Temporal paradoxes not only figure prominently in the Most overused 100 Star Trek episode plots but are the well most dipped-into when script-writers need some techno-babble that claims to explain something without actually meaning anything at all. Them, or gravimetric phase-shifts. The Butterfly effect was a full-length movie about a temporal paradox, though mostly about being a teenage fuck-up whose every effort to patch things up makes things worse, which he could have done without the muss and bother of time travel.

abstract
  • Temporal paradoxes not only figure prominently in the Most overused 100 Star Trek episode plots but are the well most dipped-into when script-writers need some techno-babble that claims to explain something without actually meaning anything at all. Them, or gravimetric phase-shifts. After viewing a photo on the internet that one wishes to "unsee," time travel and the use of the temporal paradox is a promising strategy, as everyone else will have no memory of a photo that was never made in the first place. Unfortunately, time travelers seem to retain their memory of events even that they keep from occurring, so they cannot unsee anything. The Butterfly effect was a full-length movie about a temporal paradox, though mostly about being a teenage fuck-up whose every effort to patch things up makes things worse, which he could have done without the muss and bother of time travel. As an example of a temporal paradox you can see without buying a movie ticket, this article was written by someone who read it, went back in time, and wrote it to be identical to the article that he had read (or would go on to read). As numerous additional examples, there is the remainder of this article, until someone goes back in time and mercifully prevents it from being written, a gentler alternative than either Revert, Undo, or Murder.
