?
By changing the timeline you have eliminated the outcome of a future where you hadn't gone back, namely the current you. You would have erased your own exsistance.
But since it was you as a child being changed, would you suddenly regain consciousness in your new future's body?
