Nope, time traveling to the past is too dangerous. It might cause paradoxes unless nature has a way of preventing it. |

I like the theory that all events must happen no matter what even if it happens in a different way. Then again, my favorite book series Cirque Du Freak told it a different way saying that all events must happen. However, every time you interfere, most likely by killing a person, time produces another person to take their role but it'll happen later. |

Well MY favorite book series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, said this on time travel: One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end. The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father. Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later additions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term "Future Perfect" has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be. |

Seriously need to read that series. I swear it's up there on my reading list, I'm just really lazy unless I get into a mood for reading. |

The only time travel book series I read is "The missing" and I read the first 3 books, Found, Sent ans Sabotaged. It's about historical people who were kidnapped as kids by time travelers. |

Well there's another possibility of preventing paradoxes. By travelling to past you travel to a parallel world (look up Everett's many worlds interpretation) and when you do something it just changes the future of the parallel world not the world you came from. |
