Yo Bombers! 
 
This is something I've been wanting to make for a long time now. Back to the Future is one of my favorite films of all time. Yes, I know that a lot of people have made these already, but I wanted to make one with the different timelines and descriptions for each one plus a neat design!  ;) 
 
Doc explains in the movies that whenever a person time travels to the past and alters key-events, he deletes his timeline and a new timeline is created. 

Ripple effect explanation: Whenever a person travels back in time and changes things in the past, things and people in the future may change. Because of this, the people in the future are sent to the new timeline that the person travelling back in time created.     
 
If you're interested, this is available as a Print. :)

If I've made any spelling and/or grammatical errors, please tell me!   
 

That's cool stuff, man!

I'm into this, nice work

Great Scott! This is heavy...

Man this only makes me want BttF Episode 3 more, when the hell is it out? 
 
Really nice timeline you came up with

Wow, that's really neat, good job.
 
The only thing that really confused me about the series when I watched it was how Future Marty was in 2015 when Present Marty left 1985 to go to 2015 (wouldn't he have been missing the whole time etc., and newly created timelines hurt my head).

Dude nice. I played through episode two of the BTTF game yesterday and was trying to find a way to visualize a chart of the alternate timelines. I think we can all agree the crappy one Doc drew in the movies could use some modern power-pointery.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it! :)

What happens to the characters in the previous timelines after they have left and made new timelines? I mean those timelines still exist in their own parallel universes, don't they? 
 
Like, does Marty's family from timeline 1 eventually register him as a missing person? Or does the ripple effect "overwrite" the original timelines?

This is awesome.  
 
I bought the trilogy on Blu-Ray recently, and one of the special features is the filmmakers answering questions about how the timeline is laid out. Some people get confused by it, but the way they explain everything makes it seem pretty simple.

" @MrKlorox: Whenever someone travels to the past and alters anything (which is bound to happen), the previous timeline ends and a new one is created. So therefore, there isn't a George McFly in 1985 in timeline 1 searching for his lost son. "

This is where it all falls apart for me. How can there still be a Delorean in the games if they take place after the movies without individual universe permanence. I mean, yes they haven't released all of the episodes yet, but I still can't figure out how there's still that same Delorean at the beginning of Episode 1 after it gets destroyed at the end of Part 3. I'm sure Telltale has an incredibly twisty story ready, but unless Doc did something with the machine before he tested it with Marty in the parking lot, alternate universe permanence is the only solution I can think of. "

" @Twilight:  It shows up outside Doc's place with Einstein inside it (something about an automatic failsafe) along with a tape recorder and a shoe right after the second scene in 1985. Or is it 86 by then...?  They were offering Episode 1 free on the telltale site if you used the coupon code 121GIGAWATTS some time back. Not sure if that's still going on though. Either way it's totally worth the $25 bones for the season, judging by the first two episodes. I'm totally hooked on the story now. "

got one thing wrong, Doc doesn't stay in 1885 - he travels forward to 1985 in his "train-machiene" to show Marty and Jennifer he and Clara are okay and that they have kids, also gives him a photo as a "souvenir"

When Doc was struck by lightning in 1955, it sent him 70 years into the past to 1985. But it also created a duplicate DeLorean, sending it 70 years into the future to 2025. On one of his trips to the future, he came across and recovered the duplicate DeLorean. He probably had to replace the flying circuits, but since he was in the future anyway that probably wasn't a problem. He also added the automatic retrieval feature, allowing the DeLorean to return to 1986 to get Marty's help if Doc ended up in trouble.
 
Why was a duplicate DeLorean created? Well, he couldn't take one of the DeLoreans from the past, or it could cause a paradox. So the writers made this happen instead. That's what you get for overthinking time travel. I hope you're all happy with yourselves.

This is pretty rad.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! :)
