The Novikov selfconsistency principle suggests that paradoxes are impossible from "summary" of Time Travel in Einstein's Universe by J. Richard Gott

The Novikov self-consistency principle is a fascinating concept that provides a unique perspective on time travel. According to this principle, paradoxes are deemed impossible in the context of time travel. In other words, events that would lead to contradictions or inconsistencies cannot occur when traveling through time. This principle was proposed by physicist Igor Novikov as a way to reconcile the complexities of time travel within the framework of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The idea behind the Novikov self-consistency principle is that the laws of physics must always remain consistent, even when time travel is involved. This means that any actions taken by a time traveler must ultimately contribute to the predetermined course of events, rather than altering them in a way that would create a paradox. In essence, the principle suggests that the timeline is self-correct...
