By being in the past, the entire moment
was being elevated to a different state. As soon as he left, the
entire arrangement would collapse and it would be as if he'd never
been there. Paradoxes were impossible, or very nearly so. In order
for something to have a lasting effect, one had to continue to pour
energy into it. Anything, or anyone so energized would have a
temporal wake behind them that made them very easy to track, if you
knew what you were looking for.
To go back in time and save an artefact, you would have to have to keep temporal wash-back at bay
until it reached the time when you decided to go back and rescue it.
Even so, such an object would essentially be out of phase until it
caught up to the present moment.
Pump enough energy into something and
it would create it's own pocket universe, similar to the one in which
the original time traveller had created.
If time were pictured as not a line,
but as a multidirectional 'area', such things could be understood to
be nudged 'sideways' in time. Existing, but not perceptible.
Something, or someone in such a state would create a time 'sink'
which would have a 'disposable' past – in as much as it would be
out of synch with everything else once the operation had ended.
This is where the issue of entanglement
comes up – or rather anti-entanglement. Can something moved
sideways in time be interacted with by the original time, in such a
way as to not create a paradox? In other words, short circuit the
causal nature of any temporal change by re-introducing the fix in a
manner that does not disrupt the chain of events required to cause
it.
Would it be possible to create a
temporal double slit pattern where an event simultaneously does and
does not happen and allow enough bleed through to indicate that
further action must be taken?
Is is it possible to polarize time in
such a way that a duality can be seen while it exists?
