What if you go back in time and kill your grandfather before your father is born? But if you're never born, how could you go back and kill your grandfather?

Simple - you exist in the universe you've created, but you exist without having formally been born when you return.
Strictly rethorical, since travelling back through time isn't possible. If it was, someone in the infinite future would already have travelled back and told us so...

The answer is '42'.

I hate the whole "infinite time-loop" scenario. (i.e. Terminator). It's pretty much the same thing as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Always hit the big red button whenever you get the chance.

The same must apply to infinite number of (parallel?) 'universes', which some theorists say exists.
(That the universe is infinite, so traveling beyond our universe's borders, into the void, one will eventually get to another universe (created by a different Big Bang), and another, and so on...)
If the number of universes whould be infinite there should be someone (or a infinite number of beeings  ) who had discovered a way to travel here and visited us.
And there would be a infinite number of beeings playing infinite setups of EVE online.  |

You'll be in deep ...
First you kill your grandfather and then you can't exist, but as you can't exist you can't go back in time and kill him so you do exist, but then you can go back to time and kill him, but then you can't exist ... Ad Lib

Ugh time. We think it's linear, but this is best a question asked in um...a few more millenia at the least.
That's like bringing up a religious question, anyone can talk about it until they are blue in the face, but everyone is clueless.
We're still less then single celled organisms in the cosmic 'frame of reference'. We still don't know jack about ourselves let alone our surroundings. Imagine how barbaric we'll seem to someone living in the 36th century? (should we not war ourselves to extinction)
Like looking back at the Roman Empire from our perspective today.

If you did that, you would be born and you would not be born.
