Different history on a micro/individual level, but not on a macro/world level. There are things which are simply inconsequential which aren't fixed and/or affect by the Attraction Field because it isn't deemed important enough, and "how" one does things in most case falls under the "not affected" category. Here how Kurisu came to the discovery of time machine is inconsequential, rather the result that she was the one that invented it is. So you can also think of it as traveling between two points via different paths. The path taken might and can be different but what's important is the end result and not the path.
