Time Travel Theory

According to Doctor Emmett Brown in Back to the Future Part II, whenever a time-traveler alters key events occurring in the past, they effectively bring an alternate timeline into existence at their point-of-entry, and their original timeline is erased, even though its events are not forgotten by the time-traveler. Thus, every time travel jump into the past depicted in the Back to the Future saga “destroys” a current timeline and “creates” a new one, although the term Doc Brown often uses to describe the deleterious effects of this process is “erased from existence”. Travelling to the future will not create a new timeline. The time traveller will merely move forward along his current timeline.

Scientific context

There currently exists no scientific theory in theoretical physics to explain all three time travel phenomena encountered in the Back To The Future concept of spacetime. However, there exist scientific theories to explain two of them separately, while the third is as of yet inexplainable.

Alternate timelines

As new timelines are created while the time traveler remains unchanged (including his memory of the old timeline he came from) and as soon as a new timeline is created, he travels along the newly created timeline, the most immediately plausible explanation would be the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics popular in science fiction utilizing the theme of time travel. The many-worlds interpretation or MWI (also known as relative state formulation, theory of the universal wavefunction, many-universes interpretation, Oxford interpretation or many worlds), is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that claims to resolve all the paradoxes of quantum theory by allowing every possible outcome to every event to... For a less technical and generally accessible introduction to the topic, see Introduction to quantum mechanics. ...

According to this theory, any event creates a new universe identical to the one it parted from, only that in this new universe, the particular event did not take place or took place in an alternate way, and in the context of timespace continuum concepts was expanded to claim that any change caused by time travel would result in another such creation of a universe aka "timeline" which the time traveler would enter the instance he causes the change.

Destruction of timelines

However, the many worlds interpretation does not explain the complete "destruction" of timelines due to the creation of an alternate timeline that Doc repeatedly refers to (and which we presumably witness when Marty McFly starts to disappear in 1955 due to never being born, or when Biff Tannen completely vanishes in 2015 after returning from giving himself the Sports Almanac in 1955).

This "destruction" of alternate timelines might be explained by two theories, one called Block time, aka Eternalism, the other Gödel metric, aka Closed Timelike Curve. According to these two theories, time "is flat", i. e. every moment exists simultaneously (the perceived "flow" of time being nothing but a constant motion within the fourth dimension, akin to a motion within the first three caused for instance by gravitation) so causality might be reversed or even completely disabled when "by-passing" the force akin to gravity causing constant motion in time, yielding a state in that the original timeline never even existed as a separate universe, not even for the time traveler, while he remains in a universe actually altered by his actions. From the time traveler's POV, nothing has changed, he only made sure of what from his POV had never been any different, and even no other signs of the original timeline will remain inside such a universe. From the time traveler's POV, such a timespace continuum would equal an immutable timeline. Block time is one way of approaching the problem of the nature of time. ... The word eternalism has at least four meanings: Eternalism (philosophy of time) is a view according to which the past, present and future are all equally real. ... The Gödel solution is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the stress-energy tensor contains two terms, the first representing the matter density of a homogeneous distribution of swirling dust particles, and the second associated with a nonzero cosmological constant (see lambdavacuum solution). ... In a Lorentzian manifold, a closed timelike curve (CTC) is a worldline of a material particle in spacetime that is closed. ...

However, as we never see any actual destruction of a timeline (only vanishing, partly or total, of things that came from it), it could also well be that Doc could be wrong from the beginning on this "destruction" of timelines. This possibility is hinted at when not the whole timeline is destroyed resulting in the version of 2015 Doc and Marty are currently in while Biff is "destroying" it by changing events in 1955, or otherwise Doc and Marty would be "destroyed" as Biff is doing so. Such a flaw in Doc's reasoning is furthermore likely as Biff disappears after causing a timeline in which he would not exist in 2015 (due to being shot by Lorraine around 1996), while Marty remains in 1885 even after creating a timeline in which he had never traveled back to it.

