Don't assume anything, because it makes an "ASS-" out of "-U-" and "-ME"

Some people think that MB sent master chief back into time, This is NOT possible, Why? In the last cutscene, Lord hood says " Its hard to believe he's dead ".
If MC would have in fact been sent back in time by Mendicant Bias, I am fairly sure that Master chief would have stopped the flood earlier, Which would mean that lord hood and arbiter would not have even been involved in an alliance.
It is a good theory, but just saying that this theory cannot be true doesn't mean it isn't. You need to back up your statement with proper truth, meaning, this statement is flawed.
If MC was sent back in time, he wouldn't change the present. He would cause the present. If you watch episode 50-53 of Red VS Blue, Church tries to stop the bomb going off that messes up the time line, that sends everyone to separate times, Church goes back 1000 years or so, the others go forwards 800 years. (I'm not including the full story in RvB, it's not the point.)
Church tries in vain to stop the bomb from going off, beginning with the events leading up to it, the death of Butch Flowers, Tex and mainly himself, messing with Lopez's switch etc. And each time he caused the event, he gave Flowers a vaccine to prevent heart failure, but the asprin gave him a heart attack, he deactivated Shiela's (or previously "Philis") friendly fire protocol which allowed her to attack living Church with her auto target protocol ("Oh NO! I'm the team killing -blam!-tard!" "You shot Church you team killing -blam!-tard!"). He was unable to prevent Tex's death, him being a terrible shot. Tampering with Lopez's switch disables Lopez's leg motors when younger, newly dead Church was possessing him.
Then when he was blown up again, he found copies of himself still trying to keep the bomb from going off. The MC might be the one that actives the rings in the first place. There are countless references in Halo 1 to this possibility, from Guilty Spark:
343 Guilty Spark: "More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood." (pause) "But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?"
Cortana: "Left out that little detail, did he?"
343 Guilty Spark: "We have followed outbreak containment procedure to the letter. You were with me each step of the way, as we managed this crisis."
Cortana: "Chief, I'm picking up movement!"
343 Guilty Spark: "Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done?"
There is sufficient evidence for both theories, but the most solid proof is with this one.
