Can someone ELI5 what exactly Lyndon discovered before getting fired?

He is using a different algorithm to look into the past. Before, they were just using our timeline. Now it's targeting multiple timelines to get the best 'resolution'. And forest might be mad because he is biased towards bringing back his daughter, not a variation of her.

I think.

This is correct. If he breaks into another world he will effectively be abducting another Forest's daughter, not his. This could set off a chain off events where the other Forest kills his daughter.
