If a person travels through time, is he infinite?

[Sneaky lurker]

Let's assume a random guy gets a hold of a time machine. It doesn't matter where in time he travels to, just that he does use it to visit another point in time. Before he traveled, he could have made infinite choices on where to go. If other versions of himself in different timelines have the same liberty and make different choices, each of them just created more versions of themselves in different timelines where they made another choice. The same logic applies to any point in time where they continue to own and use the time machine.
If you were a lifeform in a superior dimension and you looked down to the 4th, would you see infinite versions of this guy proliferating nonstop across time, like bacteria?
What if you wanted to kill him? End his life in one timeline and at any point one of his infinite iterations could just pop in. And no action you take will ever matter, because at one point he had a time machine, and his decision to use it once initiated an infinite cascade of himself through time. How do you kill this motherfucker?
What does God think of this?

So I assume this is written from the point of view that each travel through time creates a new timeline where the time traveler makes a different decision on where to go. As opposed to just fucking up or fixing the same timeline like in Back To the Future. What you are describing is similar to John Titor and his worldlines. He said he cannot change his past because of the fact that you will no return to your worldline. Merely messing a bit with the timeline changes it. Much like how you cannot observe wildlife without affecting it in some way. Even putting a trail camera out is a form of interference with the environment. So just traveling to another time changes something by virtue of you and your time machine being where you shouldn't be.

So if you had many John Titors in many worldlines all looking for IBM 5100s you would never be able to run into more than one per worldline. They would never all converge in one space because they literally can't. The many worlds interpretation means infinite realities and possibilities. If this is the case then your next time travel could be to a barren Earth that never harbored life or an Earth decimated by a major impact by an astral body. You also run the risk of appearing stuck in space because the Earth has an orbit and is not in the same place in the solar system all the time. Earth's wobble could also land you slightly off course.

But if you had a way to counteract the whole "popping up in the middle of space and dying" thing, then yes, our time traveler is technically infinite. But so is everyone else because of the many worlds interpretation.

I have no idea why I bothered writing this. It would have come out better if I wasn't battling inflamed sinuses.
