Time paradoxes

Could I go back in time and kill my grandfather?

This is considered to be the classic time paradox. If you kill your grandfather at an early age then your father will not be born and neither will you. That means you cannot go back in time and kill him.

In fact you can go back in time and kill the person who aught to be your grandfather. Except the instant you do so that person is no longer your grandfather. What you have done is to create an alternate 'timeverse'. That means when you try to return to your own timeverse it no longer exists. You don't belong in the new version. BELL was set up to prevent the creation of these alternate timeverses.

You'll find more information on time paradoxes in the third (and fourth) stories.
