By that reasoning, the real you died years ago.
A great 20th century philosopher once said "I yam what I yam" which just about covers all my thoughts on the subject completely, and yet I continue...

So yeah, in Star Trek, I BELIEVE (which is not necessarily the truth) that temporal duplicates are real persons who are all still the originals of themselves, who are not copies or dupicates. No one was duplicated, they all got pulled out of their mothers or what ever happens when real men are off playing golf, and lived an exemplary life of an individual no matter how many times that life has been closely mirrored across an infinite amount of Universes.
By that reasoning, the real you died years ago.
Was Seven integrated with all the Seven of Nine corpses that failed her mission before she showed up?
^I think I heard somewhere that about every seven years the body is replaced by the food one consumes.

Possibly, but that still leaves a tangent Seven that lived.
Why would Libby wait for him?I can easily imagine Harry arriving back home after "Endgame", and being rewarded with lieutenant junior grade pins. Outraged by this slight instead of the full lieutenant he thinks he deserves, he curses all the assembled bigwigs, then gets demoted to crewman. Libby winds up marrying Daniel Byrd.
Lieutenant Commander Tom Paris comes to visit him every other month at the New Zealand Rehabilitation Facility, if he has the time.
Ask the writers who spent months writing novels where she waited for him. For me, it was just an afterthought after 2 seconds as a way to use Daniel Byrd's name, since he had taken Harry's place on Voyager in "Non Sequitur". I've already spent more time thinking about it for this reply than I did in the earlier post, and it was just part of a joke. It was the last thing I thought of for that post.Why would Libby wait for him?

Seven years seems like an awfully long time to wait for someone that may not be back for a couple of decades still, if ever, considering that without old Janeway's intervention that's how long it would have taken.
That or she was hesitant to hurt his feelings. After all he never says anything about getting other kinds of letters from her.Ask the writers who spent months writing novels where she waited for him.

Starfleet learned that the ship was in the Delta Quadrant during Season 4's "Message in a Bottle". So word got to families then. Harry never got a Dear John letter like Janeway did, so Libby must not have found anyone better than Harry.
It's also possible Libby just didn't feel like telling him. As someone who had had a fair share of summer flings, sometimes you just don't tell the ex that there's someone new, because you don't intend to try to continue the relationship regardless. I've been on both sides of this.
Cheers, Guy. Those sort of time travel stories always tickle me and this one made excellent use of limited film making resources as well.Well it all depends if I'm still connected to me.
The older me could have been trapped in that situation already with the older me when he was the younger me.
Happens all the time.

(17 minutes, but hilarious.)
BTW, the Earth moves much faster than that. He should have been hundreds of miles away, if not in outer space or somewhere inside the Earth itself. If we are to follow the logic of this little opus.
Just as an example: The Earth orbits the Sun at about twenty miles a second, if you go back in time say one minute you should land about 1200 miles from your point of origin.

Fair enough, but since its just a narrative excuse for the protagonist to end up X number of meters away (and the overall story is strong) I'm prepared to ignore that little scientific faux pas![]()
