Alright someone has probably said something quite a bit like this but I havent read it so tell me what ya think of my theory.
Alright jet engine crashed through Donnie's room but Frank calls him out so he doesnt die like he was supposed to messing with the destiny that everyone is supposed to follow. This creates the tangent universe which will be destroyed in 28 days. Donnie has all the reciever talents like the book says. Water=the flood, fire=burning down creepy pedo's house,strength=axe in bronze dog statue. So pretty much Frank is goin around makin Donnie do things that will ensure the outcome of the tangent universe to make sure the primary universe go's back into motion. Donnie floods the school=Meets gretchen,Burns down guys house=he go's to jail=Donnies mom has to take kids on the infamouse aeroplane,Note to sparrow=she will be standing in the road to make sure Frank swurves and kills Gretchen=Donnie killing Frank and letting himself die at the end to set primary back in place and to make sure all these people dont get hurt. So what happens becuase of donnies death? Frank,Gretchen,and his Mom and Sister are all saved(they wouldnt of gotten on the plane now). And Primary universe can keep chugging along now. Well thats kind of long but if anyone can stomache all that feel free to tell me what ya think

Yea so writing all that out got me thinking. So Donnie defies his destiny/fate. So everything basicly everything that happens is just to make sure he doesnt stray from the path he was given. When he talks to that teacher about time travel they metion something about if you could see your path you'd be able to change it( which Donnie does) but Donnie says not if you stay in the predetermined channel (he ends up dying anyway like he was destined to do he just avoids it for a bit longer)...huh...i hate this movie for making me think....

This has all been said before; you really should perform a search before posting a new thread. But since you're here and you love to think , here's a couple of questions for ya: 1. What are Franks motives? Why does he screw with donnies fate, then proceed to fix it? 2. In your scenario, Frank causes the TU by messing with (Donnies) fate. So Frank must be in the PU at this point - but, he is Manipulated Dead, so how is this possible? 3. What makes you think that the events in the TU would be repeated in the PU should Donnie survive? Welcome to the boards!

this theory sounds great, and is exactly my feeling about the domino effect of time travel, i.e. one event triggers another responce, and so on.
what seems to be the biggest question is why is Donnie laughing at the end of the movie?
i think i have the answer....and it is from mr. mojo risin!
