	Grandfather paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The grandfather paradox is a paradox of time travel, supposedly first conceived by the science fiction writer René Barjavel in his book "Future times three" ("Le voyageur imprudent", 1943).
		Since quantum physics is governed by probabilities, an unmeasured entity (in this case, your historical grandfather) has numerous probable states; but, when that entity is measured, the number of its probable states singularises, resulting in a singular outcome (in this case, ultimately, you).
		One of the main assumptions of the grandfather paradox is that causality is an active physical force which can "follow" a time-traveller back through time.

		Grandfather realized, as the elder spoke, that he was the spirit of a man-a man no longer of flesh, but a man who had once walked a spiritual path, possibly a shaman of this tribe.

	Land Use Laws and Grandfather Clauses - Maine Townsman - May 1991 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A grandfather clause is a provision of law that exempts certain persons or pre-existing conditions from the scope of a regulation or requirement.
		Although the District Court held that the use was grandfathered as pre-existing the ordinance's requirement for a special exception permit, the Superior Court, on appeal, held that "grandfathering" is an issue of law and that, "As a general rule.
		Because grandfather clauses are each unique to the ordinances they serve, however, it is vital that they be thoughtfully drafted and carefully construed, for while Maine courts have generally interpreted such provisions rather strictly, they will not read into them requirements of restrictions that are not there.

		The heart of the paradox is the apparent existence of you, the murderer of your own grandfather, when the very act of you murdering your own grandfather eliminates the possibility of you ever coming into existence.
		Among the claimed solutions are that you can't murder your grandfather.
