->'''Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown:''' ...[[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet the encounter]] could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would [[TimeCrash unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum]] and [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 destroy the entire universe]]! Granted that's a worst-case scenario. [[BadNewsInAGoodWay The destruction might in fact be very localized]], [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX3 limited to merely our own galaxy.]]\\

->One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broadminded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is also no problem about changing the course of history... the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

->"See? Five minutes before I shall place it there, it is there!"\\
His other colleague frowned at the cube. "But," he said, "what if, now that it has already appeared five minutes before you place it there, you should change your mind about doing so and not place it there at three o'clock? Wouldn't there be a paradox of some sort involved?"\\
"An interesting idea," Professor Johnson said. "I had not thought of it, and [[ForScience it will be interesting to try.]]"

->'''978.M41 - The Lost Waaagh!'''\\
The [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Ork]] Warlord Grizgutz, a noted kleptomaniac, launches his Waaagh! into the Morloq system. Whilst using warp-travel to reach their quarry, Grizgutz and his warband unwittingly travel through time and emerge from the shifting chaos of the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Empyrean]] shortly before they set off. Grizgutz [[TemporalSuicide hunts down and kills his doppelganger,]] [[InsaneTrollLogic reasoning]] that this way [[TemporalDuplication he can have a spare of his favourite gun.]] The resultant confusion stops his Waaagh! in its tracks.
