Paradox of the Grand Hotel

This "paradox" doesn't work!

If all the hotel rooms are full, you can not simply move a guest to another room.

In the paradox, does it imply that EVERY guest is changing room at the same time or one by one.

If the new guest moves into room 1 while guest 1 is moving into room 2, etc, there will always be 1 guest on the move indefinitely.

So to accommodate every new guest, the same amount of guest would have to be on the move and technically without a room while moving.

If it implies that ALL the guest is moving at the same time, this is not possible because there is no vacant room to move to since EVERY room is occupied already.

So, either you can accommodate a new guest by forcing a guest on the move or you can not accommodate any new guests because ALL the rooms are already occupied.

If you're erased from time and space could you enter the 'afterlife'?

Hypotheticaly, If time travel existed and we could go forwards and backwards in time; and you created a paradox in which your existence never was (the grandfather/mad scientist theory) and there WAS an afterlife how humans percieve it currently; (soul leaving the body and entering a spirit world/universe) could the soul enter or would the soul seise to exist too? For instance, the spirit world would have to have no concept of time and space as A) everyone would age and B) it would run out of space eventually as noone would be leaving it. Technically you and your soul would of existed once, and as the soul can survive without your physical presence, couldn't it survive without a physical existence, especially as it can pass through worlds?

I know that answers will be based on alot of 'perhaps' and 'maybes' but i'm very interested in what others think on this.
