Travelling through time and meeting your future kids and dead grand grand father is amazing. As amazing and great it is. it is even very very difficult for science to achieve. In this particular blog we will be discussing about the paradoxes of time travel. Suppose you went to past and killed your grandfather and killed Abraham Lincoln then what would happen to you. How can you even kill your own grandfather ?
If you killed your grandfather then how could you be born and if you were not there then who killed your grandfather ?
Seems pretty confusing right ?
Or what if you saved dinosaurs ?
If you were here for ideas and theories of time travel then I highly recommend you to look my post o time travel where I have explained everything about time travel, from gravity affecting time to speed affecting time and how can we achieve it practically. I will leave the link below.
Lets explain......
For you to understand this you must know the nature of time. The particular nature of time where it says we can split time. What the heck do it mean ? Take it like this, you traveled into the past, at the exact same time you went to the past you will create a parallel time frame to you called parallel universe. There will be two universe, one is your normal universe where your grandfather gave birth to you and you were born, such a handsome man or beautiful women is born who will upvote this post later (Kidding). And another universe where you killed your grandfather and you will there be unknown that you were his grand child and your father won't be born and you won't be born but you will be there who came from unknown place. You may or may not return to your original universe. But I guess it used to be fun in past.
This explains another great thing. Stephen Hawking used to say human will never achieve time travel because if in future, intelligent human being achieve time travel and traveled to past then why they are not here. Why they are not taking our photo and telling us about future. This may be because we humans of present or of future we will be inn this same universe. If intelligent human made time machine then they may be in parallel universe.
