Of course the incalculable 'future' timelines exist and always have, because if they were reliant on a choice being
chosen, it would be only then that the possible timeline would 'come into being'.
That would mean the timeline that is occurring due to that choice and so in a manner of thinking, the timeline is
subjected to its existence on a standard 'all-user' timeline and ergo, non-existent before the choice.
If the timeline didn't exist until the selection of that timeline, then in theory the future doesn't exist and if the future
doesn't exist, then the caveman's future -or my present, which involves anyone and everything that exists before I
was born at the precise moment I was, never was!
It's a prime example that shows the past, the present and the future is available in 'one place' or form.
Indeed, and that would mean that every single one of us could change the entire universe for every OTHER single one of us several times a day by such simple acts as deciding on bacon instead of sausage for breakfast in a sort of "butterfly" effect - you know, "a butterfly flaps it's wings in the Amazon, disturbing air currents which propagate and intensify from latent energy in the atmosphere until a hurricane is created off the coast of Africa, moves west, and wipes out Florida" sort of effect.
NO decision is without consequences, but with an infinity of timelines, those decisions are moderated for the rest of the universe, which has it's own decisions to make, and other timelines to follow. That was why Titor estimated a "2% divergence" between his own timeline and ours, whether he was real or fake, he was at least a showman who thought it out well! I don't think anyone has figured out how he arrived at the percentage divergence comment, though. When you have an entire universe to factor in, how do you calculate percentages?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
