Nice story. I like it  IHATETHE60SECONDRULEDARNIT!!

Actually, this is what happens when you cause a paradox.

That happens while the parallel universe is being formed. I almost forgot. ^^'

I forgot to put that in my story! While I was unconcious, I began to unknowingly dance to that!

Or this

I was thinking more along the lines of this:

But in all seriousness, any paradoxical situation that results in two laws of physics conflicting couldn't exist. While mental or logical paradoxes may exist, they can be ignored as nothing more than a mental conundrum, a clever little situation that really wouldn't have any grounds in reality. Thus, the fabric of time and space is safe. At least, that's my opinion.

So if I were Pinocchio, I wouldn't be ABLE to say "My nose will now grow?"

She says it has no grounds in reality, and last time I checked Pinocchio wasn't reality.

That's v ery true...but let's say for a moment that when I was created, my nose grew whenever I lied. WHat would happen if...?

If you said your nose will grow, that's a lie, so your nose grows, but you said it won't, so THIS. SENTENCE. IS. FALSE.

Exactly. THe only solution would be a parallel universe.

If you said your nose will grow... that's true, since it's a lie and it makes your nose grow. Confusing if you think about it.

It doesn't matter IF such a scenario were true, because it CAN'T be. There is no force of nature strong enough to make such a scenario necessary, where physics itself clashed and something HAD to be done to maintain order.

Also, "she"? O_O

I'd bring religion into this to argue my point, but the Scratch Team doesn't allow such things. ^^'

Let's say a major company like Google invents time travel (they will eventually. *shudder*) and you use it to go one second back in time. The fact that you showed up before you traveled would stop yourself from actually traveling, thus making the pre-time traveled version of yourself never existed, which means that you would have actually traveled, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself, which would stop yourself, which would make yourself *head explodes*
[/example of Paradox]

The TRUE consequences of a paradox are: You are confused.

well no one has ever caused a paradox so who would know what it does?

Paradoxes wouldn't happen if my theory of time-changing was true. See, you can't change time cuz if you went back in time and did something it would be already on the timeline of all events cuz...let's say you went back in time and you and your past self made eye contact. You would then travel back to the presenty, "Oh! So THAT'S why I saw my future self all those years ago!"
Anyway, this would probably happen if a paradox occured:
