I don't know if someone mentioned this before me, but i had to wonder though
The movie that was made in 2009 blown up my mind after changing everything we know about the star trek Saga starting with the original and ending up with Voyager
Throw out all the star trek saga when it get's about time travel they always fight as hardest as they can to change everything back to what it was.
but it wasn't the case with the movie of 2009
Dose the distraction of the Vulcan planet means that everything we grow up with in the star trek Saga just simply bin erased?

I don't mind the idea of a mad time traveler goes to destroy the Vulcan planet
but it should've bin a sequel movie not a prequel that changes everything we know
All that Hollywood really care about theses days is their special effects even if it means destroying the entire Show.
I feel so bad about it
Star trek R.I.P :(
 
No, it has been stated repeatedly before. According to the producers themselves, the Narada and the Jellyfish's time travel created a new timeline. The prime timeline remains intact as a parallel plane of existence.

OH I see
in this case that's ok with me :)
 
What exactly happen to the original (prime) timeline is hard to say given what was presented on screen

Did the original get "over-written" by Nero's (and later Spock's) arrival in the past? Star Trek has depicted timelines being basically erased before. In City on the Edge of Forever, McCoy's actions in the past didn't simply create an alternate timeline, the original was (according to the Guardian) "gone."

In the JJ Abrams movies, once the Narada and the Jellyfish leave the original there is no connection and no communication with the original.

Hard to say if it's still there.

:)
 
The original time line still exists.

It is available from Paramount Home Media Distribution at your local retailer.

The producers claim that the TNG episode "Parallels" justifies their reasoning that the prime reality still exists even though "Parallels" doesn't feature time travel. The 2011 DTI novel Watching the Clock, which ties together temporal physics in both canon and non-canon Star Trek, picks up on this and explains that time-traveling via a black hole is a "one-way exchange of quantum information" - the time travelers end up in a parallel reality to their own and thus change history of a different timeline. And the current IDW comic arc, The Q Gambit, supervised by Roberto Orci, features Q explicitly saying that the Abramsverse and the prime reality coexist and then proceeding to travel to the latter.

So as I see it, Star Trek 2009 sets a precedent in Star Trek by having time travel which doesn't "erase" the "old" timeline.
 
Both universes still exist but the audience have now become the observer of the 2009+ era timeline, and if and when Trek productions are made in the future, we will see other separate realities (reboots). All of them "exist" in Trek's own terms, within the one multiverse.

If you want an in-universe explanation.

Since the question has been answered to the OP's satisfaction, and since it pretty much duplicates the "Goodbye Prime..." thread, I'm closing this one. :)
