But that doesn’t mean you’d stay in that branch once you went back and veered off. Apparently you want to think of it like a tree. Thats fine. Sunlight hits leaves on older branches to give it the energy to grow new branches. Energy gathered from the leaves of older branches is used to grow new branches. Not visit and go back up. So let’s say you’re at the top of the tree right now and you travel back and change something, (a new branch) what on earth makes you think you’ll be coming back up the trunk?
