​@@GeorgeMonet There is more than one kind of paradox, and the grandfather paradox is not the only kind. If the new universe's duplicates successfully traveled through time, they would experience a time in which they were not present, yet the past universe's versions of themselves would actually be present.

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

Ewan Carner I’m slightly worried that I do haha.

[@l0sts0ul89]

Nope

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

@Ewan Carner Because I’ve seen the episode that the comment is alluding to: I believe it’s called “The Cryonic Woman”; it’s where Fry, Bender and Leela get fired from Planet Express, due to Fry and Bender going joyriding with the spaceship; the Professor also blames Leela for her leaving the keys out, where they could find them. So, needing jobs, Leela implants their former “career chips”, which they took out in the first episode; but she gets them mixed up, and Fry gets Leela’s old chip, which makes him eligible to work at the Cryogenics Lab, where he first met Leela. One of the people, that are unfrozen by Fry, is a guy who says he froze himself, because he wanted to meet William Shakespeare, and thought that time was cyclical; which is what the original post referred to. Fry then says: “Nope. Straight line”. But, we eventually see that the guy was right all along; in the episode “The Late Phillip J. Fry”, we see that the universe is indeed cyclical; when Fry, the Professor, and Bender, go forward in time, to the end of the universe, which then reboots itself, twice. Though the original comment was pretty much just a stream of conscience, there were enough clues present, for me to decipher what it meant; probably due to my having seen those episodes of Futurama- particularly older ones, such as “The Cryonic Woman”, many, MANY, times...because I’m that much of a sad geek haha. I hope that explains things; well, at least slightly anyway haha. Sorry for not replying sooner; I must have missed your response. All the best. 😀👍

Rewatching this I realised they've actually resolved the paradox in a much more thorough way by cancelling out a potential stable time loop by missing the first reset and landing in the second. The first universe (universe 2) they skipped will have the new Fry and co experience the same misadventure. The universe 2 crew will wind up skipping universe 3, where the original crew landed and killed their paradoxes. Universe 2 crew will then land in universe 4 in the same manner, and the loops will end there as no other repetitions of these events will occur.

Isn't he supposed to be a professor, he should know that scientists figured it out, the "purpose" (that's a social group word, there is no meaning and purpose to the universe it isn't alive.) of life was to simply help entropy, equalize energy, just like every other process in the universe. Only we did it in a very complex way due to the presence of water, plenty of energy and complex molecules dissolved in that water. That's all. We're just physics.

Yeah, but assuming the universe and history always repeat itself (except for minor details like altitude, I guess) you're not going back or forward, you're just running in circle. In this case, they went from A to A1, the problem being they were not supposed to be in A1 until the very infinitely small moment where they were supposed to be. In other words, they did take care of the paradox since there was one

Gabriel Gabor Not focusing on the physics or a repeating cycle of the universe and the issue with the uncertainty principle going on there ... Its not a paradox for you in the present, do some action, that effects the future. Thats just normal operation there. In a singular timeline universe framework, going backward in time to effect you going back in time is paradox. Ie grandfather paradox. A causal paradox,future event cause past events This scenario in futurama is them going only forward in time effecting only future events.
