If some one created a time machine then some one else stole it and used it to travel back in time before it was made and stop/erase its maker before he made it then it would not have been created in the first place and the whole situation would not have taken place and the person would be stuck in a time loop in which he can't get out of because he does not know he is in one. If this was true then everyone would be caught in this loop and no one would continue their lives at all or would he be the only one along with the time machine creator.

Congrats. You just stumbled onto the grandfather paradox. Sorry but you need to read about the Chronology Protection Conjecture. The laws of physics conspire to prevent macroscopic bodies from carrying information into the past. Thank you Stephen Hawking. Unless ofcourse you take the side of the alternative histories hypothesis. But that is too hollywood, no? Back to the Future..

darko, I stand with your assessment, but I have one small problem with Professor Hawking. In one of his writings, he said that there was, in all probability, NO SUCH ANIMAL as time travel, because no time-travelers had ever presented themselves to the public. To this, I offer one thought experiment.
Go to a mall that you don't usually frequent (to insure that you don't run into anyone you know), go to the food court and begin saying to people, at random, "Hello! I am a time-traveler from the year 3017 A.D., here to observe the socio-political aftermath of the Bush re-election. Would you mind answering a few questions for me?" Oh, and don't forget to have a family member at home to call to get yourself released from the Soft-Room Bureau...

If you change the past you change the past you change the future. If the creater of the time machine was killed in that past before he created it, then he did not create the time machine that cause his death. Another thing is if the killer was going to do something in the past than it would have already happened and what is the point of doing something that was already accomplished.
How can you disprove what I am saying with something someone else has said. theory used to disprove another sounds like you picked sides before you really thought about it. Both are not proven that is why they are theories I just wanted everyones oppions not what someone else tells them to say. If this "theory" called the Chronology Protection Conjecture is a fact then I will take being critisized so rudely.
