The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a paradox and a common thought experiment about whether an object is the same object after having all of its original components replaced over time, typically one after the other.
The "predestination paradox" is a concept in time travel and temporal mechanics, often explored in science fiction. It occurs when a future event is the cause of a past event, which in turn becomes the cause of the future event, forming a self-sustaining loop in time.
Temporal paradox: What happens when a time traveler does things in the past that prevent them from doing them in the first place? Grandfather paradox : If one travels back in time and kills their grandfather before he conceives one of their parents, which precludes their own conception and, therefore, they could not go back in time and kill ...

The transformation relies on the trace operation, which summarizes aspects of the matrix. If this trace term is zero ([†] =), it indicates that the transformation is invalid in that context, but does not directly imply a paradox like the grandfather paradox. Conversely, a non-zero trace suggests a valid transformation leading to a unique ...
The chronology protection conjecture is a hypothesis first proposed by Stephen Hawking that laws of physics beyond those of standard general relativity prevent time travel—even when the latter theory states that it should be possible (such as in scenarios where faster than light travel is allowed).
