Sort of similar to the Great Filter theory, but applied to time travel technology.

Everyone is mentioning branching timeline of back to the future but the movie never follows that. Marty's parents are not getting together he ceases to exist. Biff brings book back and Marty goes right to that timeline. The movie is just cause and effect.

People bring it up because there is a scene in one of them where Doc Brown explains the branching timeline theory.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
