[quote="Animal Mother":ba58c]Think about this.
According to his site he was born in 1998
That would mean he is 5.
What if Little john saw big johns site, Little John then Dies 2 seconds later, leaving the site on his screen.
Would the site exist?[/quote:ba58c]

I didn't read the site, so I wish you wouldn't use it as an example, but I think I know where your going. I'll take a stab at it.

Little John would not beable to die if he is to grow up and create a site, then travel back in time.

The site wouldn't exist, no if Little John died and was never able to grow up and make the site. Is that what your saying?

If that is, what I'm saying is Little John can't die if he is to grow up.

This is somewhat like the Grandfather paradox.

If I go back in time to see my grandfather and then I kill him, how was I ever alive to actually go back in time and do that? It's not possible. This is one reason why some think its not possivle to travel back in time.

But this entire time i've been talking about traveling forward in time, not back.
