Paradoxes and Problems<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Grandfather paradox<\/b><\/p>\n

Imagine that you do manage to invent a time machine. You travel back in time to the time of your grandfather. Let\u2019s say you meet and because you are a murderous grandson, you decide to kill him. This would then prevent one of your parents from being born. So you would not be born and you would not have been able to create the time machine\u00a0 So you would not be able to kill your grandfather, so your father would be born, so you would be born, so you would invent a time machine, \u00a0kill your grandfather preventing one of your parents from being born, and so you would not be born, so you would not have been able to create the time machine, so you would not be able to kill your grandfather, so your father would be born, so you would be born, so you would invent a time machine, kill your grandfather etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this paradox depends on two things<\/span><\/p>\n
