WHAT IF YOU TIME-TRAVELLED IN THE PAST AND KILLED YOUR GRANDFATHER?

Suppose, you created a time machine, and you decided to go in the past and apparently kill your grandfather! Terrifying, isnโt it? What would exactly happen to you then? This is termed GRANDFATHER PARADOX.
Now to solve this paradox, I referred to the articles of various mathematicians and physicists, by putting them all together in a simple language here I present my next blog related to time.
First of all, time travel would never allow the possibility of self-annihilation. (making your existence disappear from the past, present, and future) . then what would happen if you do so?

BRANCHING TIME TRAVEL: according to the philosophers Nuel Belnap and David Deutsch, when you travel back in time you donโt actually travel in your original timeline, but in an alternate timeline of the alternate universe just like yours. And when you point a gun towards your grandfather and shot it, you are killing your identical grandfather from that identical universe, not yours. And then after his death, your father wouldnโt be born in that specific alternate universe there, and neither would you. Hence you would just prevent that universeโs version of you being born.
But from this solution, we didnโt get satisfying answers. The second solution given by David lewis was, time travel would not give someone the ability to kill their own grandfather because doing so would be impossibleโessentially because theyโd be predestined not to do so. He says we cannot affect the things that already happened as that would never meant to be happen. Philosopher maulin says โIt’s actually more difficult than you think to come up with a situation where there are no consistent solutions,โ unless we create a time machine and found it ourselves.
And if you created one, here are my coordinates, welcome time travellers.
18 degree 27โ40.1โ north
73degrees 50โ28.1โ east
Tell me what you think about this paradox and comment below.

Same answer by banner when rodhes asked "why can't we kill baby thanos " in MCU
Great !!!๐๐
GAURI OP IN THE CHATT!!โจ
Awesome work ๐๐๐ฏ
Great!!โบโบ๐โค
Nice thought Gauri!!
I am a Dev and would take situation like a Git repo. If you traversing a data structure backwords, ideally you are not supposed to make a permanent change (a change that creates history/a new data point). If you do so: you have to branch out.
Awesome keep it up๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
This based on hypothesis that we traveling to parallel time line.
If our own grandpa get killed in same time line (which is possible a per theory) we do not exist at the same moment & then there will be new alternate timeline reality created.
So scientist belives these reality existing parallely, sometimes our individual decisions make it different & gives diff destiny.
Great work keep it up ๐
Great thought๐๐ค
Exited for next one๐
Awesome
osmm keep going on ๐ฅ
Great dear โค๏ธ๐
Keep going on
Nice concept…eagerly waiting for the other one
Keep it upโบ
