A time paradox is when a person who travels in time does something that influences his past self in a way that traveling in time in the first place would not be possible or not have occurred without the first intrusion.

The idea that time is a linear and unalterable series of events, thereby by traveling through time you are incapable of changing anything from happening as you were predetermined to travel through time. Therefore you would be unable to complete actions that would prevent you from being unable to travel in time.

A simple time paradox would be the following:
If you were to go back in time and kill your grandfather would you be born and be able to go back in time to kill your grandfather?
