Quantum Physics as well as some studies on Alignment Theory aka String Theory indicate that every possible outcome of a particular situation happens simultaneously until you choose which path to take. Titor describes different "Worldlines" in his posts. A Worldline is a path of historical time, through spacetime.

Imagine you have a moment where you have to decide to save yourself or save someone else's life. Let's say for example that you save yourself. The other person COULD have potentially been the person who would have eventually cured cancer.

That "Worldline" that you are existing in, will now be different from the Worldline in which you had chosen to save the other person, a result of following various paths through spacetime. These "Worldlines" happen all the time, everywhere, with virtually unlimited variations and outcomes. An example of this in a smaller degree is the Butterfly Effect, however this is the Butterfly Effect across multiple timelines.

Titor explains that his "Worldline" may not be "Exactly" what ours is (or was when he was posting), but if most things were at least similar... similar outcomes would happen. Not 100% accurate, as his "History" may or may not be exactly what ours is, today.
