Why do they think there’s a real “grandfather paradox”? The molecules in your body don’t care about an association you have with someone in the past.
You’ll go right on existing if you kill your grandfather, the universe does not care, it’s just a paradox in our minds.
‘could I interest you in our maintenance and repair warranty upgrade’ ?
Observationally, the universe is expanding. Thus for one to go back in time it would seem necessary to shrink the universe in it´s entirety to what it´s radius was at a given time in the past. Or, to go forward, the expansion would seem to have to be accelerated. The energy inputs required for either would seem so large as to be in the limit of infinity. Not to even mention the alignment of every particle, which would seem to have to be precisely as it was in the past, or taking into account any randomness of the future.
In other words, I don´t think you can do it. .
