Back to the Future is an awesome trilogy, one of my favourites, I just watched it last week :)
Terminator and Aliens are great too.

Let's assume for a moment that time travel were possible, at least in the way expounded in the trilogy. Here's an old essay of mine worth digging out again. http://mattbrundage.com/random/essay.php

Great essay, Matt. Unfortunately, that's just the start of the confusion. The paradoxes are everywhere. In Back to the Future 3, which begins the scene in 1955, Doc Brown is looking up historical information about himself from the local library. Question is, if Doc Brown went back to 1885, lived the remaining years of his life, and obviously died well before 1955, how come the 1955 Doc Brown is still living? How many Doc Brown's are there? How could one have died, and one be living?
And even though the 1885 Doc Brown died, and the 1955 Doc Brown is still living, why does Marty need to go back to 1885 to save Doc, when Doc is already living in 1955!?
I could go on, but everything gets kinda pointless after a while.

Hey! This is not about Apple!
Regarding the non-existence of past/future, however, I concur.
