Time Paradox

Very interesting consept. Of course I don't think that the universe would ever alow itself to be paradoxed by time travel. If I were to go back in time to kill one of my parents, perhaps a new universe would be created. Let me explain: If each present moment [ie present:prima] becomes the past, and the future, would be the present. therefor we can say that presnt past and future are the same, only we are traveling along it in two dimesions. If you go back and change things for the present, then it would not be changing any thing because when the past was the present, the "change" would already be satisfying the future, which is our present...if none of this makes any sence, then please consider this: would it be possible for you to travel back in time to sleep with your grandmother/father, so that your parent could be born, so that you could be born? (and it wouldn't be instest since you weren't born yet)

Maybe we really are moving in the 5th dimension of Probability all the time, just like we move in one direction in the 4th dimension of Time, even though we don't notice either one. We branch out in Probability at every decision point in our lives. (in other words, constantly.) So if we make a paradox by moving elsewhere in Time, we haven't changed anything for anybody but ourselves, so if you go back to shoot Hitler in his cradle, YOU would be the only person who enters a world without a WWII.
