Another time travel conundrum...


I'm going to simplify this as much as possible.

If David goes back in time to correct an event--to kiss Jessie--thereby causing him to hook up with Jessie.

Now the very reason he went back in time no longer exists.

Shouldn't he cease to exist the moment he kisses Jessie since the reason he went back no longer exists therefore he never would have gone back to that point?

...and wouldn't there be 2 Davids? One who thought to learn parachuting and one who wanted to fall in love?


...any way, what does any one know about time travel and paradox? This was a good film with value... and a moral. There are no second chances.

There are no second chances (except that David doesn't destroy the original time machine because ???? and the movie ends with the start of a new loop where David has the knowledge gained from the second camera).

My question is this. Why would the second camera remain in the past if he disappeared? The camera should had disappeared when he did, since he brought it with him. If he destroyed the original machine, making it so he could never be there, then camera wouldn't be there either. Right?