Ripple effect

Yet, Eternalism or Gödel metric cannot explain what Doc dubs the Ripple effect, which is that a time traveler remembers the timeline he came from (as in such an eternal or block spacetime continuum, alternate timelines do not equal different universes which the time traveler has been part of prior to his travelling) and can even gradually witness changes that can only occur by means of time travel, such as Marty's partial disappearance in 1955 due to never having been born, or the 1885 changes of the tombstone photo made in 1955 before Marty travels to 1885.

In the context of M-theory, the use of the phrase Ripple effect appears plausible at first sight, as the term to ripple is used in said theory when different universes caused by the occurring of events (such as time travel) interfere or collide. However, this effect would follow from above-mentioned quantum mechanics explaining the creation of alternate timelines yet outruling their destruction as mentioned by Doc, presumably by means of Eternalism or Gödel metric. M-theory is a solution proposed for the unknown theory of everything which would combine all five superstring theories and 11-dimensional supergravity together. ...

On top of that, according to M theory, such a rippling or interference of different timelines would only affect the timeline created by the most recent time travel (as according to the many worlds interpretation and M-theory, time travel creates an alternate timeline, while these theories do not explicitly claim that it does create the original one the time traveler came from as well). For instance, while the tombstone that Marty photographed in 1955 will most likely not exist in the new timeline created when in 1885 Doc and Marty keep Buford from killing anyone and even get him into prison, the photo of the gravestone would never actually change as Marty has brought it with him from the timeline where Buford has actually killed Doc.

In short, according to the many worlds interpretation and M-theory the photo would act like Marty's own memory as he remembers that alternate timeline even after he and Doc have prevented it, that is the photo would never change. According to Eternalism or Gödel metric, Marty's (and Doc's) memory would change as the photograph does. Both cases would not leave any room for the Ripple effect (at least not the gradual fadings as shown in the movie trilogy) we see and Marty or Doc being able to witness and remember it.

1950s

• 1955
  • Saturday, November 5th:
    • Marty McFly arrives in 1955 from Timeline 1, on Twin Pines Farm, and knocks down one of Old Man Peabody's twin pine trees, who then later renames his farm, Lone Pine Farm.
    • Marty interferes with the first meeting of George McFly and Lorraine Baines by pushing George out of the way of Sam Baines's car, getting hit instead of George.
    • Marty finds the young Doc Brown and shows him the time machine from thirty years in Doc’s future. Its plutonium is depleted, however, rendering it useless for time travel.
    • Marty discovers the flyer with the details of the clock tower lightning strike. Doc has said that only "a bolt of lightning" could provide the power to make the time machine function. The two devise a plan to channel the lightning exactly one week from this date.
  • Sunday, November 6th: Doc learns that Marty has interfered with his parents' first meeting and that he and his siblings will be “erased from existence” unless Marty can get them together.
  • Monday, November 7th: Marty, as "Calvin Klein" ("Levi Strauss" in the Spanish dubbed version and "Pierre Cardin" in the French one), goes to Hill Valley High School to try and get George and Lorraine together, but she has developed a crush on Marty instead of George. Biff Tannen is not amused by this development.
  • Tuesday, November 8th:
    • Marty, in a radiation suit as "Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan", visits George to try and make him take Lorraine to the dance that Saturday.
    • George reports his weird alien experience to “Calvin,” telling him that Darth Vader said he would melt his brain if he failed to ask out Lorraine. After George helps Marty open a Pepsi bottle, they go into the cafe, where George talks with Lorraine. The plan is successful at first, until Biff and his gang interfere. Biff and his gang chase Marty around Courthouse Square, and Marty improvises a skateboard to escape. Lorraine ignores George in favor of Marty, and asks Marty to the dance. Biff’s car has its first recorded encounter with a manure truck.
  • Wednesday, November 9th: George and Marty come up with a plan for Saturday night that will see George become a "fighter" for Lorraine Baines.
  • Saturday, November 12th:
    • Biff, who is paying the bill on his tidied-up car, boasts to Lorraine that he will marry her someday. She has just picked up her outfit for the dance at the frock shop, and rebuffs his advances: “I wouldn’t marry you if you had a million dollars”. Biff jumps into his car to go home to get ready for the evening. There is nobody with him.
    • Marty observes that Dave, and then Linda, have disappeared from his photograph from the future, indicating that the current timeline has already changed into a timeline in which they will never be born. He looks noticeably concerned.
    • Marty borrows Doc’s car to take Lorraine to the dance, but Biff steals her away. George arrives while Marty is suddenly absent. George punches Biff before he has his way with Lorraine, but she hasn’t fallen for him quite yet. George and Marty have more to do before Marty’s future is restored, and Marty’s photo proves it. Marty himself begins to be “erased from existence.”
    • While George and Lorraine are finally beginning to enjoy themselves at the dance, Dixon cuts in. George nevertheless takes what is rightly his and the future Mr. & Mrs. McFly finally share their first kiss. The timeline in which George's and Lorraine's three children were never born has been averted, as Marty observes from his photo. Marty offers additional advice to his young parents in order to assure he will have a nice life back in '85.
    • At 10:04 p.m., lightning strikes the clocktower, and Marty travels back to 1985 in the time machine, via a complex utilization of the energy of the lightning strike itself devised by Doc Brown, and thanks to Marty McFly’s precise foreknowledge of this local historic event. There are no reported immediate witnesses to this event. Despite repeated attempts, the clock is never successfully repaired; in fact, some Hill Valley residents voice a desire for the clock’s preservation as is (along with the damaged ledge below it) to memorialize the unusual occurrence.
    • 10:05 p.m. The young Doc Brown returns home, unnoticed, having witnessed the earliest successful demonstration of time travel in human history. He is carrying a note Marty has handed him in lieu of verbal information about his own future, but is hesitant about reading it. While he has torn it up, he does not discard it. Doc must wait almost three decades before acquiring the technology required to build the device he has just seen with his own eyes, and is careful enough not to further interfere with McFly family events as they unfold over the next decade (see Timeline 1 above for these events, which are for the most part unaltered, and will also occur as part of Timeline 7 below).

