I agree perfectly with what the guy before me said about an alternate earth.  It is all about the theory of parrallel universes and time paradoxes...here's an example:

A time traveler bulids a time machine that will let him travel back in time and then retun back.  No lets say that he decieds to kill his own mother (or father)...and that there is no mystical force holding him back from performing this deed.  Because the time traveler killed his own mother, that would mean that the time traveler would have never been born.  However...because the time traveler was never born, his mother lives and has a child ( which is of cousre the time traveler ).  The time traveler of course kills the mother...and this keeps on going on ( and is known as a parodox cause it can't be solved ).  This is one reason why it is believed time travel is not possible. However, lets say that the time traveler returns to the present, if it is possible to do this, then there may be the possibility of parrallel universes.  Now if the time travelller returns... no one would knows of the existance of the time traveler at all ( becasue the mother was murdured ).  But this universe is actually a parrallel universe of the universe where the time traveler left and never returned...

maybe you are getting lost, but the point is that there are parallel universe...and that our universe that we live in may be a "fake" universe of the "real" universe in which apes are the intelligent life and that these two universes have the exact same history.

Of cousrse this does not explain for the "choas theory" which is that even the slightest change in the past will cause extremely varied results.  Lets say I go into the past and kill a mosquito.  But it turs out that that mosquito carried a deadly diese and infected a major scientest that invented somthing like a nuclear bomb...everythign would be way different.  

Another problem with what I said is that in the movie...the clock in marky's pod went forward in time...not back...and my explination is that Marky travel back in time.  However, i still believe that Marky originally traveled back in time regardless of what the clcok said.  I believe that the clock changed not because the time changed but because of electromagnetic disturbalnces originating from the space storm.  I believe this because if the time displayed in the pod changed, then why didn't Marky get old and die inside of the ship... The clock is not consistinant with this.  Therefore...it may be that instead of traveling forward in time to another planenet...Marky acutalls travels back in time to prehistoric Earth!  I could go on and on...but i'm going to stop.  If you feel intereseted in this stuff you can look on the internent for "time paradoxes".
