It's 3:14 PM on a typical Tuesday afternoon in the year 2025. You, a time traveler, have just discovered the secret to avoiding the Novikov's paradox, a self-consistent solution to the bootstrap paradox that has left physicists scratching their heads for centuries.
But little do you know, your actions have created a predestination paradox. You have become a predestinated version of yourself, reliving the same moments over and over, trapped in a never-ending loop.
As you wander through the streets, you notice that everyone around you seems to be a version of yourself. There's you, and you, and you, all with the same confused expression on your face.
You try to talk to them, but they just nod in unison, as if they're in on the joke.
It's a never-ending cycle of déjà vu, a never-ending repetition of the same events, with no escape.
You start to wonder, am I predestined to fail, or am I just stuck in a time loop?
