Time is not a single line. It is many lines, constantly splitting and converging. For as long as the premise of time has been speculated, society has run on the hypothesis of cause to effect - the idea that a single action can contribute to producing any number of results.

Perhaps our perception of the instance that is 'now' is derived not from the actions of the past but the conclusions that lie in the inescapable future?
