And you could always go back in time to stop me from stopping you from stopping the guy. That's why I think time travel will never allow history to be changed, and I think Rick and Morty may have done a bit about that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Indeed.

I.e. in 3012 Dwayne George successfully creates the first functional time machine, and moments later is slain at the hand of a time traveller who went back to prevent the invention of the time machine. permalink fedilink source parent