1980s

• 1985
  • Saturday, October 26:
    • At 1:24 a.m., Marty arrives from 1955. The rematerializing DeLorean fails to stop and crashes into the front of the Town Theatre (now used for a Christian revival congregation). He then runs from the town square over to the Lone Pine Mall to witness the departure of his one-week-younger self (The fate of this alternate 1985 Marty remains a mystery), and finds out Doc survived because he was forewarned by the note Marty gave Doc just moments ago in 1955 about the Libyans (and that Doc finally had the courage to read in his long interim). Doc retrieves the time machine before any witnesses arrive to the rundown square (other than a tired homeless man sleeping on a bench), and no charges are lodged against driver or scientist.
    • Doc takes Marty back to his home, and then travels to 2015.
      As the Doc travels forward 30 years along this timeline, the next 30 years of timeline 2 are revealed below.
    • (Saturday morning) Marty awakes from a much-needed night’s rest to discover he has a much-improved family life and circumstances, including ownership of a black Toyota four-by-four. His father also seems to have become an author (see below).
  • Sunday, October 27th: Marty races Needles and crashes into a Rolls-Royce, causing his future to be rotten (see entries below).
  • October/November: George McFly's first novel, A Match Made in Space, is published. The cover alludes to young George, young Lorraine, and "Darth Vader" (Marty's anti-radiation suit, utilized as a costume in 1955).

Timeline 3

This is the timeline which Doc brings into existence by travelling to 1985 to seek Marty and Jennifer's help. In this timeline, the fate of the McFly children ought to have been greatly improved. Unfortunately, “Old” Biff's stealing the DeLorean and traveling back to 1955 retroactively changes the events of this timeline and bring Timeline 4 into existence instead. Biff quickly returns the DeLorean to 2015 undetected (before any past alterations have taken place), and Doc, Marty and Jennifer depart moments before it fades away.

