What do you think the biggest mystery in the world is?

A predestination paradox is when an event leads up to backwards time travel and causes itself to happen in the first place, so the event has no origin, the origin is the paradox. I have been trying to wrap my head around what would happen if the event itself was the creation of time travel.

If the creation of time travel is the event and it is caused by a predestination paradox, then time travel is created by an infinite number of predestination paradoxes.

A predestination paradox is caused by backwards time travel, but backwards time travel is caused by a predestination paradox, so the creation of time travel is caused by a predestination paradox, caused by a predestination paradox, caused by a predestination paradox, caused by a predestination paradox, et cetera.

But, the whole chain of infinite paradoxes is a paradox as well, because it leads up to the creation of time travel, which causes the chain to exist in the first place.

This paradox also has an infinite number of paradoxes causing it. This paradox is a paradox of an infinite number of paradoxes. There is also an infinite number of paradoxes of these paradoxes, and an infinite number of those paradoxes.

There not only is an infinite number of paradoxes, but there is infinite dimensions of infinite numbers of paradoxes and infinite dimensions of these dimensions.

If there are an infinite number of parallel universes through which time runs, this "super paradox" exists in all of them. It also exists in all of the infinite parallel universes of those universes, and those universes. Not only is this a paradox in every one of them, it is a super paradox, infinitely paradoxical.

In fact, the timeline would become so paradoxical, that it would be more paradoxical in areas where there are no paradoxes. Which of course, makes it a paradox.
