So I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if my future self walked in with a completed essay write now? But isn't this some type of paradox? Say I get the essay from my future self, keep it for 10 or 20 years, then go back in time to give the essay to my present self. Where did the essay come from? What does it say? Who wrote it?

You photocopy it and hand in the copy. You probably wrote it.
I'm just messing with you time travel back is impossible most you can do is slow down time. Its hard enough to do what you can do is travel around the world at mach 15 and when you get back check your watch against one that you left behind. Try slowing time down for everyone else if you can do that email me.

The problem would be, how to stop the paper from aging and eventually decomposing.
It would continually get twenty years older, but it couldn't, because then it would have to be twenty years older than it already was... unless for some reason the paper got younger when it travelled back in time... then would you get younger from travelling back in time?
More paradoxes.
I guess you could retype it on new paper, and make two copies, one to hand in, and one to keep and send back... you'd still have the paradox of where the original came from, and then you'd have more and more paper floating around...

not necessarily, all we have to do is figure out how to disassemble atoms, travel faster than the speed of light, and disrupt the space time conitnuum so that we could be in two places at once.

I think you were watching too much time travel shows there. Time to wake up and get back to reality.

Good one. Yes, it is a paradox. You didn't write it, but you must have done.

I would answer this again for you, but I already gave you the correct answer in 2009!

sorry scientists recently proved that traveling back in time is impossible.
