RAWR - Right Answer Wrong Reason

Really it's a math question combined with science(and a touch of 
absurdity), you know the train traveling on the train deal.

Your lights would shine in your mirror.

Bro Richard I said weird ;) kinda theoretical.  We can be serious in
another thread :)

Not only never return, but cease to be.


This is a long answer, I'll shorten it as best I can.

1) you would have never existed so you couldn't have built the time
machine.

2) since you didn't exist to make the time machine, your grandfather
married your grandmother producing you.

3) you then made your time machine, went back in time and convinced your
grandfather to marry someone else.

4) repeat 1 - 3 as needed

This one came from a high school world history class on the acient Greek
philosophers.

Skip (this ain't for serious consideration - the mind you twist maybe
your own)