  • Wednesday, October 21st:
    • Doc, Marty and Jennifer arrive in 2015 to save Marty Jr. from Griff. Marty poses as Marty Jr. and turns down Griff's proposal. After the hover board chase which ensues, only Griff and his gang are arrested for damaging the courthouse. At some point Marty acquires a Grey’s Sports Almanac with the intention of using it to his advantage once he returns to his own decade.
    • “Old” Biff, age 78, who has been waiting for this opportunity for three decades, steals the DeLorean and heads back to 1955 with Marty’s sports almanac, which Doc angrily threw into a convenient trash receptacle, bringing Timeline 4 into existence six decades in the past.
    • Biff returns the DeLorean to 2015. His return to Timeline 3 appears to break the Doc's rules of time travel (he should have returned to 2015 in Timeline 4). However the "ripple effect" which would cleanse the timelines is slightly delayed (Biff had travelled to 1955 where his younger self is too young to gamble, meaning young Biff could not immediately act on the knowledge contained in the almanac until 1958). After a few seconds in Timeline 3, the "ripple effect" which turns timeline 3 into timeline 4 catches up with Biff and he gets erased from the timeline after having been presumably murdered by Lorraine in 1996 Timeline 4. (see below)
    • Doc, Marty and Jennifer, who think their adventure is over unwittingly depart to an "alternate 1985" thinking they are going home. They are unaware of the fact that Timeline 3 is collapsing around them and their trip to 1985 brings Timeline 5 into existence.

  • Saturday, November 12th:
    • The 78-year-old Biff Tannen arrives from 2015 sometime that morning with Gray’s Almanac. He hides the DeLorean in an undetermined location and sets out to find his younger self, who has just survived an automotive encounter with a manure truck, creating a lasting memory. Young Biff will have to pick up the car this morning downtown, as old Biff recalls correctly.
    • Young Biff boasts to Lorraine that he will marry her someday. She has just picked up her outfit for the dance at the frock shop nearby, and rebuffs his advances. Biff is about to jump into his car to go home to get ready for the evening, when he encounters an elderly stranger occupying the driver’s seat. The stranger soon informs him, “Today’s your lucky day.”
    • Old Biff, entirely in secret, demonstrates the power of the almanac and convinces his younger self to hold on to it: “Keep it in a safe”. He also informs him to kill anyone who asks about the almanac, specifically "some kid" or "a crazy, wild-eyed old man who claims to be a scientist" (referring to Marty and Doc, respectively). He departs 1955 at exactly 6:38 p.m. to return the DeLorean undetected, not realizing his younger self might eventually lose the almanac. Doc Brown will fail to notice Old Biff’s departure time on the time readouts in the DeLorean, having distracted himself with thoughts of women and the old West.

This is the alternate timeline brought into existence when Marty, Doc and Jennifer return from 2015. This is referred to by Doc as 1985A, which is depicted in BTTF Part II. The key difference between this timeline and Timeline 4 is the simultaneous presence of two Martys (his doppelganger overseas at boarding school), two Docs (his doppelganger committed to a mental institution) and possibly two Jennifers, one who is still unconscious from what she has witnessed in 2015 and her 1985A doppelganger, if she has one, which is never seen or mentioned. 1985A is the designation for the alternate reality of 1985 depicted in the ficticious 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II. The term was coined by Doc Brown, the inventor of a time machine, when he draws a timeline on a blackboard and explains to Marty McFly how changing...

Alternate explanation: We have no canon evidence for the continued existence of Timeline 4 Marty, Doc, and Jennifer after their departure for 2015 from Timeline 2. Given that the timeline altered around them during their trip, it is entirely possible (from the perspective of those in Timeline 4), that Timeline 4 Marty, Doc and Jennifer "vanished" at the time of their departure in Timeline 2 to "reappear" in the DeLorean, with their Timeline 2 memories intact, in Timeline 5, creating no doubles.

1980s

• 1985
  • Saturday, October 26th: Doc, Marty and Jennifer arrive back from 2015 at 9:00 p.m. and find out things have radically changed (see Timeline 4 above). Marty is caught by Match, Skinhead and 3-D, meets the radically alternate 1985 versions of his mother and Biff Tannen, and is a direct witness to Biff’s way with women.
  • Sunday, October 27th: Doc deduces what has happened in the past with Biff and the almanac from the evidence Biff has carelessly left behind, but he has no way of knowing when and where the transfer occurred. A courageous Marty confronts Biff about his secret document and easily extracts the needed information from the smug mogul. Biff, recalling the advice given by his future self, grabs his gun to kill Marty. A chase with Match, Skinhead and 3-D naturally ensues, and Marty escapes once again after learning it was Biff who murdered his father.
  • Doc and Marty head back to 1955 at 2:42 a.m. to put the history they remember back on track. Jennifer Parker is left behind, as Doc surmises that she will not be erased when 1985A is. At this point, Timeline 5 fades away, to be replaced by the nascent Timeline 6.

