paradox!!!!!!!!?

Question

okay, i had a very clear dream... and i've been thinking for the past 4 days, and I need some answers!!!

okay, say timetraveling was possible... and you go back intime to kill your grandfather before having your father! and you actually do kill him, what happens next?? Cause if you kill your grandfather, you're father would never be born, which also means you would be born. so0 if you were never born who was it that killed your grandfather? it didnt happen... but it did happen!!

Answer 1

well what if it happened but it didnt happen.. if you went back in time that means that you were alive at one point right? ok so you did exist and you go back and kill him then your dad or you wouldnt have been here, and yet you still question who is the one that killed your grandfather. YOU DID! You are alive to day went to the past and changed it. and IF you could change the past then that would make you none existing today. you still would have killed him.. are you talking about something the the movie the butterfly effect or deja vu if you havnt seen those watch them... then you might understand more about what you are thinking...

Answer 2

In that case you were a ghost and couldn't kill anyone. From that we learn that you can't change the past and at least some ghosts are from the future. What if part of you your thinking went back as a ghost and you were no longer in the future as soon as all of you materialized in the past to kill your grandfather. Or changed your mind and went back forward and materialized back in you bed, only having been gone an hour or at the speed of consciousness seemed to take a week but in this world only a second out of bed and your mom saw you were gone but did a double take and you were back. You woke up and said what a dream not realizing that it all really occurred, because you don't believe in that sort of thing and anyway your mom said nonsense and mom knows. Trouble is my dreams are more like vague bizarre cartoons. That's a sign of -IQ they say. If I got really into it maybe it would clear up and we could actually land as a ghost and materialize. I wouldn't put it past that sly creator for a minute. In any case I'm afraid of my dreams and won't be leaving any time soon. Oops, gotta go, things happen fast in time travel.
I'm back. So I had to gather all the energy that I was made of from around universe so I could take it back with me and that's how I existed here and there and then there and not here or there and I'm back and I kiled your granfather. Hello. Hell.o. Are you there? Is any.body there? Huhmp I guess he's gone?

Answer 3

So, how far in time did you do back in your dream? Did you kill your grandfather BEFORE or AFTER your father was born? Because if it was before, than it is certain you would not exist. And if it was after, would the absence of your Grandfather contribute to the idea of your father never meeting your mother? Than you might not exist either! Our lives are maps- one road always leads to another. Would your father choose a different path of life if your grandfather had died early on? How far off the present road would this event take him? But....

If YOU had gone back in time and killed your grandfather before your father was born and continued to exist after the event had occured, than the EVENT itself never occured. Your question is confusing and forces me to think and this is the best answer I could give.
