...and kill your own father, will you cease to exist?

An example in math where the right side of the equation must equal the left side,

Cease to exist means, the time traveller is never born. AND if he was never born, then he is unable to travel through time and kill his father. After all no such father exists.

Going to add this
The same wood also apply if a person went back in time to shoot himself, because in the past he would be dead as in the future he would be alive and well.

Fortunately in literature one can invent anything that is not logical and make people happy with such.

Then what happens if he does travel back in time, and kill his own father?

Some event occurs to prevent him fulfilling his mission.

Ask yourself this.

What if he could travel back in time. Then kill his Grandfather b4 Granddad met Grandma.
Extending the concept as a mind experiment at this point, should be enough to not even have to deal with the butterfly principle.

Yes, but I am asking, what if he went back in time, saw his father, and killed that man? What would happen?

No, you just get transported to a parallel universe, averting a paradox.

The answer is simple. Its anything ...Anyway U want it 2B. Its Si Fi Fantasy. You have the rite to make up any story and any consequence and any scenario you choose.

Its like asking wot if 2 + 2 = 5

Which I have in fact proved a few times on net. One can. It does not mean in fact its true.

Don't think that wood be true given the amount of energy currently in equations to move in2 a parallel universe is currently 1000 X's the power of CERN. Also currently postulated that such energy wood have a burn out factor which wood destroy that which is 2 B moved into the adjacent parallel universe.

Nor IF it could be done which can B in a mind experiment - Then no need to avert a paradox because in theory infinite universe's wood allow infinite scenario's OTHER then that one which allows Son to kill dad or grandad

Bottom line is even in Quantum math it just does not compute
