How does someone jump through time? Is it a mental command? Is it a contraption they build? Is is a Delorean? Is it an alchemical concoction? Is it a portal?...

It's like the Transporter in Star Trek, but just like that technology, it raises questions. Why destroy the original? You may just project a copy of yourself into whichever place and time you are travelling.

What happens when you go back in time? Do you end up in the same spot you would be, only 600 years in the past? Do you rewind time until you're an infant?...

You can only travel back to the time of the invention of the technology (1993), though there are theoretical possibilities for using naturally occurring singularities. Your travel forward is only limited by your power supply...

Does a paradox prevent you from even existing? Do you solidify within a physical structure that occupies the space that you appear in? Is another dimension created where all the things you do will affect the future, meanwhile your old dimension continues on without you?
Can you travel between those dimensions?
What happens when you go forward in time? Do you occupy the body you would have, only older? Do you replicate and see a double of yourself?

All possibilities of coutcomes to all uncertain events creates infinitely intricate dimensional threads. Reading one of these as a timeline is the focus of a singular consciousness. Perceiveing aspects of alternate threads from the prime locus of the singular consciousness is what we're talking about here. The thread of "reality" in question is what it is, even with you added. There is nothing to "change". Your thread of origin is not affected...

Time travel, being a fictional thing, is very subjective. What do you imagine happening if it could?

Maybe not so fictional as you imagine...
