Time travel paradox resolved...I think

[gnome]

If I was in the far future facing down the heat death of the Universe, and I had a time machine, I know what I'd do. Start shipping hot matter from the Big Bang, and run a heat engine between that and the cold, dead cosmos of the ultimate future. Whoopee - usable energy! Of course this totally undermines the universe from the word go, but what else are you going to do, in the end?

Ahh but what do you do when those rotten wastrel bastards from your future start using THEIR time machine to suck energy out of YOUR project?

Send Zaphod to use a Kill-O-Zap on them.

I think we've figured out where the universe's "missing mass" has gone...

Yeah, just think of the empty space in the heads of all the woo-woos out there.
