Time line
Initial storm fight where thrace remembers damage to ship that wasn’t
there — due to time travel
Thrace draws picture of eye of jupiter as a child, because she has
resurrected and having done so either has that memory implanted to
help herself remember her future destiny — or she has the technology
to resurrect in childbirth, literally being reborn as a child —
side-note: resurrection in the womb, downloading data directly into
fetus, very advanced technology, allowing for closer “mortal”
experience.
If starbuck didn’t resurrect in womb birth then there were two
Starbucks, what happened to the one without the memory implant?
……………………..
Starbuck lived a life on earth, smelled it etc, then something
happened, society crumbled — cylons and man killed one another, she
as human perhaps independently of the final five travels back in time,
which takes time because its an older technology, and as always with
human backward time travel results in two Starbucks, a younger and an
older — the older bringing the time traveler. Starbuck’s original
visit to earth was the result of time travel, which was faster than
the travel back in time, just because it was forward, with less
complications in the fabric of time space when moving forward, but the
technology is the same “old” technology.
Final five also lived on earth, and also conducted time travel back in
time to prevent the destruction of man. They tried this multiple
times, each loop ending unsuccessfully–but learning more and more
each time and coming closer and closer to saving mankind. They had
already learned that immortality leads to abuse of power and that
living their lives with knowledge of ressurection technology provided
the closest thing to a human experience, but also discover that just
like human time travel you lose memories of the future after time
travel back to the past because you are changing the future by your
vary existence. Given much trial and error they figure out that by
simply putting them selves at certain locations in the past, even
without memory of the future they could effect change — for instance
by arranging things such that they all end up on the galactica, they
end up saving the remaining human fleet (because the Raiders see them)
during a battle that otherwise went the other way and the humans all
died.
The hybrids that fly the cylon base stations being half human half
machine retain memory of all the loops, but are understood as speaking
jib bearish because no one else “sees and remembers” past loops. Their
ability is a byproduct of the jump technology being crossed with a
human mind, most people and cylons just believe they are insane. They
originally came from the centurion and packed with the earlier final
five attempts to stop the war, the final five arrived and offered them
help with creating bodies, the raiders and the base stars where the
first advances in this area — but later ressurection ships started
time travel (originally the cylons took generations to travel back in
time, later on they (the oldest) were able to do it in no time at all,
by combining jump drives with time travel ( the newest time travel
techology) to speed up the time it takes to travel back in time.
