Time Travel Effects: Grandfather Paradox

Do you think time travel is possible yet? 2 sources have shown it is a possibility now this last source will show what the effects of your wrong doing in the past can accomplish and also how Time traveling may be a theory. This last source titled, “Time Travel Simulation Resolves, Grandfather paradox” by Lee Billings, the author describes how if you were to go back in time and kill your grandfather. what effects this would have on you in the present and future. Killing your grandfather will essentially end your life cycle, which makes the developing questioned theory called the grandfather paradox. If you were to do that will you die? Or would you just not be born? But then this idea expresses the question that if you were unborn then how were you able to time travel in the first place? its essentially one big circle. Here is a image to describe the theory of grandfather paradox. Now with all of this being said, all this information regarding theories, ideas, proof or not and even transportation for time travel, it leaves me with even more questions. Questions that pertain to not the actually time travel theory, but more in the sense of the very aspect and psychological idea of time travel. Why are people so drawn to the idea of time travel? Why are people spending their whole lives trying to prove and solve the time travel mysterious? I read an article titled, “Why Dont Older Americans Want Time Machines” by, Adrienne Lafrance, the author wrote about her main topic of Why dont older americans want time machines, but she also wrote about many other topics regarding psychological aspect of time travel. This article showed many facts about time travel, for instance based on a “pew research center”, they conducted a poll from all of North America asking them all the same question. If you can have any technological advantage right now what would it be. A large percent said flying cars because thats what people naturally think when they consider the idea of futuristic advantages ,but with this pole nearly 1 out of 10 people choose time travel as their technological advantage, which given the amount of people in the U.S that number is very high. What was interesting about the percentage, was that like the author noticed , a large percent of people deciding time travel were all 50 years of age or younger. this fact was very interesting to me as well as obviously the author because it develops even more questions. such as why would the older generation not want to experience the time when they were younger? lafrance answered this question by stating that, “If you’re 70 years old, your brain is a time machine, You have seven decades of technological, social, geopolitical change. People who are going back in time would be going back to things you remember and already lived through.” this statement show that the older generation do not care at all because they’ve, according to la france, have already seen, heard, and most like done it all 7 times in a row if you are 70. Time travel is an interesting concept to grasp with all these unique different sources it makes people want to be involved or want to know more. Can we Time travel? If so would you really want to, knowing that you may not be able to go back to the present? Last but not least, Why do people want to time travel or spend their lives on this concept in the first place? These are the questions that i feel make people want to know more
