Is the Large Hadron Collider sabotaging itself?

So, was that mysterious person, at some instance, someone else than me? If not, how could I have been born (which I must be to be able to go back)? If so, then I would agree but the question why I would go back in time to save my grandfather if he got saved anyway comes to mind. Gets close to killing him after my dad was conceived (which is not a paradox).

You were born, because your grandfather was saved ... by you...

That does not preclude the possibility that you had travelled back in time to that moment for another reason. Genealogical research, perhaps. Or perhaps to identify the good samaritan who pushed your grandpa out of the way of a bus, then mysteriously disappeared. Then the danger is you waiting too long for this stranger to show up.

You also can't discount the possibility that original time traveling you may have come from an different universe that somehow crossed over to ours, thus changing the time line of our universe, allowing you to exist in this universe's future.

Boy, don't you just love time travel.

Gives me a headache

That's why I think Larry Niven was right when he wrote in The Theory And Practice Of Time Travel that the universe tends toward equilibrium, and the simplest equilibrium in this situation is a universe in which time travel is impossible.

But time travel is possible, only in one direction with ease though. We do it every day and those traveling at high speed do it a bit faster. The clock corrections necessary for GPS prove that.

That's the default configuration. It is still unknown whether the operating system supports non-standard configurations.

Fry: It's impossible, I mean, if she's my grandmother, who's my grandfather?

Professor Farnsworth: Isn't it obvious? You are!

If you want to get confused, watch the movie called Primer. Really cool time travel movie, lots of going back and forth.

I never got this part. Does it jut mean clocks have to be adjusted or could you actually get the results ofg the superbowl match earlier if you just ran fast enough?

[Dr Mordrid]

It means clocks have to be adjusted to compensate for the slight time dilation.

I was going to post a picture of Fry screaming but the only thing of any note that I found was that I'd better turn my SafeSearch filter back on.
