Well, Doc did send Einstein to the future - which eventually became the present, as Doc and Marty arrived there 'normally'.

What i want to know is what happend to Marty that travels to 1955 in the end of BTTF1?
From his view point his present is alot different from the Marty at the start of the movie, so did he travel back to 1955 and change things more? To him Biff was just a person that worked for his dad, he be shocked at how Biff was to his dad and might do things differently and when he then goes back to the 1985 wouldnt he replace the Marty that we actually seen during the whole movie?
Or would Marty just have 2 different time lines memorys in his head?

I always assumed that Marty 2 (for lack of a better term) would have simply repeated the same events that Marty Alpha went through. At least that seemed to be the intention, everything happened exactly as it did the first time around.
Nope. The time-travel in BTTF doesn't work that way. Saying he goes back and "does what he is supposed to do" suggests a "predestination paradox." But since his past is based on our Marty's involvement he should be able to go back and see what "really happened" with this deal concerning "Biff and this guy we knew helping us get together." (I know Lorraine didn't say that but that's likely the "full story" they've told their kids all along.)
So he should arrive in 1955 ontop of himself/our Marty.
^ Then you're suggesting there are actually three Marty's. Marty Prime, Marty Beta that he watches go into 1955 and a third Marty. I think this thread is starting to become silly now and over thinking and nitpicking things now.
