Igor Novikov is a Russian theoretical astrophysicist. In the mid-80's he theorized about time-travel, and how the paradoxes normally associated with it can be ruled out.
"The Novikov consistency principle assumes certain conditions about what sort of time travel is possible. Specifically, it assumes either that there is only one timeline, or that any alternative timelines (such as those postulated by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics) are not accessible."
