Do you think events in time             Diverge. Everything matters; a
  converge or diverge? ` ___         __ ,  butterfly flapping it wings

I think things converge, so

I think the idea of convergent vs divergent timelines is
rather interesting. I think a convergent timeline is a
prerequisite for time travelling to work at all. If it's
divergent, you'll find that stepping on a flower thousands
of years ago might turn your family into lizard people,
like in that Simpsons episode. And let's face it: Who wants
to live with a bunch of V freaks?
