[QUOTE="ImpossibleMachine, post: 179311, member: 10999"] One possibility is that you can't change the past to a timeline that contradicts the one you are in. The thing preventing it is quantum randomness. If you kill your grandfather, then you don't get born and don't kill your grandfather, right? So what happens? One timeline emerged where you get a time machine and kill your grandfather. A second timeline was created when he died, leading to you not killing him. A third timeline was created when you didn't kill him. You would think the third timeline would be identical to the first. However, if quantum events are truly random then naturally it won't be. The random stuff will happen differently. Maybe, as luck has it, you still kill your grandfather, creating 2 more timelines (one where he dies and one where he doesn't.) Fine, but if that happens, we're into a second reroll. And there will be a third, fourth, fifth.......... maybe even a billionth. But eventually one of these rerolls will lead to a self consistent timeline. And that will be the final version of history. (And the only one you, I, or anyone else can remember.) [/QUOTE]
