I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face to face with herself 30 years older would put her into shock and she’d simply pass out. Or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that’s a worse case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.

Unbelievable, that old Biff could have chosen that particular date. It could mean that that Point in Time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the temporal junction point for the entire Space-Time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.
