How can we go back in time to when there was no time? This is turning into a Paradox.
Possibly the most famous paradox is the grandfather paradox. What would happen if a time traveler went back and killed one of his or her ancestors before the traveler was born? If the person killed his or her grandfather, then how could that person be alive to go back and kill his or her grandfather? If we could change the past, it would create an infinite number of paradoxes.

This is why many scientists say that time travel to the past cannot be done, on;y the future. At least from what i've read.
