The model would allow many timelines, hence would allow some sort of timetravel (at least in principle). 'mechanism' is apparently meant in connection to 'time-machine'. But I have not built such a device, nor planning to do so. BTW: physics is science and engineering is not. Building a time-machine would belong to engineering. TH
