I have to say I find my self thinking along the same lines as orangevirus.
Now how would me going back in time to kill myself as a baby make my current form mysteriously disappear? That would mean you have to have two sets of identical molecules, atoms whatever some how linked together because you have current "you" looking at "baby" you. Obviously two different beings of molecules/atoms whatever looking and interfering with each other. You can't be in two places at the same time or that means we all have an identical copy somewhere in the universe right now. Or killing yourself wouldn't be possible(unless one form took its "own" bodies life). Which is where this gets complicated. You would almost just erase your past from pursuing "it's" future (that you already lived) while you in your current form would still have those child hood memories that your now "dead" baby-self never got a chance to experience. You are essentially on a different time line i guess. You have already lived your past, went back and changed it, but your "killer" self would still be there, already have lived your own past. If that makes any sense at all lol. Discuss that idea please. The "killer" you would be the "original" you as you would have to wait for time travel to be invented in order to go back in time to get to the "old" you and kill your person in baby form.
EDIT* I guess what I'm saying is why would your current form disappear if you killed your baby form. Because if that was the case then you should of never lived in the first place to kill your own baby-self if you disappear, because you are "killing" the "killer" at the same time.

thats the time paradox orange was saying.
when u say that there would be another you, somewhere out in the vast universe in another time and dimension, thats the multiple threads theory. as i said before, the paradox doesnt work in that theory. it'd be the same as killing some other random person.
but let's ask the real question. who the hell would want to kill their past self? lmao
i can understand smacking some sense into yourself, but i cant imagine anyone wanting to kill their past self. especially if it doesn't benefit them in any shape or form.
