+362 If you were to go back in time and destroy the world, it would mean you weren't born and didn't travel back in time and destroy the world, which would mean you were born and did go back in time and destroy the world.... It's just a huge paradox, amirite?

And then you tear a hole in the universe so you have to go blow up your time machine and wait until your companion and her husband remember you at their wedding.

Sounds like the grandfather paradox. Say you went back in time and killed your grandfather. This means you were never born, so you didn't kill him...
