    Read this... Suppose you travelled back in time and killed your biological grandfather before he met your grandmother. As a result, one of your parents (and by extension, you) would never have been conceived, so you could not have traveled back in time after all. In that case, your grandfather would still be alive and you would have been conceived, allowing you to travel back in time and kill your grandfather, and so on.

    Does this make time travel impossible?

    Naw u coulda still been born. It may be like you are in line and it's your turn to see the white light at the end of the tunnel. Considering the zillion of stars and other planets with life on them and how molecules form to make things, it may be that life is similar everywhere. The thing is you'd be on another planet far far away from here and you may have been born into a time when they had no electricity, so you'd be like talking about time travel around a campfire......and they would like throw food at you cuz you'd be so weird. hahahah

    Damn, I don't 'believe' in time travel. :D

    For real ... If in fact you could go ahead, oe behind in time ...

    You would still be 'here and now'. No matter where you go in time.

    You cannot escape the eternal present.

    So in essence, you can't go ahead, or behind of where you are NOW.

    Make sence? :D
