Working Title: Ripple Effect Proof Memory: From YKTTW
Lenoxus: Isn't this basically a Justified Trope for the time travelers themselves? If I go back in time and change things, I automatically acquaint myself with two different timelines, and it takes no Hand-Waving for me to "know" that history was changed, right? It actually takes more Hand-Waving to say that my memory was fully or partially "overwritten". (The "me" I'm talking about is the one who went time-traveling, not the one who was born in the altered universe.)
