Not if forward-of-that point stuff had already happened.
What if you killed someone when you went back in time? Are you saying that wouldn't happen, because, what happened has already happened and can't be changed... interesting premise... maybe we couldn't alter anything. Maybe we'd find that everything is "locked," and we couldn't alter anything. I guess no one will really know until it's possible to time travel, and I think sooner or later they will find a way to do it, just like they're close to being able to regress a person's age.
Well that blows Back To The Future...
I'm saying the universe would have to somehow create whatever you changed. So if you killed my great grandfather - yet I exist. The universe would have to fill the void. Somehow. It'd mean my grandfather's life after you killed him would still have to happen, because he will not have died until he'd lived his life and had all his grandkids, THEN you could kill him before he did that. After he did it.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
