Time's arrow

Forget all the nonsense you heard about time travel. You can't go back and kill your grandfather. The past has already happened. Everything is linked, each event underpins the next, everything is determined; you can't do anything to break those links. Try, and you enter a forbidden state. Your body won't obey your will.
