Dear all

Have you heard of the 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅? It's a thought experiment in time travel that goes like this...

Imagine you travel back in time and 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 before he has children. This would mean you were never born, so how could you have gone back in time to kill him?

This paradox raises the question: can the past be changed through time travel, or is it fixed? If the past can be changed, then what happens to the present and future?

Some solutions to the Grandfather Paradox involve the idea of 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙡 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨. If you went back in time and changed something, you would create a new timeline where that change occurred, while the original timeline would remain unchanged.

Another solution is the idea of predestination - that 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙, and any attempt to change the past is futile.

The Grandfather Paradox is a fascinating concept that raises many philosophical questions about the nature of time, causality, and free will.

It also highlights the potential dangers of time travel - if changing the past is possible, then any action we take could have unintended and unpredictable consequences for the future.

Your value is much higher than you think to a small number of people. You probably have specialty skills, networks, resources and insights that certain people are eager to access.

The purpose of life is to experience things for which you will later experience nostalgia.
