1. Grandfather paradox – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
   The grandfather paradox is a proposed paradox of time travel, first described by the science fiction writer René Barjavel in his 1943 book Le Voyageur Imprudent (The Imprudent Traveller).[1] The paradox is this: suppose a man traveled back in time and killed his biological grandfather before the latter met the traveller's grandmother. As a result, one of the traveller's parents (and by extension, the traveller himself) would never have been conceived. This would imply that he could not have travelled back in time after all, which in turn implies the grandfather would still be alive, and the traveller would have been conceived, allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather. Thus each possibility seems to imply its own negation, a type of logical paradox.
2. Ontological paradox – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
   An ontological paradox is a paradox of time travel that questions the existence and creation of information and objects that travel in time. It is very closely related to the predestination paradox and usually occurs at the same time.

Ok, este é um daqueles posts onde você só vai ler um blogueiro sem tempo listando várias coisas que aconteceram recentemente e que ele alega terem o impedido de colocar algo novo e interessante no ar.

• Reforma no apartamento durante todo o mês de Janeiro.
• Pais morando na casa da praia (40Km de distância) pra fugir do inferno da reforma.
• Filhote de gato novato em casa e já doentinho… (tratamento lento e que exige bastante atenção)
• Novo emprego como professor universitário numa grande universidade particular.
• Estou como sócio minoritário numa empresa de consultoria, atuando especificamente na área de Tecnologias Educacionais e Ensino a Distância.
• Participação mais frequênte num grupo de pesquisa do Centro de Informática da UFPE coordenando uma parte do trabalho de documentação no desenvolvimento de um LMS chamado Amadeus.
• A migração de todas as minhas coisas do velho iBook G4 de guerra para o meu novo Aluminum MacBook.
• Um trabalho de mestrado que anda pedindo mais atenção do que anda recebendo.

Agora acho que entendo o motivo de estar tão cansado e sonolento…