Timeline 6

This is the key timeline brought into existence when Doc and Marty arrive in 1955 to relieve Biff of his newly acquired almanac from the future, thus preventing Timeline 4 and Timeline 5 from coming into existence, but without disturbing Timeline 2 as Marty has previously accomplished. This is the timeline that is depicted in the "1955" part of BTTF Part II. For purposes of clarification, this timeline can be thought of as a “patched” version of Timeline 2, with double Docs and Martys.

Note: this is the most volatile timeline of the trilogy, since it is tied to events depicted or alluded to in all three parts of “Back to the Future”. It also bears noting that at some point during this one-day period, three instances of Doc’s DeLorean are present in Hill Valley simultaneously.

1950s

• 1955
  • Saturday, November 12th:
    • At 6 a.m., Doc and Marty arrive from Timeline 5 in a DeLorean more technologically improved than the one (with depleted plutonium) in which the younger Marty has already arrived (Timeline 2). They have left Jennifer Parker safely asleep at home in 1985A, as Doc surmises that she will not be erased by any changes to the future that they will make. He also advises Marty that Biff’s initial acquisition of the almanac must not be interfered with, so that “Old” Biff will return the time machine to 2015 thinking he’s succeeded.
    • Morning: “Old” Biff arrives (in yet another instance of the DeLorean) to transfer the almanac to his younger self. He locates Biff at the auto repair shop picking up his car.
    • Young Biff Tannen boasts to Lorraine that he will marry her someday. She has just picked up her outfit for the dance at the frock shop, and rebuffs his advances. Biff is about to jump into his car to go home to get ready for the evening, when he encounters an elderly stranger occupying the driver’s seat. The stranger says he has a way for Biff to eventually get Lorraine to the altar. Young Biff fails to recognize his older self, even though he’s mysteriously able to start Biff’s car.
    • Marty McFly is an intimate witness to Old Biff’s demonstration of the power of the almanac, but he does not interfere, as Doc has advised. Young Biff tells his older self he’ll “...take a look at it.”
    • 6:38 p.m.: Thinking he’s done enough to change the future, and intending to escape detection, “Old” Biff departs in the DeLorean to the same moment he departed in 2015 (see Timeline 3).
    • Evening: A more mature and foreknowledgeable Marty fights off Match, Skinhead and 3-D and keeps them from jumping the naive Marty (from Timeline 2), allowing the events of that timeline to occur as they had before (i.e., as Marty recalls it from his point of view). Marty avoids any direct contact with his day younger self, as does Doc Brown with his younger counterpart.
    • Evening: After much wasted time and effort, Marty ultimately retrieves the almanac from Biff’s car and burns it, causing this timeline to fade back to (or revert to) Timeline 3. Marty and Doc are able to visually confirm the erasure of 1985A from items they’ve retrieved from that alternate future.
    • A few minutes before 10:00 p.m.: The hover-converted DeLorean from 2015 and 1985A, with Doc on board, gets unexpectedly struck by lightning just outside Lyon Estates and sent back to January 1, 1885 due to an on-board malfunction Doc neglected to correct. This brings Timeline 7 into existence, seven decades further in the past. Interestingly, this time jump didn't require the DeLorean to be moving at 88 mph.

Timeline 7

This is the timeline Doc and Marty exist in, separated by 7 decades of time, at the end of BTTF Part II and the beginning of Part III (i.e., before Marty’s trip back to 1885). It is a timeline in which Doc lives in 1885, without Marty, for only eight months and almost seven days. As it seems the careful Doc's presence has little impact on past history (until 1955 when his DeLorean is unearthed), this timeline is nearly identical to Timeline 2 with Timeline 6.

