Ok, we've found out that since Doc had the letter when Marty came
back to the future that he also had it before Marty went into the past,
because of that Doc never was in danger of dying.
Also the reason it took Doc thirty years to remember what he had a vision
about, the time travel device (something flux, flux something) is because
Doc was jolted by a bolt of lighting (and had "short term memory" amnesia)
trying to get Marty back into the future.
Let's look at the changes the took place, because of Marty presence
in the past he interacts with his will be parents in such a way that he has
to get them to back together. By doing this he turns his family into 80's
"yuppies". The change seems to have affected everyone in his family accept
him. Wouldn't the changes "flow" up the time stream and include
EVERYONE in the changes? (cause a time paradox that would iron itself out).
i.e. Because he changed the past, he changes the future in such a way that
he never becomes involved with Doc, never travels to the past, and never
messes up the future. So turned thing out as they should have in the first
place.
Also I think near the ending Marty and Doc should have thought about trying
to fix things in the future because it will in turn change the future
in respect to them when they travel to the future. So they end up traveling
forever forward in time trying to correct mistakes that will magnify as they
go along.
