This has probally been done so many times before but i cant find any recent info. Anyway, there are probally more new members that could make a worthwhile contribution to this thread.

O.k, 12 monkeys plot. Basically, it creates a loop in time where it repeats over and over again. If this happened, how would it start? It couldnt have right.
Basically im interested in paradoxes that people have thought up to do with time travel. please share them.

The question is: could time travel happen due to its paradoxs?

SoLiDUS: That sounds like the grandmother paradox.

The debate over time travel, into the past at least, is, at the moment, pure conjecture. That said, I have nothing constructive of my own to add. However, I would like to recommend an interesting book Time Travel in Einstein's Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time. It can be ordered here http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=2UL03LBTL3&isbn=0395955637

I neglected to mention; the book is just a general overview. It is, however, still interesting. So if you want something extremely technical, don't bother. Otherwise, enjoy the book!
