IE, a person could not go back in time to kill Hitler, as a paradox would be created where the person would find no need to go back in time to kill Hitler, as he has already been killed. Therefore, anything that a future time-traveler will decide to do in the past has already happened as part of the timeline, for example, the time traveler has failed to kill Hitler in the past already.
