re: If someone sent a gallon of water a nanosecond back in time - it would duplicate

At this time(the present) we are able to navigate in the 3 dimensions but are unable to navigate the fourth (time).

If time travel is possible BUT it creates new branches/timelines, and we have no proof of time travel, does that mean we're in a "stranded" original time line where time travel doesn't happen because the time travel actually happens in the new timelines?

No it wouldn't. You're not accounting for the fact that a nanosecond after the duplicate gallon appeared, a gallon disappears to go back in time.
Do less drugs.

I always thought the fourth dimension was color spectrum.

So that's how Uncle Scrooge has so many gold coins to swim in.

But by that logic, wouldn’t it just leave our past selves with double the water while our present selves would have no water at all? I mean, let’s say you took a fully stocked machine gun and sent it back to the crusaders. That machine gun wouldn’t duplicate to exist at both times simultaneously. It would be removed from our time and added to the past.
So in your example, we wouldn’t have the Pacific Ocean dropped on us; we’d be living in a desert! It would be an offshoot past branch of the timeline that would have the water surplus while we’d be left high and dry.

Even a pump that fast couldn't stop NOLA from flooding after a summer thunderstorm.

No, the Mandela effect is nothing more than common memory mistakes. Memories are rarely as accurate as you think they are. These can even be on a mass scale.

Not from the gallon’s perspective

This isn't that hard dude.
1 gallon of water cruising through time. Suddenly 1 gallon shows up, back from 1 nanosecond in the future.
Then our 1 gallon of water disappears 1 nanosecond into the past, where it meets its previous self. 1 nanosecond later, its previous self disappears into the past.
Again, do less drugs.
Or maybe more, whatever it takes to get you to understand.

Apparently it is
1. 1 Gallon to Start at Time A going back to Time B
2. Back in time A, as you go to place the gallon on the machine, there will already be a Gallon from Time B as you are placing the gallon in Time A to go back to Time B - because it was there in the past where you placed it
3. Now Time A has become Time A' with a gallon from the past already there as you place the present gallon in the machine.
4. This creates Time A'' with two gallons already there. One from the original Time B that you sent and a second from Time B'
Etc Etc
It creates a duplication if other timelines aren't created.

Thanks for clarifying.

My math shows 5929 years assuming there are 187 quintillion gallons in the Pacific Ocean

For you.
There is no time A'
quote:

There are already 2 gallons when you arrive at time A. because one already entered the past (time B) from the future (Time A)
Do I have to MSpaint a timeline for you?

Your graph discounts the paradox of the past already existing in place if you change it
If I send you back to 1 minute ago from point A to be in the same room next to me at point B…you will be standing at point B in the present as I am sending you back from point A
In other words, at the very moment I go to send you back to point B from point A, you would have already been at point B as well because that already happened in the past…
Creating a paradox where you are standing at Point A in the present to be sent back but also at Point B because it already happened in the past
Keep doing that and the paradox multiplies

Mine did to, just forget to multiply the 570 x 18
