The most well-known example of the impossibility of traveling in time is
the grandfather paradox or self-infanticide argument: a person who travels in
the past and kills his own grandfather, thus preventing the existence of one of
his parents and thus his own existence. A philosophical response to this paradox
would be the impossibility of changing the past, like Novikov self-consistency
principle (if an event exists that would cause a paradox or any "change" to the
past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero, thus it would be
impossible to create time paradoxes).
