- That's the beauty of information that's the subject of a temporal paradox: it's not a line, there is no start point, it's just a continuous circular loop. It only exists because it already existed. Such is also called a "bootstrap paradox", as someone can't pull themselves up by their own bootstraps (try it, you'll see). —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor.
