@Iced1992 Correct there is a single, linear time line and it creates no paradoxes or causality loops. If you go back and kill your grandfather nothing will prevent you from doing this you have free will the same as you do now. However when you return to your own time no one would know who you were you would have wiped yourself out of history. There are no multiverses required.
When/If Time travel is possible i will kill myself before i kill myself. Just to see what happens.
@Iced1992
I was assuming a linear time. If time is not linear, then the multiverse theory might come into effect, I could say. Because you cannot live in the same world where the past can be two different things. That would cause the paradox.
@thewarrior357 In all your comments you superpose a condition of a linear time, while the implication of theoretical physics about time travel all assume time in itself is not set. This invalidates all your paradoxes at once.
@supervixen404 seriuosly? i love having a credit card. You just need to use it right and not abuse it
@supervixen404
You won’t, then, because that would mean that credit cards wouldn’t exist today. It would create a paradox of sorts.
Either that, or you do kill the person you think created the card, whereas someone else creates it. . . WHATEVER
@fringeelements
A better example is this; you go back to the past in order to prevent a tsunami from killing thousands of people. Somehow, you convince the authorities in the past to build barriers on the seashore, and the disaster doesn’t kill anyone. However, if this happened, then your past self would not have any reason to time travel in the first place, and you wouldn’t be here right now. This is the paradox.
Read more of science fiction. And read wikipedia’s article on Time Paradox.

If you kill your father in the past, then the past would lead to a different present and future, a present and future in which “you” wouldn’t eve exist. So if you’re existing now, it means you will never, in the future, go back in time and kill your father, because if you did, then you wouldn’t be existing right now in the timeline.
This is getting idiotic. First Wells invokes magik “free will”, then the narrator says that determinism leads to people not taking responsibility for their actions. Yes, determinism is true.
This seems so obvious. Of course you can go back in time, kill your great grandfather, and then from that point in time the future is different than the memory of the future of the time traveler.
This all seems so obvious to me. There’s no paradox, just language failing to adapt.
I’m sorry, I don’t see the “paradox”. A man gets born, goes back in time, kills his father. But we’re not the same person from second to second. So sure traveling back in time and changing things will have an impact on the future from that instance, but it’s not like “the time traveler isn’t born”.
It’s just sending particles back in time, and those particles then interact with other particles. If you went back in time and killed your dad, the particles that make up “you” wouldn’t disappear.
wormhole is the newest discovery of the time travel. . . . but the question is, does it really exist???
@ngekz88 then if not a black hole we need something that can twist spacetime so light would be pretty good but id use it in a diffrent way kinda like time dialation but more controlled and powerfull.
@FROSTYDEAN15 i think there no things that can resist black hole, black hole can twist space how much more the things or material. .
@ngekz88 the idea would be using a portable black hole containd by some sort of matterial that can resist the effects of the black hole
then a device would be needed to be able to eaither spin the black hole itself so that the time altering effects would affect the ship and the black hole in this case travel to the future would be possible but to maintain a black hole would take a lot of power plus acces to atoms and energy for a return trip.
@FROSTYDEAN15 I am Very interesting about this time travel. . . but before they use black hole as their experiment they should look forward on whats the possible effect of this in the planet earth. . .
@monsterEyesPro in my analytic geometry class my prof said that zero divided by zero is not 1 or 0 it is an infinite positive or negative number . . . .
i have a similer idea involving aftificial black holes only my idea would allow me to travel backwards and forwards
only problem got to find a way to not get sucked into a black hole
@ngekz88 I think they should study dividing zero
i think the key to this study is the black hole!!
Baloney. If this could go back into the past, I could change it. I know it. Even if my gun doesn’t go off, I could strangle the bastard. . . . .
what paradox is:
The woman 22 yrs sex change. . . . 10 yrs later he is 32 yrs old he travel back in time and impress his younger , woman self and have sex with it and they have children?

@Juefawn cause makin it real is the solution for it :/
@mentalmusicallity welcome to the term “paradox” my frnd
omg that´s what i always tougth, what if i alter the past and cause the things turn out as they did, or what if i screwed it and then the universe´s System32 is erasen and we all die. . . omg i just cant keep up with this T. T
