PARADOXES:
What is a paradox and what does it have to do with time travel?
Well paradoxes are kinda the problems in time traveling.If the classic paradoxes that involve time travel existed,and people could time travel the universe would collapse!
So first,let's find out what a paradox is. It is something that leads to the same thing.Or as wikipedia would say :
"A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet might be true"
To better understand this il' give you a few examples:
"This following sentence is true"
"This previous sentence is false"
Ok,so that's a paradox,what does it have to do with time travel? A lot!
Let's take a look at the Temporal Paradox,also known as the time travel paradox.
A time traveler goes to the past changing it and disabling himself to ever become a time traveler.How would he do that if his past self will never be able to do that.
An example is the grandfather paradox.I have a time machine so i go back to the past and kill my grandfather for some reason...So if i killed him before i was born i would have never been born,there for i could have never killed him in the first place!
What would happen?No idea!That is if we aren't talking about Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban.
In the 3rd book of this awesome series our heroes go back in time to help they're past selfs(without them seeing 'em ofc)
So thier past selfs could do the same thing to they're past selfs...
I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense.I'm trying my best.
If you want a video about it just watch this one:
It explains these paradoxes a bit better.I mean after all it's moving pictures not text.

This one is known as the Pinocchio paradox
This one is known as the "mindfuck"
