Why the “grandfather” paradox - time travel related

@Machine_Elf

It’s worth noting that Stephen Hawking once held a party for time travelers from the future, but nobody showed up.

You mean “yet.” Give it time.

@Smapti

I refer you to the case of Philip J. Fry, who managed to both kill and become his own grandfather.

An example of the Pogo Paradox. “We have met the enemy, and they is us!”

Of course. I have to post my several-times-repeated sig line, which I originally used back around 2000:

“Of course,” said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, “There’s no paradox if I shoot you.”
