Credit to This post for getting me thinking.
Assuming that time travel did exist, would you be able to go back in time and kill your parents, preventing your existence? If you went back in time and killed your father, you would cease to exist. Since you don't exist anymore, there is no way that you could have killed your father, so everything would be normal. No matter what you do in the past, there is no way to prevent your own existence?

Nah, if there is/could be Time Travel, and you did go in the past and kill your own father then you'd cease to exist. Weather that be you vanishing or the timeline starting again, but instead of your Father meeting your Mother they met someone else and you were never born (:

Preventing your own existence would cause you to jump between realitys. You would never have invented time travel in one, but would never have existed in the other. It's called a Paradox.

Say for example time travel existed.
You went back and killed your mum and dad, thus ceasing your existence.
What would happen to you at that moment?
Or you could do a Fry on futurama and sleep with your grandmother and killing your grandfather. Another way to cease your existence. :|

It could be that once you kill your grandfather, you continue as nothing happened, but unknowingly to you, you're now in an alternative universe!
