But how does that explain their ability to project Alduin forward in time or removing the curse of Nocturnal's Cowl? If they are just memories then that should mean they are just knowledge, and not really a form of power. I'm not entirely sure on the Alduin part, but the Nocturnal's Cowl part could be because it removes someone from history, if the Elder Scroll is a shard of a memory of the other Kalpa it could remember the Grey Fox, as they are memories of something much stronger than what Nocturnal cannot erase.

For Alduin... well, it could be because Alduin was not following his destiny(which could be the memories of the last kalpa) so the Elder Scroll tossed him through time so he could be 'recalibrated' to this Kalpa. The Elder Scroll moved him so he could fit into the memory.

And you know what they say, "Knowledge is Power" - France is Bacon.
