The spacetime continuum is not a hard drive, and real life is not a computer.
What you are essentially doing is warping through space via FTL travel (impossible) to travel to the past.
The space-time continuum doesn't have a "memory," per se, you're just changing where you are in it.

Yes. If you kill one person, you would actually be killing hundreds of people. If you think of it, killing that one person may eliminate the existence of their children. Thereby eliminating the existence of their children and so on. It may be true that you were meant to kill them in 2003 but that's not the question. The question is, will it effect the future. The answer is yes. For every action there is a reaction. A consequence. You didn't have to go back and kill that person, but you did. Therefor changing the future. Everyone is in control of their future. Even if fate wasn't planning it.

well no. You would only have killed one person. I get what you are saying with the whole "it's a wonderful life theory" but physically, you only killed one person.
I think of time traveling like a journal. say it's the year 2011, and you go back to 1950, similar to looking at an old journal. You can only go backwards in time, or to the date that you left.
I think that the past can be changed, but not the future. If you change something in the past, time somehow sorts itself out.
My seniority means you should probably just agree with everything I say
I can see your stand-point on how I only killed one person. But you've eliminated the possibility of many other lives by taking one. Fate will bring you to a situation but free-will allows you to pull the trigger. A person's free-will effects their destiny. But it was free-will that effected your destiny. One incident may change the future forever. It may have been destined to become that way, but it was free-will that forced that fate into motion.

Physics can prove it's impossible to go backwards in time. You can just go slower than your surroundings, meaning you can get to 2100 in 20 years if you want.
