I was watching once again dragon ball Z and while i was watching the androids and cell saga, i found something a bit interesting, when trunks timetraveled to the past and change the past , the two universes got split up, therefore the universe of future trunks is a totally separate universe to the present universe, therefoere even if he changed the events of the present, he didnt modify his own universe.

Also there's also another interesting fact when trunks uses the time machine to travel to the past and comes back he doesnt seem to come back to his own timeline right after he left but rather if he spent 5 days in the past, when he comes back to his own future universe after 5 days too, so whenever he timetravels to the past and spends a certain time in the past he also seems to come back after that gap of time passed on his timeline, the way i came up with this is by watching future bulma's reaction after trunks comes back to his own timeline, and she seems to have missed trunks and if trunks came back right after he left then there shouldnt be any reason for future bulma to miss him, so if bulma missed him that means trunks wasnt around for sometime and didnt come back right after he left but he came back sometime after he left and that gap of time seems to be a little long like the time he spent in the present.

Do you agree? Discuss

Well it would make sense. By doing that it erases the conundrum of aging. So if you spend 30 years in the past when you go back you will have aged appropriately as to not cause any paradoxes

So you are saying Trunks went to past, created a parallel universe and then went back? Makes sense, also this would mean you can't undo anything or travel freely through time, time always keeps moving ahead and the best you can do is create alternate realities(like trunks did) inside one same timeline.

Was it just an observation or do you intend to prove something from this observation ?

just an observation of something that i found worth mentioning from dbz besides their planet buster status that everyone talks about

Basically it's multiverse theory. I recommend this fan-made Dragon Ball manga.
