.............So, a Time Remnant is basically when a speedster goes to another time period (e.g. past, future, alternate timeline, etc) and causes two of him to be in the same time period together, right? And speedsters don't need to worry about dying in the past or whatever because the Speed Force protects them from paradoxes in order to make sure the entire timeline stays intact without any changes. This is because speedsters in the future may get involved in time-travel which could have changed some stuff in the timeline, and if they didn't have their past immune to changes with the protection of the Speed Force, something might happen to them in the past which might affect their future actions (e.g. not time-travelling which will make some events that were supposed to happen cease from existance, creating a different future because originally, the timeline had those events).

That's why the Speed Force makes a speedster's past immune to any changes so that the effects and consequences of a speedster's time-travelling will stay intact and will stay that way without anything to change what they did, hence, keeping the timeline just the way it is without anything to change it.

.............Did I understand it correctly? And also, could someone explain 'alternate timeline'? What does it mean when a speedster goes to an alternate timeline?
