Time Paradox

Question: In Michio Kaku’s book Parallel Universes, it addresses the infinite possibility of a “time river” in correlation with Time Travel and its respective paradoxes. The one is question would be the grandfather paradox, in which if one would travel back in time and dispatch their parents his own future would would be “impossible”.

It has been suggested than not unlike a fork in the river, his own sequence of events that portray his future would remain unaffected rather the action would invoke a split or fork in the river to extend a parallel future to which he did not exist. Can you please prescribe further insight to this conundrum and any further literature on this subject would be much appreciated. For reference this is discussed on the last 4-5 pages of Chapter 5 in the book.

Gravity and something more

Jihin Asked:

Some Things That I Have Always Wondered OF : (i hope it may be answered soon …)
1)is it possible that our human body can withstand pressures twice or more than the atmospheric pressure without a suite or is there any artificial instruments or means in which our heart can be made to pump into a level in which we can attain this ability !!!
2)when more gravity  is experienced , it is said that time travels slowly – is it  relative ??? caz time goes at a constant rate !!! it is only the position or view that makes the observer feel the situations ???
3) Is there any gravity chambers successfully made out … in which the gravity can be changed accordingly to observe diff. phenomena ??? Cant It be possible to do that ????

However, I agree that I may not be able to give you a satisfying answer to all your queries, as “Science says the first word of everything and the last word of nothing.” We are learning new things everyday. When we explore more and more, we find that we know less and less and our knowledge is too meagre.

By the time I prepare a well fitting answer to this, visitors are also requested to respond to the question by posting answers and comments.
