A paradox is an endless loop of events, usually triggered by time travel. A well known paradox is the "Grandfather Paradox," in which you use time travel to kill your (true: the reason I say true is because there's a possibility you could be adopted without knowing it.) grandfather. If you kill your grandfather, your parents would never have been born, resulting in your "never-birth."

It's a cycle that continues over and over until you die or your family tree just kinda blows up. Ouch.

P.S. Yes, it's extremely risky. Don't try this at home, kids.

Wait wait wait!!!! If my grandparents die, I'll die?!? Well, say goodbye to further life when they do die.

Oh, but time travel is completely possible. We're traveling through time constantly. The issue we have, is that we can only go forward. The part that's missing is directional control over time travel. Sadly, we're not in the right dimension for that. I believe directional control over the time axis only comes in and following the fifth dimension. We are stuck in the fourth dimension. (Time, lenght, width, height).

However, if we could travel back in time, would we actually be able to alter anything?
I'm not too sure, perhaps we could alter small things accidently, but I'd say we would never be able to alter time intentionally. Simply because, if the idea of change time was our trigger for time travel, would we still have that trigger if time was altered to our design? Simply put, you wouldn't go back in time to pick an apple three hours ago, if three hours ago you picked the apple.

Every single second counts as the future, but I meant as: could we travel forward in time in more than 10 years? You see, no skills are needed for seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years. But there is a missing piece in the fabric that allows us to travel more than 10 years. In other words, speed up time. If we travel in the past, however, one teeny tiny thing can change everything in the present. Like, killing your parents in the past, would lead you to killing yourself, and if you grew up to be a popular person or the head of a company in the future, then death in the past would cause everything to change. But, while people are altering the past, what's happening to the present when you see it with your own eyes? Well, if those people killed the head of a glassware company, just an example, then all the glass would disappear right before your eyes. My word of advice? Do not mess with time travel. I've seen some people mess with it, and there will be such thing as World War 4 in the present!

A good example of time travel and parallel universes is, believe it or not, the movie It's a Wonderful Life. This holiday classic shows us the life of George Bailey as he lived it and what happens when he wishes he had never been born; the wish is granted and he sees his community and how one man's life can affects others - an alternative reality without George Bailey.

I also forgot to include switching dimensions, but you got that.
