Hawkins had a problem with paradoxes in this episode. I don't think he's right about the feedback thing he suggested though, I think its simpler.
Paradoxes cannot exist imo. Let say for instance you go and try and kill your grandfather in the age old tale, and lets assume that every possible thing that can happen will happen.
If you go back and try and seperate your sucess into 2 catergories, 1-everytime you kill ur grandad, and 2-every time you don't. (everytime you don't could happen, from say the bullet being deflected by a bird or a falling branch, remember everything that does happen will)
So you now have two categories, but one leads to you death, and ones leads to you failure. So in theory, no matter how hard you try you can never kill your grandad, because the eventualities that result in a sucess live in a category that leads to your death and thus cannot happen, so they dont. The universe then only has half the eventualities it started with, and they will always lead to your failure, no matter how hard you try.
