Grandfather Paradox
Grandfather Paradox
questions that is now hypothetically and theoretically accepted. Time is a straight path in
which you can't return, but can only go forward. There would, in my view, be a parallel
universe if a person goes back in time to destroy his grandfather and succeeds. According to
Everett (1957), there are countless worlds generated by the choices we make in any
circumstance we face, each with a copy of ourselves. According to this theory, if you
murdered your grandfather, there's a possibility you'd still be alive, but you'd have created a
parallel universe in which you and your father don't exist. Moreover, if you went back in time
and tried to kill your grandfather and were successful, you would no longer be alive, and the
killing would never have occurred, because your grandfather would still be alive. In my own
personal humble opinion and perspective, it’s impossible to change past and influence the
present and future. In the law of physics, it is not proven that it is possible to preserve
causation from time travelers. Thus, making the science community disagree with Novikov’s
self- consistency principle.