  • Thursday, January 1st: Dr. Emmett Brown accidentally arrives from Timeline 6. Stranded in the past, he sets up as a blacksmith in Hill Valley.^[12]
  • Saturday, July 4th: Doc passes out after drinking one shot of whiskey at the 4th of July celebrations.
  • Saturday, August 29th: There is a meeting of the townspeople over who will pick up the new schoolteacher on the 4th. Doc volunteers.
  • Tuesday, September 1st: Doc buries the broken DeLorean time machine in the Delgado mine.^[12] He writes a letter to be delivered personally by Western Union to Marty McFly on November 12th 1955 at exactly 10 p.m. to the exact stretch of road he was floating above when he was struck by lightning.
  • Friday, September 4th: Doc picks up Clara Clayton. It is love at first sight. Unknowingly, Doc also prevents Clara's death that day, and Shonash Ravine is never renamed Clayton Ravine in her memory.
  • Saturday, September 5th: The Hill Valley festival. A photographer takes a portrait of Doc posing next to the new courthouse clock (this photo is discovered by Marty and young Doc in 1955 at the library). While Doc dances with Clara, Buford Tannen shoots him in the back.
  • Monday, September 7th: Doc dies of the bullet wound Tannen caused, and is buried in Boot Hill Cemetery.

  • Saturday, November 12th:
    • In this timeline there are now four instances of the DeLorean present simultaneously (the one Marty brought here to create Timeline 2, the one Biff brought here to create Timeline 4, the one Doc and Marty brought to create Timeline 6, and finally the one that Doc hid in the past after he created Timeline 7)
    • Shortly before 10 p.m., a vehicle driven by a Western Union agent arrives at the entrance to Lyon Estates. The agent delivers to Marty, on time at that specified location, in the pouring rain, the letter Doc dispatched in 1885.
    • At approximately 10:04 p.m., lightning having just struck the clocktower, Marty scares the young Doc by "returning" on foot seconds after Doc sent the younger Marty back to the future. Doc utters "Great Scott!" and suddenly faints. Marty drives the unconscious Doc back to his house in Doc's car.
  • Sunday, November 13th:
    • Young Doc reads the soggy old letter his 30-year-older self wrote seventy years in the past.
  • Monday, November 14th: Marty and Doc uncover the damaged DeLorean—the hover conversion has been destroyed—along with 1950s-technology-compatible repair instructions and Doc's walkie talkie, from the Delgado mine near Boot Hill Cemetery, where the older Doc Brown was buried in 1885. As fate would have it, they also find Doc's grave and learn about Buford Tannen. Marty insists on going back to 1885 to rescue his friend; so they elect to photograph the headstone, as it will serve as a “ripple-effect” indicator of Marty’s success in 1885.
  • Tuesday, November 15th: Doc repairs the unearthed DeLorean, using tubes as well as early transistors in conjunction with the fusion reactor to provide time-travel capability. He fills the gas tank, and also installs fresh (oversized) batteries on the walkie talkies.
  • Wednesday, November 16th: Marty leaves 1955 and heads back to 1885 to rescue Doc. This act initiates the ultimate timeline, Timeline 8. Young Doc, with tangible secret foreknowledge, remains behind, leaving the timeline undisturbed. He waits the necessary three decades until he may build the DeLorean/time vehicle, and avoids further contact with the McFlys until the 1980s as outlined above (Timeline 1 and Timeline 2).

Timeline 8

This timeline comes into existence when Marty arrives in 1885, to try to prevent the events that lead to Doc's death in Timeline 7 at the hands of Buford Tannen. It is this timeline in which Doc and Marty appear for most of BTTF Part III. It is also the final timeline depicted in the trilogy, as the DeLorean will no longer travel backwards in time. Since Marty chooses not to race Needles upon his return to 1985, the future is changed once again, and the alternate futures Doc and Marty have experienced in Timeline 2 and Timeline 3 are erased by this timeline. Note: Two DeLoreans exist in this timeline for five days in 1885, from September 2nd when Marty arrived, until September 7th when he departed for 1985.

