This paper explores two major philosophical paradoxes: the trolley problem and the paradox of time travel. Part A analyzes the moral dilemma of choosing between killing one person or letting five die, drawing on Kant's categorical imperative and utilitarian ethics. Part B examines time travel through the lens of causal loops and reversals, where a person meets their past self, creating untraceable causal origins. Part C contrasts the practical-moral nature of the trolley problem with the metaphysical implications of time travel, highlighting key differences in logical structure and philosophical interpretation.
