Grandfather Paradox
If you travel back and prevent your grandparents from meeting, how could you have been born to travel back in time? This contradiction challenges the logic of backward time travel.
Bootstrap Paradox
What happens if you bring an object (like a book) back in time and give it to someone who then writes it—where did the original idea come from? This is an example of a causal loop.
