Science-Fiction & Fantasy, Short Stories

Absolutely No Paradox is a science fiction short story by Lester Del Rey, first published in 1951. The narrative examines the implications of time travel and the paradoxes it presents, particularly questioning why time travelers from the future have not visited the present. Through a conversation between friends at a social club, the story reveals the limitations of time travel, culminating in a twist that time machines only operate in one direction, thereby eliminating paradoxes. This thought-provoking tale explores the tension between scientific advancement and observable reality.
