Dec 10, 2016 at 6:37 comment added sanpaco There is some specific wording in the movie to explain this but I don't remember it exactly. Basically the gist is that time is not linear so she can travel through time like one would through space but that doing so doesn't affect or change time. Compare it to moving through our own spacial dimension. Say for example you need to look up a word from a dictionary in your living room you walk into that room, get the info you need, and go back to wherever you came from. You don't change the house by doing so because you are only moving through it but not physically changing it.
