In the Wachowskis' (the directors of Matrix and V for Vendetta) Jupiter Ascending, a movie character explains to the protagonist how the most precious resource in the universe is time. Indeed, how endless it feels when experiencing tiresome situations and how it flies when enjoying chosen activities.

Time is not linear because there are infinite numbers of intertwining timelines good old Dr Who loved surfing so much in his TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) spacecraft resembling a British police telephone box. The following article chiefly provides food for thoughts and a reminder, even though, in some respects (you'll have to figure out for yourself), it may be difficult to grasp insomuch as it takes purely theoretical statements for recognised facts I will neither validate nor invalidate — still having both an open mind and reservations about the issue.

What are timelines and why do some predicted events come and go without the anticipated event ever happening?
