[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 92138, member: 4804"] Assuming you're not in a multiple timeline system where no paradox would occur anyway, I've always assumed that the chance for a paradox of that kind to arise would never occur. Let's say "future you" appears and says something to "present you". At some point in the future, "present you" becomes "future you" by travelling back in time and repeating whatever was said to "present you", thus causing a stable time loop. (And an ontological paradox, but that's a separate discussion not relevent to this example) The obvious paradox is for "present you" to see "future you", but decide not to travel back later. I think in such a scenario, the original "future you" would never have shown up in the first place. Rather than looking at time as something that can be changed, look at it as something already fixed in place. Whatever has happened will always happen. If you were going to decide to not travel back, you never showed up in the first place. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but I think that solution causes the least amount of problems from a Physics and Philosophy standpoint. Oh, and I'm also not a time traveller, just to avoid any confusion. :D [/QUOTE]
