Time Travel Paradox

[F4LL3N]

The timeline you know would be different than everyone elses timeline. If you went back in time to kill Hilter, noone in the future would know about him but you. Because you are your continuous self. Pretty much a like parallel universe.

Just like if you went back and killed Einstein. Science in the future probably wouldn't be the same, but your Delorean wouldn't magically disappear. Because if you go back in time, the future becomes the past. Then if you travel back to the future, the previous future in which you built the time machine would still be the past. Atleast to you.

Time travel into the future may actually be possible. I don't know about into the past though.

EDIT: If you went back in time and killed yourself, I don't think the present you would disappear. The 'past' you would. But that would be an entirely different being. If false = paradox. Because you never existed when you built the time machine.

The Doctor explains this in two ways, first off, some events in time are time locked and cannot be changed, these are generally large events that would cause too many problems if they were undone, like the Dalek-Timelord war or possibly, WWII.

The second is that when you are traveling, the knowledge that you have and the events that you cause are now your existence. So for example, you would be aware of the changes, but everyone else wouldn't be in the future.


So in summary, Hitler probably couldn't be killed because WWII is time locked and even if you could kill him, you would still remember the atrocities committed, but everyone else wouldn't.

There, I just explained time.


Couldn't have said it better myself!
Also Reavers. I can't find a good clip of reavers. Eat away at whatever causes a paradox until the paradox is resolved.
