[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 6036974, member: 36349"] Only if it has already happened. I'm not a fan of paradoxes because from my viewpoint time travel should only be possible if its revealed the world is as it is because they [I]had to go back to the past[/I] for their world to be what it is. For example if someone from now hadn't been stuck in the past say around the second world war whose to say where we would be now, what if because of their presence and memories of what was to come it allowed the world to develop far more peacefully than had he or she not been present? What if the microchip or the massive build up of American industry wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't gone back and recommended certain things be done to prepare his homeland for what was going to happen, he could have even tried to warn them about 9/11 but the information may have been passed to the wrong person and misused to bring about Homeland Security. The idea about going back to kill your own Grandfather has always struck me as ridiculous after all your target of choice is based on what you know not what actually happened and its more likely you end up bringing about what caused you to make the trip in the first place after all Primeval might be a good sci fi tv show but when they got around to explaining the origin of those anomalies thats when they fell apart.
