      To be honest, going back and just taking Hitler or any similarly historically important person out of the equation is likely enough to do that, for most people, given the impact he had on the world, or at the least removes the reason for you to go back in time, so presumably if you’re seriously contemplating doing this, whatever time travel mechanism you have going on probably has to be one where you are shielded from the consequences of whatever changes you make anyway.

        Your authoritative replies about something that is a complete fiction is a bit worrying.

        you have going on probably has to be one where you are shielded from the consequences of whatever changes you make anyway.

        That’s the fun about making shit up, you chose the rules that apply.

      If time travel is possible, and it isn’t the “going to another universe” kind, then it would be impossible to do anything that would cause a paradox. You exist in the timeline, therefore any attempts to change that have failed/will fail.

        then it would be impossible to do anything that would cause a paradox.

        You are making shit up and then saying there are rules?

        Time-travel is a narrative device, the rules are what ever the writer decides.

          I am saying that this would be a rule for time travel to ever make sense.

          Time-travel is a narrative device, the rules are what ever the writer decides.

          I am aware of that, but writers could at least put a little thought into it.
