: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.

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.
