Other dimensions.

The grandfather paradox is impossible to occur, as doing it would only affect another dimension, a dimension where there is no "you". But you still exist, as you are from another dimension, thus would not be subject to that dimension.

So the theory about it rippling back in time and cross dimensions would stop us from doing it, till we reached a point in the future before this, where we could.
