I really like it, but wan to echo some confusion. It seems like the orange line should go up and curve back down, but should not include a loop there, unless they are actually circling in time there (the notes don't imply this).
It think the confusion about the numbering is that they aren't absolute values, but rather relative to the time travelers themselves. The numbers represent their own perception of the passing of time. This is why the zero point where they begin their time travel matches to their arrival 40 units in the past. (There is an implication here that the time travel is instantaneous for them. Is this correct?) Another point of confusion comes from the fact that the timelines are not scaled linearly, and so correlations between the lines at horizontal points are inaccurate. (more in next post.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
