 Time Remnant

 I think I have understood it after reading an explanation in the internet, but I’m not sure if my understanding is correct. If you understand a time remnant correctly and how The Flash scriptwriters intended it to be, please check if my understanding is correct below. I don’t really get Dr. Well’s explanation in Episode 11 where Reverse-Flash suddenly came back.

 1.Reverse-Flash from the future travels back to the past, hoping to kill Flash.

 2.Reverse-Flash dies in Flash’s present time.

 3.This means that Reverse-Flash doesn’t exist in the future, which causes a destructive singularity due to a change of events in the present time that will affect and alter the future.

 4. The singularity’s purpose is to cause destruction and alter events in Flash’s present time, and also erase Reverse-Flash’s original future (since he died in the present time) to create a new future timeline.

 5.However, Flash and Firestorm stopped and closed the singularity before the singularity could erase Reverse-Flash’s original future. The singularity was only able to change some stuff in Flash’s present time, but it didn’t have time to change the future because it was closed before it could do that.

 6.What the singularity was able to do in the present time is erase the part where Reverse-Flash time-travelled back in time. So now in the present time, Reverse-Flash didn’t even come. That part doesn’t exist anymore because the singularity made that event cease from existence. Reverse-Flash wasn’t in any part of the present time due to the change.

 7.Basically, the singularity removed the event that Reverse-Flash time-travelled to the present time. But Reverse-Flash’s original future remains intact without any changes because the singularity was closed before it could do that.

 8.This means that in the present time, Reverse-Flash didn’t time-travel from the future. YET.

 9.Now in Reverse-Flash’s future, he has only PLANNED to time-travel to the past. He hasn’t done it YET because the fact that he already time-travelled was completely erased from existence. So to him, when he time-travels to the past to defeat Flash, it will be his FIRST TIME.

 10.In Season 2 Episode 11, Reverse-Flash thinks that that is his first time to time-travel to defeat Flash, although that is actually his second time.

 11.Flash’s present time and Reverse-Flash’s future are connected, so when the singularity removed the event that Reverse-Flash time-travelled in the present time, the same thing happens in the future. In the future time, the event that Reverse-Flash from the future time-travelled didn’t happen YET. But he has planned it, and in Episode 11, he time-travelled to Flash’s present time, which he thinks it’s his first time, because his actual first time was erased from the timeline.

 12.The Reverse-Flash in Episode 11 is a TIME REMANT.

 ………………………………………….So, what do you think? Is this correct? If I got it wrong, please explain it to me in an easy and simple way using point form, like what I did. Thank you very much.  </ac_metadata>
