I've got an idea for a fantasy/sci-fi sort of series, and whilst I prefer to keep my ideas secret until they're complete this one does require a little feedback from people who understand the bullshit science that sci-fi is built on. So, here goes.
The multiverse is infinitely expanding. With each new divergence from the baseline (our own Universe) it continue to grow, Earth alone produces trillions of divergences every hour. With that in mind it should be noted that time travel within one's own universe is impossible. Your arrival in the past fundamentally alters the state of that universe, thus creating a divergence from the instant of your arrival. It may appear identical but whatever you went back to divert in your own universe is still going to occur, all you are doing is creating a new universe from which your actions will create many more.
But there is still a way. A small cluster of universes along the central finite curve. Time and space on these worlds were badly damaged due to human fuckery, fortunately the universal fail safe came into play. The afflicted universes globbed (think melting a bunch of play dough together) and on them time and space became layered. The result is a vast plain of worlds where time does not move and every instant from creation to the Crisis exists in perpetuity. A person can travel a million years backwards in a few steps, from there it should be relatively easy to enter your desired universe. Considering you somehow got into the cluster in the first place that should be no problem.
There are two types of time. Linear, in which we live, and background, in which a time traveler moves. When stepping through the multiverse you travel through linear time and every second passes as if you were walking down the street. To travel through time itself however you need to access the background. To do this time travel needs to be created in the first place linear time, since you cannot travel through time until time travel is invented, or more simply something cannot happen until it happens.
But when you're in the cluster both time, space, and the multiverse are not working exactly as they should. If you wander around and stop at random, and then step into a different universe, you are stepping from whatever time you were standing in into it's equivalent in the other universe. It's like resetting the time on your phone and making an app think that 24 hours has passed, a universal glitch.
Okay hopefully this has been understood, currently I've though up a couple of plot holes whilst writing this. If you want any extra details feel free to ask, I was just worried about cluttering the first post up.
