My view

I have to admit that I have always had a problem with time travel in 
POA.  One theory that I have read about (apologies if this has been 
covered already)is the existence of parallel universes where a 
different you or me exists, but is leading a slightly different 
life.  The argument goes that if you went back in time and killed 
yourself, you would in fact be killing yourself from a parallel 
universe, not your own.

I'm not sure if this adds anything to the debate or confuses the 
issue any more.
