A temporal paradox, often associated with time travel, occurs when a time traveler could potentially create a contradiction in the timeline. These paradoxes typically arise when actions taken in the past alter the future in a way that leads to inconsistencies or logical contradictions. One of the most famous examples of a temporal paradox is the "grandfather paradox," which posits the following scenario: If a person travels back in time and prevents their grandfather from meeting their grandmother, they would never be born.
