And handled properly means..?  Is there a correct way?  Can there be a
correct way?

I can think of a couple of suggestions though:

i) Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time (Morphail Effect)
ii) Julian May's Pliocene saga works very excellently and logically
iii) Greg Bear's Eon is OK (although the Pi-meter is very silly)
iv) Zelazny's Amber handles time travel differently (alternate universes,
which is a viable possibility based on quantum mechanics)
