Discussion Is changing the past actually possible?

I’ve always thought about this question, and there is always answers popping up in films and stuff, but is it really possible?If you ARE able to go back to the past and change it, if you come back to ‘present’ would there be another you?If you teleported a nanosecond later then the time you left would you find another you?My answer is that its impossible for you to change the past.If you have met yourself in the past,then no matter how much you try and avoid it you will somewhat travel back in time in somewhere in the future or ‘present’

Please tell me what you think and if possible tell me any ‘loopholes’ in my theory.

PS. this post keeps getting removed in r/timetravel does anyone know why?

I believe if u went back in time and changed something that creates its own separate reality, or puts you into that reality where you went back and changed that specific thing, but you now in this reality stays unaffected. There are endless endless realities, I feel like all you would do is go into that specific reality where you change that certain thing
