I’m going to try to explain paradoxes with a simple analogy. Although I might end up explaining it wrong, so help me out.
Say you go back in time and you kill your parents. I know this is stupid, just work with me here. You go back in time and kill both your parents and there is no chance for their survival. Therefore you will cease to ever exist. No here’s where the paradox comes in. If you did in fact kill your parents, how would you have existed in the first place to go back in time? I’m thinking it can’t happen, not because time travel isn’t possible, but because if you have ceased to exist, you wouldn’t be able to go back in time to kill your parents. Perhaps you believe in the fouth dimension? Where you’re placed in some space/time continuum, where it acts as some sort of buffer.
Although, this is all in theory, this is what I believe. What do you think? LOL, Jesse, here’s your cue. Go off on this one!
Oh, this has no relation to the movie, “The One” with Jet Li. Although that movie is really about parallel universes, and not time travel, per se. This is just a random topic I’d like to discuss. I haven’t even seen the movie. Even though I’d like to. Guess I have to wait for my next unemployment check, whenever the hell that comes.
