The new movie Looper is coming out about a guy who has people sent back from the future for him to kill. The twist is that his future self gets sent back. If his future self kills his younger self, how did he continue to live into the future to get sent back in the first place. This is the Grandfather Paradox.
Hitler's Murder Paradox says that if you go back in time to kill someone famous, before their time of fame, such as Hitler, then they never became famous and you wouldn't have known about them to go back in time to stop them.
The Omnipotence Paradox says that if there is a deity out there that can create anything, can he/she create something that can'not be moved, even by the deity? And if not, then that mush mean that they are not omnipotent, right?
I could just like driving myself crazy with puzzles with no answer, but I find this fascinating.
This are the kinds of things that make my brain hurt. It's fun to think about those concepts. Looper sounds like a movie I want to watch.
