[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7610876, member: 177"] Hm... Perhaps. Some possibilities... 1) Note that the time travel in this case is accomplished through means different from every other time travel seen in the Trek Universe. It actually hints at some things in real science, in that for some kinds of black hole, the math suggests that you can go in, and get out of the black hole into another universe. This may be what happens in the Kelvin timeline, making it all simple. From the point of view of the prime timeline, The [I]Jellyfish[/I] and the [I]Narada[/I] fall into a black hole, never to be seen again. 2) The changes that Nero and Spock make to the timeline are self-limiting, or Prime-Spock arranges for them to be looped. For example, Prime-Spock tells Kelvin-Spock to never touch red matter. No black hole is created for Spock and Nero to fall into. The time-travel never happens, so the Kelvin timeline never happens. Or, alternatively, knowing the impact of the supernova, and when it will be, the Kelvin Timeline avoids the death of Nero's family, and he never chases Spock down. 3) Guess, what? Kirk, Spock, and the planet Vulcan are great and all... but the timeline manages, regardless. The events of Next Gen happen, just with fewer Vulcans. There's a rescue armada to help the Romulans faced with a supernova, and shortly thereafter, something goes horribly awry and Admiral Picard leaves Starfleet... [/QUOTE]