1880s

• 1885
  • Wednesday, September 2nd: Marty McFly arrives in 1885 to rescue Doc from impending doom. Marty rips the fuel line on the time machine, while escaping Native American Horseback-archers, who were on the run from the Federal Forces, leaving the DeLorean with no fuel at all. He later meets his ancestors Seamus and Maggie McFly, and assumes the name Clint Eastwood.
  • Thursday, September 3rd: Marty runs into Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, great grandfather of Biff Tannen, and upsets him, causing Tannen to nearly hang Marty. Doc saves Marty in time. Marty informs Doc of his impending death involving Clara Clayton and Buford Tannen. Aware that he will fall in love with Clara Clayton and worried about changing his future, Doc decides not to pick her up, as he has already volunteered to do five days ago.
  • Friday, September 4th: Doc tries repairing the DeLorean, and accidentally saves the life of Clara Clayton anyway. It is love at first sight.
  • Saturday, September 5th: The Hill Valley festival. Doc and Marty have a photograph taken, posing next to the new courthouse clock (this photo is given to Marty in 1985 by Doc at the spot where the DeLorean was destroyed by a locomotive near Eastwood Ravine). While Doc and Clara dance, Buford Tannen tries to shoot Doc, but Marty interferes and saves him. He then checks his photograph from 1955, and gets a shock. The future of timeline 8 in which Doc is killed is replaced by one in which Marty, aka “Clint Eastwood”, is likely to be killed.
  • Sunday, September 6th: Doc and Marty prepare to go back to the future. Doc says goodbye to Clara and tells her the truth, but she doesn't believe him. They part on poor terms.
  • Monday, September 7th:
    • Marty has a showdown scheduled with Tannen; Marty and Doc are ready to escape through the back door when Tannen calls Marty "yellow". Marty still decides not to face Tannen, showing an incredible amount of growth from a mere day earlier, and is about to walk away when Tannen's gang gets ahold of Doc and threatens to shoot him.
    • Marty then decides to face Tannen, and survives due to a trick learned from the Clint Eastwood movie A Fistful of Dollars (which was being watched by Biff in 1985A, in timeline 5). Again Marty checks the photo he has brought, and is relieved (the tombstone disappears from the picture completely). The future of timeline 8 in which Marty is killed is replaced by one in which both Doc and Marty survive.
    • Meanwhile, Clara Clayton, on a train bound for San Francisco, overhears a passenger talking about the heartsick Doc Brown; her belief restored, she stops the train and jumps off to find Doc. She discovers clues at the blacksmith shop and rides on horseback towards the spur line Doc and Marty are using. She must reach Doc before he vanishes forever.
    • Doc and Marty are using a hijacked train's locomotive to push the DeLorean up to 88 mph toward Shonash Ravine so they may both go back to the future (1985). Marty succeeds in doing so, but Doc, who has gone to Clara's rescue on the accelerating locomotive, and Clara are forced to stay behind. Doc now has the hoverboard and one of the walkie talkies. Since "Clint" was observed stealing the engine, and is presumed to have gone down with it, he enters the town's folklore as the man who beat Mad Dog Tannen, and Shonash Ravine is renamed Eastwood Ravine.
  • Tuesday, December 15th: Doc and Clara are married.
• 1887
  • Date unknown: Doc and Clara's elder son, Jules, is born.
• 1888
  • Monday, October 29th: Doc and Clara's younger son, Verne, is born.

    • Marty McFly returns from 1885 at 11 a.m., and the stopped DeLorean is almost immediately demolished head-on by a diesel locomotive approaching the Eastwood Ravine Bridge in the opposite direction. Marty escapes. He returns home to see everything is back to normal (as per Timeline 2). He then drives over to check on his sleeping sweetheart. She is just as Doc predicted.
    • In a virtuosic display of uncharacteristic self-restraint, Marty decides not to race Needles, and avoids crashing into a Rolls Royce, thus erasing the future experienced in Timeline 2. Jennifer surprises Marty with a fax she retrieved from 2015 in that very timeline, and as it “ripples” into a blank sheet of paper, she discovers the hidden truth about time travel, exclaiming: “It erased!” Marty takes her to see the remains of the DeLorean.
    • Doc, Clara and their sons arrive at Marty’s crash site in their time locomotive to briefly check up on Marty and Jennifer, and to retrieve Doc's dog, Einstein. Jennifer and Marty show Doc the blank fax, and he dispenses some sound advice about its significance. The Brown family departs for times and places unknown.
