oh. I was hoping it'd explain time-travel, which concept I have a small problem with: if at point X in time, someone takes a time travel machine and goes back to the past, say Y in time, and interacts with the persons and surroundings there and then, wouldn't that very interaction change the future such that the someone is no longer able to go back to the past? If one is able to zoom in and out of time, there must be a caveat that they do nothing to change whatever is happening at that precise moment?

hmm.. am I making sense?

Time travel by nature engenders paradoxes. As it is, people have been arguing about models of time travel for decades, and lots of different models have been mooted. Best not to think too hard about it, really, or if you feel like getting into it, check Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel#The_possibility_of_paradoxes and read on from that point.
