Was the explanation of the Back to the Future 2 timeline correct? [duplicate] - Person in Brown Coat and Black Hat Standing Near White and Black Floral Wall

In the S08E05 of The Big Bang Theory, Leonard and Howard argue about the timeline of Back to the Future Part II. They talk about how the future Biff would go to a different future once he gives the almanac to 1955 Biff. And then when Sheldon came to explain it, I kinda lost it.



Best Answer

He's right. Sheldon is just going with the alternate future created by "Biff giving almanac to his younger self and younger Biff starting to use it in 1958, and this alternate future doesn't contain Doc and Marty as people using the time machine to go to the future, as Doc would be in prison and Marty stepson of Biff as shown in the second part of the movie itself. Hence, this event, of the altered past created by going of the people(Marty and Doc) to 2015 doesn't exist and thus the younger Biff doesn't have the almanac.

Well, when it comes to time machines, we can paradoxically prove or disprove anything, that's the essence of it, if you come to break it(and steal the fun) into understanding.

Are there multiple timelines in Back to the Future?

It's been thirty-five years since Robert Zemeckis sent Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd on a wild time travelling adventure, creating multiple timelines over the course of three Back to the Future films in the process.

Is there a paradox in Back to the Future?

A paradox is self-contradictory, an impossibility, and the reason why time travel could not exist, in theory. A perhaps even more famous paradox is the one that occurs in Back To The Future, where Marty McFly spends a week living in one. Marty shouldn't have been able to do what he did.

What year is it supposed to be in Back to the Future 2?

After visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...

Are there two Martys in 1985?

Marty McFly wakes up after returning to 1985 to find things different amongst the family. George McFly is now a successful writer \u2013 with a sweet BMW 733i -, Lorraine McFly is happy and thin, Dave McFly wears a suit to the office (Burger King corporate?), and Linda McFly is now popular.
