    There are several theories that suggest that time travel is impossible because every time a time machine is invented people go to the past and mess something up, which causes it never to be invented.

    So right after we discovered time travel someone went back in time and scared a crow eating a sandwich. The crow flew over a cooling vent and dropped bread into it and POOF no more time travel, yet again.

    @Navin R Johnson: Well, the most accepted theories state time travel isn't yet in existence as both where travelling from and destination both need a functioning time machine.

    What you suggested is a paradox: Someone travels back in time to stop the creation of a time machine THUS stopping themselves travelling back in time THUS the time machine is created [repeat x infinite] #lhcbaguetteincident

    @RJackson:
    "What you suggested is a paradox"

    Exactly my point. This very paradox is what keep the LHC from operating!

    If you believe that any time travel to the past would create such a paradox then it follows that any time line that contains an event which allows time travel to the past will have zero probability.

    The sky was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was soaring ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big chirp. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his flying. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great bird! Then from out of nowhere a huge gust of wind lifted me up, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top of the LHC face to face with the busbars. I could barely see from all of the wind blowing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand in and pulled out the obstruction!

    The bird was sent by God to save us from a black hole that would've occurred at that exact moment.

    The Hindenburg was actually destroyed by a stray globule of mint jelly that reacted violently with a volatile particle of dust left over after the temporal displacement of non-Evil Hitler during his attempt to kill his evil alternate universe double that appeared spontaneously within its center, so I can see how this could happen.
