Talking about paradoxes gives me a headache

[draconic_historian]

A question to you all that has been weighing on my mind for some time.

We've already inadvertently changed history to our own detriment before. What happens if we accidentally change history so that one who invented our time machine was never born. If there was no one from the present to open the time portal back up, would we just get trapped in the past?

Do any of you know how to build a time machine from scratch? I do have some hope of eventually returning to my homeworld, and being stuck in the seventh century would make that significantly more difficult.

The changes are still relatively small, so they aren't noticable, yet. If you drop a small pebble into a pool of water, the waves it creates are scarcely noticable from the edge.
