yeah your correct with that one i think i talked my self down the wrong rabbit hole there.
what i was trying to say is that the time traverler could not stop sumthing from happing ing in the past but rather perspon it or cause it to happen in a diffrent way,only to end up with the same outcome.
like in the terminators movies.
i think its kinda like the person cant change any after the point they timed traveled(back of course).
theres diffrent ways for me to look at it i can name 2 off hand so here goes.
you breack a glass containing water(or what ever liquid you prefer) which is sittin on your desk which is housing your computer, the liquid spills, shorting out your top of the line computer, then the phone rings your so compleatly pissed off that you dont answer the phone and instead decide to build a time machine(

go you). it takes all of three minites cause your gifted(no sarcasim their ,really im being honest, and please dont make fun of me cause my spellin.lol).
so you travel back in time to said event and you remeber that your not gonna break that glass of of fluid, so you step back from the desk thinking (im not gonna ruin my kick arss computer), then the phone rings, you then reach for it cause you missed the call before, knocken over the glass, not breaken it just spilling it, agin you thrashed your computer.
say time travel is already possible bout theirs this guy named after his grandfather(not i ok cause this is kinda indecent) but he never met his grand daddy, and wanted too so he traveled back to meet him upon meetin him(his granddaddy) the grandson parishes by a bolt of lightning,heart attack, brain anerisim what ever the grandson can travel back cause he grew to adulthood in the future to do so, and sense he was an adult when he traveled back to meet his grandpa. in that sense the future is set even though he died in the past his(*shrudder the thought*uuuuchhh-- ulllllccccchhhhh...barf*) grand parents then hooked up an was knocken the boots

for many nights to come

which still allowed the grandson from the future to meet the grandfather he never met only to die in the past.its a paradox yes but the future i think would continue for those who did not go back simply because from the point of origen they made diffrent choises(everyone cept the grandson),the paradox is only for the travaler see he went to the past so theres the continuos loop(where as at that moment he chose to go back to meet his grandfather and die, he might have deciced to go to the future30 years from that point, and that future dose not exist whim him in it cause he just vanished 30 years prior, andsay he gets hit by a low flying car hover car,after recovering he can return to the time he came from warn him self of said accedent. now if the grandson decide hell no with the time travel bit i think im just gonna go to work to day instead, the duplacate that went to the future would cest to exist(even if he decide ok ill go to the future but at such point ill just duck) because the granson decided not to(or to/but carefully) travel to said said destination. so then the future could not be set by him simply cause he didnt exist in the future to beging with cause he vanihed 30 some year prior. and sense he didnt exist in that future it allwoed him self to change the past,to change the future(insert paradox) to change another past if he screwed up just to change another future ect. aollowing fot multiverse too exist in the future only because he or we havent made what ever choices to create such future..

i understand what you are trying to get at, and it is plausible and as a matter of fact how id expect it to happen if indeed the future was set in stone
