I remember show with time travel where the guy went back to kill hitler. And, he did kill Hitler, but the nanny replaced the baby with another so her employer wouldn't fire her... and "that" kid became the hitler we all know about. It was an interesting take on the fact that the past already happened no matter what you do, you already did it.

I know that what you where saying and for that to work what time travelr to effect what is happing now he would have had to have gone back in time and set the event into into effect. that meens you would have ever thing up to the point that where the person goes back in time has happen already.
my point is your past is somones present. for you to show up in the past you would have to have in the (from the person past person point of view) future gone back in time and for the same reason. this meens that it has already played out before hand. if this is the case anything you do has been done before you even know you are going to do it. that being said it may be the case and we just dont know it.
of this is all base on a system that would not allow pardoxs. if you have a way of dealing with them all this argment is null.
