>>55130516First of all, you are the one who just told me to skip steps with you because something "doesn't matter", second, it does matter and we DO have knowledge of that event playing out differently, our professor encountered a child just like the professor we meet, but since our professor had the book that means the equivalent event did play out different, this is factual. And third, if the event takes place differently at any time then there was no loop, ever. A loop does not break, does not stop, it continues endlessly. The fact the events our professor experienced are different from the ones the other professor just experienced with us prove there has never been any loop whatsoever, like
>>55128844 said you are confusing paradoxes.
The bootstrap paradox theory relied on event A taking place because event B, which took place because event A, and this loop continued forever repeating always the same events. We know now this is not the case, instead event A took place because event B, and event B took place because event C, which took place because event D and this continues infinitely with different events playing out every time.
It's so fucking obvious they literally made Terapagos' true form represent this. It's not up to debate.
