But if you want chicken soup then you have to put in
chicken. We're distinguishing a paradox here, when you
replied.

Like many so-called paradoxes, it is not a paradox.

Nah. That's just your narcissism speaking.
Nothing wrong with that. Everyone is narcissistic at least
part of the time. You just abuse the privilege.

It is a 'would be' paradox if we actually could travel back in time.

There's nothing that excludes the possibility. The paradox
is meant as "Proof" against it, but as we are all familiar
with concepts such as Simultaneity/the Multiverse we can't
write it off.
There are certainly theoretical means for time travel.
BACKWARDS time travel. We know how to advance forward in
time at accelerated rates. It's all about moving BACK
because then we get into the fun stuff:  Causality!
BACKWARDS time travel, working off the top of my head,
always involves things like moving faster than light,
some type of exotic matter or employing wormholes.
I'm sure I'm missing something.
There is a theoretical means for sending INFORMATION
backwards in time which is plausible enough to warrant
the funding of research..right now.
