Yes, I think that the whole problem is the repeating 1985-1955 travel (Marty goes to 1955, comes back, sees Marty traveling to 1955, that Marty then , comes back, sees Marty traveling to 1955, and so on) But the biggest problem is the merge between the two 1955s A= no marty and B=Marty and later on even C=marty and doc

Yes, it gets pretty screwy.

I lost my train of thought but it rains about 3 times in BTTF Part II...

Is this another one? Get this Marty from his time line (B?)

B - Has a picture of doc in 1885 , and a article about his death where Clara "his beloved"

Later , Marty says that his school has legends of a teacher going over the cannon and dieing. Obviously he's referring to his time line, and if it's the same time line as the one where he has the photo of Doc in 1885, and the article of his death and Clara, his beloved, then it's a mess up...

Is he referring to time line A? The one before the new time line?

That and the event that sealed their love didn't happen until a week later, so Marty had time to fix it before then. (the ripple took longer to catch up)

The reason marty didn't fade instantly was because there was still potential for it to happen

Does this mean that what Marty was saying about Clara happened, but did happen as well? He said in class he hears the story where a school teacher went over the canyon. Well, she lived...

Does that mean shortly after the event, any mention of it was erased from time? If so does that mean two time lines merged in that very scene without any noting or indication of this ever happening?

If Doc doesn't fake his death by the Libyans, Marty doesn't go back to 1955. If Marty doesn't go back to 1955, Doc doesn't learn about his death by the Libyans ahead of time, causing him to get shot and start it all over again... yeah, paradox city.

I'm not sure but I think we are on different issues of the same context.
My issue wasn't the concept of him faking the death, Marty going back, it was that the two time lines A and B had merged, which doesn't make much sense, as Marty would be going back to time line Bs past instead of As...if not time line C.

We've been working through this issue and came up with a self correctional time theory. But it still needs work. Their are issues that were brought up about him having the note in that time line, etc...

Like I said. Just run over Edna with the Delorean. No more first date.

The whole problem is if we (and they) count that everytime someone crosses the timebarrier a new timeline creates, or if the timelines creates when someone changes a choice or moment
