“If
the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what
had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond. And many of course don’t. It’s like a human body, you see. A few cuts and bruises here and there don’t
hurt it. Not even major surgery if it’s
done properly. Paradoxes are just the
scar tissue. Time and space heal themselves
up around them and people simply remember a version of events which makes as
much sense as the require it to make.
“That isn’t to say that if you get involved in a paradox a few things
won’t strike you as being very odd, but if you’ve got through life without that
already happening to you, then I don’t know which Universe you’ve been living
in, but it isn’t this one.”

Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas
Adams)
